For example, a kitchen or bathroom fitter may not want central heating systems, so we would not cover it. 2: LEVEL B: plus lighting circuits 3: LEVEL A: This allows the tradesman to do limited additional electrical work such as install or exchange a consumer unit. You must hold level B plus lighting before you undertake level A. LEVEL A will not allow the candidate to call him/herself an electrician and they would not be able to do other work such as periodic inspections.
