5.0 RatingEV Charger Installation (C&G 2921-34)

Excellent course — now fully qualified to install EV chargers. Business has grown significantly since.

*****Mark D.

5.0 RatingEV Charger Installation (C&G 2921-34)

Came in as a domestic installer, left as an OZEV-approved EV installer. The grant-compliance section alone is worth the course fee — saved me weeks of guessing at the WCS paperwork.

*****Priya S.
PS
5.0 RatingEV Charger Installation (C&G 2921-34)

Solid two days. The PME/TT earthing module sorted out everything I had been unclear on for months. Practical install on day two clinched it.

- Frequently Asked

Everything you need
to know, upfront.

What qualification do I need to install EV chargers in the UK?+

The 2921-34 is a specialist CPD qualification for practising electricians who already meet the published industry entry requirements. It is recognised by JIB/ECS and carries the Electrician Plus kitemark. OZEV authorisation for grant-funded work is a separate business approval process that currently requires eligible Competent Person Scheme or ECA membership; this qualification does not grant OZEV status by itself.

Can I install an EV charging point at home myself?+

No. Under BS 7671 and Part P of the Building Regulations, fixed electrical work in domestic properties — including EV charge point installation — must be carried out by a qualified electrician and notified to building control. For OZEV grant-funded installations, the work must be done by an OZEV-approved installer holding the City & Guilds 2921-34 qualification. DIY installation is unsafe and will void manufacturer warranties.

How much does EV charger installation cost?+

For a domestic home EV charger, installation typically costs £800–£1,200 depending on the unit, the cable run, and whether a consumer unit upgrade is needed. Commercial EV charging station installation costs vary widely — a single workplace 7kW charging point is similar to domestic, while multi-bay rapid-charger sites can run into tens of thousands. OZEV grants and the Workplace Charging Scheme can offset costs when the work is carried out by an OZEV-approved installer.

Are there free or grant-funded EV charger installations?+

Eligible households, landlords and businesses may be able to use current OZEV chargepoint grants, including the Workplace Charging Scheme. Grant work must be completed by an OZEV-authorised installer using eligible equipment. Authorisation is applied for separately and is not awarded automatically with the City & Guilds 2921-34 qualification.

How is a commercial EV charging station installed?+

Commercial EV charging station installation requires load calculations on the building supply, three-phase distribution where bays exceed single-phase capacity, and protective devices selected to BS 7671 and the IET Code of Practice 5th Edition (2023). It also includes integration with energy-management and networked charging systems, plus submission for OZEV/WCS funding where applicable. The 2921-34 course covers all of this for qualified electricians moving into commercial EV work.

Is EV charger installation a good career path for electricians?+

Yes. EV charging is one of the fastest-growing specialisms in the UK electrical industry. With the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars, demand for OZEV-approved installers is rising sharply. Many electricians stack the City & Guilds 2921 (EV charging), 2922 (solar PV) and 2923 (battery storage) to offer a full renewable-installation service.
