The City & Guilds 2383-10 Award in Building Regulations for Electrical Installations in Dwellings is an online course that provides an overview of the Building Regulations.
This half-day on-line course introduces the legal and regulatory framework surrounding electrical work in dwellings, particularly the requirements of Part P of the Building Regulations, which governs electrical safety in homes.
The 2383 Award in Building Regulations for Electrical Installations in Dwellings on-line course concludes with an open-book multiple-choice online exam which you need to attend the centre in Tring to complete. The exam lasts 60 minutes and includes 35 questions.
It is aimed at individuals involved in domestic electrical installation who need to understand how their work interacts with building control processes and compliance requirements.
Although the qualification demonstrates a candidate’s knowledge of the relevant Building Regulations, it does not, on its own, allow an electrician to self-certify or sign off electrical work. Competent Person Scheme (CPS) registration is required for that.
The course is suitable for domestic electrical installers who need background knowledge of the Building Regulations that apply to electrical work in dwellings, and it supports proof of competence when joining a Domestic Installer scheme.
Pathway to Part P Registration
To become registered for Part P through a CPS provider (e.g., NICEIC, NAPIT), a domestic installer typically needs to complete a recognised Level 3 NVQ in electrical installation and apply to a scheme provider (e.g., NICEIC, ELECSA/NAPIT).
Demonstrate competence through qualifications, experience, and on-site assessments.
There are no formal entry requirements for the 2383 course.
