This City & Guilds 2921-34 qualification, replaces the City & Guilds 2919-01 & 2921-31. This course aims to provide expert guidance to learners wishing to gain knowledge and understanding on Electric Vehicle charging equipment installation.
The course is aimed at practising electricians interested in understanding how to install the range of equipment and systems available.
