NICEIC has announced the launch of a new one-day remote training course for the Level 3 EVCP (electric vehicle charge point) qualification, aimed at allowing electrical contractors to upskill without needing to attend a training centre.
The course, accredited by City & Guilds and which will be remotely invigilated, will run across five initial dates in July, August and September, starting on 31 July.
The Requirements for the Design and Installation of Domestic and Small Commercial Electric Vehicle Charging Installations (2921-34) award is ‘aimed at practicing electricians interested in understanding how to design and install the range of electric vehicle supply equipment and systems available’, in the words of the City & Guilds description. It is also ‘specifically designed for those proficient in designing low-voltage radial power circuits, with a focus on installing small-scale electric vehicle supply equipment in domestic and small commercial settings.’
The NICEIC course sessions will be delivered in real time by experienced tutors, enabling learners to ask questions and receive immediate feedback.
The goal, the company notes, was to provide greater convenience for contractors while retaining the tutor-led environment critical for building confidence in a technical area like EV charge point installation.
“With consumer demand for electric vehicles continuing to grow, we’re seeing real-world electrification become a defining theme for the year ahead. In 2025 alone, EV sales rose by 28%, with around one in three new cars sold now fully electric. That pace of change means we need more contractors competent in the technology to meet demand and enable the roll-out,” said Alex Robinson, head of training at NICEIC.
“Our focus is to make high-quality training more accessible to electrical contractors across the UK. This course allows us to reach those who may not be able to travel to a training centre, while still delivering the tutor-led experience that supports real understanding and competence.”
