READY FOR YOUR AM2? GET STARTED HERE
Are you close to completing your apprenticeship and due to take your AM2? Here’s a quick guide to what happens at each step of the process.
THE CHECKLIST
First, NET needs to check you’re eligible for the assessment. You’ll need to sign the ‘Readiness for Assessment Checklist’ with your employer and training provider. You should only sign this if you’re completely confident you have the skills and knowledge required. It’s an important document, so you shouldn’t feel under any pressure to sign it.
■ ASSESSMENT BOOKING
Once NET approves you for the assessment, your AM2 can be booked. There will be at least 10 working days between making the booking and sitting your assessment, giving you time to prepare and feel ready.
■ PREPARATION
While you’re waiting for your assessment, you should do everything you can to prepare. For all the resources you'll need, visit:
www.netservices.org.uk/get-ready
■
ON THE DAY
When you arrive at the assessment centre, you’ll have an induction before you start. During the assessment, your assessor will use objective criteria to determine whether you have met the required standard for each task.
■ RESULTS
You’ll receive your result five days after the assessor has submitted your marks and NET has completed moderation.
■ CERTIFICATION
Once you’ve passed, you can register for your AM2 e-certificate, which you can view securely online and share with employers. You can also order a free printed copy if needed.
■ FEEDBACK
If you’re unsuccessful, you’ll be given general feedback on where you didn’t meet the criteria. This will help you understand where further training or improvement may be needed before you
If you’re an apprentice in England, NET will also apply for your Apprenticeship Completion Certificate, issued by the Department for Education.
ON TOP OF YOUR GAME
At the end of your apprenticeship you’ll need to complete the AM2S or AM2D Assessment before you can become fully qualified.
If you’re on the Installation Electrician apprenticeship you’ll be doing the AM2S, if you’re a Domestic Electrician apprentice, you’ll be doing the AM2D.
WHAT IS THIS?
It’s an in-depth assessment where you have to carry out specific tasks to show what you have learned during your apprenticeship.
BE PREPARED!
The AM2S and AM2D Checklists help you to look exactly what you need to do and make sure you’ve gained the right knowledge and practical experience. This assessment is the pinnacle of everything you’ve learnt during your apprenticeship. So why not be proud of your skills and training and make it your mission to pass first time?

The Powerboard also includes removable door and cover handles, giving you more room to work during installation and maintenance. Rated up to 250A, it gives apprentices hands-on experience with equipment suitable for real-world applications.
■ RELIABLE CONNECTIONS
Inside, you’ll find NSXm MCCBs with EverLink technology, which helps maintain strong, reliable connections even as cables move over time. This reduces the need for retightening and supports good installation habits from the start.
■ INTEGRATED SURGE PROTECTION
The board also features new Type 1+2 integral surge protection, helping to keep systems safe from electrical spikes. A built-in viewing window allows you to check surge protection status instantly, without needing to remove the cover.
Additional features include a range of breaker options: triple pole, triple pole and neutral, or four pole, along with a hinged meter bracket that supports metering for up to eight devices, making cabling clearer and more manageable.

STARTING OUT STRONG
Whether you’re about to start your first electrical job, still looking for an apprenticeship, or returning to college in the autumn – this guide is here to help you feel confident and prepared for life on site.
THESE ARE THE KEY QUALITIES THAT MAKE A STRONG IMPRESSION ON EMPLOYERS:
■ A Willing Attitude – Enthusiasm and a genuine interest in electrical work go a long way.
■ Reliability – Turn up consistently, be punctual (aim to arrive 10–15 minutes early), and show you can be counted on.
■ Respect & Communication – Be polite, friendly, ask questions, and listen well. It shows maturity and professionalism.
■ Effort on Your Course – Employers often ask colleges for references. Your attendance, focus, and attitude matter.
■ Presentation – Make sure you look tidy, wear the correct PPE, and bring any kit or tools you’ve been asked to.
■ Openness to Learning – You’re not expected to know everything – but being open, alert, and ready to learn makes a big impression.
WHAT PUTS EMPLOYERS OFF?
■ Poor punctuality, messy CVs, overconfidence, or a ‘know-it-all’ vibe can be dealbreakers.
Once you do get on site – whether it’s a work placement or your first proper job – those early impressions matter.
TOP MISTAKES TO AVOID:
■ Turning up late or cutting it fine
■ Standing around waiting instead of asking what’s next
■ Acting like you already know everything
■ Ignoring health and safety guidance
■ Being glued to your phone
Small habits make a big difference to how you’re seen.
“YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION – MAKE IT COUNT”
SKILLS INACTION
MAKING PROGRESS
Landing an apprenticeship is just the beginning. If you want to keep moving forward, earn trust, and develop into a great electrician, every day on site is an investment in your future.
THESE TIPS WILL HELP YOU BUILD MOMENTUM:
■ Be Curious – Don’t just do what you’re told. Ask why something is done that way.
■ Watch Closely – If you’re not hands-on, observe carefully. Noticing how things are done helps you learn fast.
■ Keep a Log – Use a notebook or notes app to track what you’ve done and learned. Handy when it’s time to update your CV or portfolio.
■ Ask for Feedback – Don’t be afraid to ask how you’re doing or what to improve. It shows maturity and a desire to grow.
■ Set Small Goals – Whether it’s learning a new skill or handling a task solo, progress happens one step at a time.
“THE WAY YOU DO THE SMALL JOBS TELLS US HOW YOU’LL HANDLE THE BIG ONES”
“STAY CURIOUS, OBSERVE, LEARN, AND GROW ONE SMALL STEP AT A TIME”
TOP TIP
Treat every task seriously, no matter how minor. That’s how you build a reputation people rely on.
SELF-CARE & YOUR RIGHTS
Knowing how to carry yourself on site, looking after yourself, and understanding your rights will make your experience more positive, professional and sustainable.
HERE’S HOW TO GET ALONG WITH YOUR TEAM, STAY SAFE, AND TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR PROGRESS:
■ Mobile Use – Keep your phone on silent and out of sight unless needed for work.
■ Stay Busy – If you finish a task, ask what else you can do.
■ Respect the Chain of Command –Know who’s supervising you and follow their lead.
■ Own Your Mistakes – Everyone slips up. Owning it shows maturity and professionalism.
■ Support Each Other – Every tradesperson started as a learner. Don’t try to outdo others or put anyone down – it drains team morale. A good crew lifts each other up.
■ Stay Hydrated & Fuelled – Bring a bottle of water and a packed lunch. Physical work needs energy.
■ Ask for Help – Struggling with something? Let your tutor or manager know sooner rather than later.
■ Take Pride – Every skill you learn builds your future career. Turn up with purpose.
YOUR RIGHTS AS AN APPRENTICE:
■ A Written Agreement – You should receive a contract or written terms of your employment or training.
■ National Minimum Wage – You're entitled to the current apprentice rate. Once you turn 19 and have completed your first year, you move to the minimum wage rate for your age.
■ Paid Holidays – At least 28 days paid leave a year, which may include bank holidays.
■ A Safe Working Environment – You must be given proper PPE and training.
■ Support & Mentorship – You should have someone to go to if you’re unsure or struggling.
“YOU’RE NOT EXPECTED TO KNOW EVERYTHING – JUST SHOW THAT YOU WANT TO LEARN”
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:
■ Show Up Prepared – On time, dressed appropriately, ready to learn.
■ Be Respectful – Of your colleagues, tutor/ supervisor, and the workspace.
■ Stick With It – Even when it’s hard, showing resilience and reliability makes you stand out.
