18th Edition Course Norwich

Exam Options for Norwich Candidates

There is no City & Guilds exam centre currently operating in Norwich itself, but that doesn’t mean you need to travel far or rearrange your working week. MJ Electrical Training offers two straightforward options.

Home-based webcam exam — this is the most popular choice for Norwich candidates. You sit the exam at home, fully invigilated via webcam, at a weekly slot that suits you. There’s no travel, no time off work, and results come through typically the same day. If you have a quiet room and a reliable internet connection, you’re ready.

Centre-based exam — if you prefer to sit in an invigilated venue, the closest City & Guilds approved centre to Norwich is Ipswich. This is a straightforward drive down the A140 — around 45 minutes in normal traffic — and worth considering if you’d rather not sit the exam at home.

For most electricians in Norwich, Wymondham, Dereham and the surrounding area, the home-based option is the faster and more convenient route to qualification.

How It Works

Getting qualified is a simple process. Once you book your place, you receive immediate access to the full online course — structured chapter by chapter to follow the layout of BS 7671:2018+A4:2026. The material is designed for working electricians, not academics. It’s practical, clearly written and structured around the open-book exam format.

You work through the content at your own pace — most candidates complete the study in two to four weeks alongside full-time work. When you’re ready to sit, you choose a weekly exam slot, confirm your booking and take the two-hour open-book multiple-choice paper from home. The result typically comes through the same day.

Your £288.00 Inc VAT covers everything — the full course and the exam fee. No hidden charges, no extras.

Who Studies With MJ Electrical Training?

Our Norwich and Norfolk candidates range widely. Many are qualified electricians whose existing 17th Edition certificate has lapsed or who need to demonstrate current Amendment 4:2026 competence to their approving body. Others are improvers and second-fix operatives building the credentials for their ECS Card application. Some are contractors who’ve been asked by their principal contractor to evidence current BS 7671 competence before starting on a new housing development.

Whatever your reason, the outcome is the same: a recognised City & Guilds qualification that satisfies NICEIC, NAPIT, and most approved contractor schemes across England and Wales.
