NICEIC, a certification body for the UK’s electrical contracting industry, has launched a new remote training course for the Level 3 Award in the Requirements for the Design and Installation of Domestic and Small Commercial Electric Vehicle Charging Installations (2921-34).
The one-day course is designed to help electrical contractors gain a recognised electric vehicle charging point (EVCP) qualification without attending a training centre. Accredited by City & Guilds, the course is delivered remotely with live tutor-led sessions and remotely invigilated assessments.
The first courses will run across five dates in July, August, and September, beginning on 31 July 2026.
Learners attend live online sessions led by experienced tutors, enabling them to ask questions and receive feedback throughout the day.
NICEIC says the course provides a more accessible training option for contractors while retaining the tutor-led approach to developing competence in EV chargepoint installation.
Live online training aims to improve accessibility
Alex Robinson, Head of Training at NICEIC, notes, “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. 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.”
NICEIC is also offering a 5% discount on all virtual training courses available through its online shop between 1 July and 31 August 2026.
The discount can be used alongside other promotional offers, including the existing 10% training discount for NICEIC-certified businesses.
More information about the course and upcoming training dates is available through the NICEIC online shop.
