Course Breakdown
This qualification is not a technical certificate which you spend most of your time in a classroom or workshop, but rather a qualification that is completed in a place of work. To be able to complete this qualification you must be able to evidence your electrotechnical competency by completing Electrical installations on site and then have your work assessed by one of our Assessors. The majority of the assessment programme is completed on site (a real place of work and not a training centre), a small amount at the training centre and then the final stage is an assessment known as the AM2 (Achieved Measurement), which will be completed at an AM2 approved centre.
Why do you need the Level 3 NVQ Electrical qualification?
It allows for Electrical Improvers and Experienced Workers to progress in their career as a qualified Electrician and onto the AM2 Assessment:
Upon completion of the AM2, Electrical Improvers and Experienced Workers can do the following:
Obtain the status of “Electrician” with the JIB. If you wish to join them or work for an Electrical Contracting firm that is a member of the JIB.
Obtain a JIB Gold ECS card.
Become a Part P registered “Approved Electrician” with one of the Part P scheme providers such as NICEIC, Elecsa or NAPIT.
What does the Level 3 NVQ Electrical programme consist of?
There is no duration set for the level 3 NVQ as it will be down to the trainee, depending on how long it will take for he/she to complete a portfolio of evidence and obtain the Electrical work needed to complete the targets set by City and Guilds. The stages include:
A small qualification bridging unit and assessment is undertaken at the training centre.
Portfolio sessions will be taken at the centre to guide the trainee.
Assessments are completed on site.
A final assessment (AM2) will be completed at an AM2 centre - Not included in course fees.
Do you charge for site assessments and if so, how much does a visit cost? 
Don’t be caught out by unexpected additional charges. Our NVQ package allows you unlimited site visits for free, you only pay once for this NVQ unlike most other providers.

Aim
The Digital CCTV & Remote Access course is designed to give participants a practical knowledge of integrating Analogue and Digital technologies in addition to access and control from remote locations such as laptops, tablets and mobile phones.
Duration and Schedule
The Digital CCTV & Remote Access course runs over 3 days, the next course commencing on Saturday 16th November at 10.00am

Online Virtual Classroom – how it works?
The course will be delivered through blended training consisting of 3 online virtual classroom sessions.
During the virtual classroom sessions, Trainees will have a live video feed with their instructor talking to them, doing practical live demonstrations on equipment being involved actively in the learning.
We will send out a practical kit so that trainees can complete assignments and practical work at home. The kit is the property of Hi-Tech Training and will be returned to Hi-Tech Training on the last day of the course.
(The kits may also be purchased by the learner….see the Kits Page Link for more details).
The kit consists of multimeter, DVR (Digital Video Recorder), Monitor, Cameras, BNC connectors, Coax and security cable, battery, resistors, baluns, cutters, screwdriver, Lens Calculator, Power Supply Units, etc. Trainees will build various projects as part of the course.
The kit forms an integral part of the course, so full course fees need to be paid at least 7 days prior to course commencement to allow time to ship the kit in time for the course.
* If attending the course from outside of Ireland the course practical training kit must be purchased via our online shop in time for delivery before course commencement. The equipment will then remain the property of the trainee.
In preparation for each course, we have a quick informal free 1 hr online meeting approx. 7 days prior to course commencement, to make sure that trainees get connected through Zoom properly, let them know what the virtual classroom will be like and go through any questions they may have.

LOOKING FOR: MG, YA, ADULT FICTION / NON-FICTION

Kesia Lupo joined Donald Maass Literary Agency in 2024 after 11 years working across the publishing industry. She started out as an editorial assistant at Pan Macmillan London in 2013, transitioning to children’s fiction in 2015 when she moved to Chicken House (a UK imprint of Scholastic), where she worked her way up from junior to senior editor. Here she acquired and edited bestselling, internationally successful and prize-winning fiction for middle grade (MG) and YA readers. In 2023 she transitioned over to the US and agenting, working with the Bindery Agency before finding a home with DMLA.

At DMLA, Kesia is building a list leaning 60/40 towards MG and YA fiction, with the rest consisting of adult fiction and a smattering of adult non-fiction. She is especially, but not exclusively, interested in underrepresented voices, whether BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, disabled writers or other identities not listed here. Across all age-groups, she’s seeking:
Fantasy/Science Fiction: High fantasy, low fantasy, cosy fantasy. Particularly interested in fantasy and SF inspired by underrepresented cultures with unique world-building. Romantasy is fine but the fantasy elements MUST be strong!
Horror: Psychological and paranormal horror in particular but will consider slashers. Kesia loves gothic horror and is not generally fazed by gory content.
Thrillers: Upmarket thrillers with a unique spin. Loves plot twists!
Historical: Open to everything with a strong hook and informed by excellent research. Would love to find non-Eurocentric historical fiction.

For adult fiction only, she’s seeking:
Bookclub/women’s fiction: Voice-driven, high-concept novels across these categories.
Romance: Upmarket romance with a great one-line pitch. Happy with spice.
For adult non-fiction, she’s interested in accessible political, cultural or historical topics with broad appeal.

Please don’t self-reject – if you are unsure about whether your story might be a good fit, Kesia would rather see it.

In one single word document, Kesia would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document, whichever is shorter. 

(In addition to the paid sessions, Kesia is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 

By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.

Louise is especially interested in novels that represent working-class people or children going through difficult circumstances (think <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Shuggie Bain</em> by Douglas Stuart, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">My Name is Leon</em> by Kit de Waal or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Boys Don&rsquo;t Cry</em> by F&Iacute;ona Scarlett).</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Irish literary and book club fiction</strong>. Think Claire Keegan, Louise Kennedy or Anne Griffin.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">In <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">commercial fiction</strong> she loves novels set during the Second World War, such as <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Nightingale</em> by Kristin Hannah, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Beekeeper of Aleppo</em> by Christi Lefteri or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Midwife of Auschwitz</em> by Anna Stuart. Louise recently read and loved <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Last List of Mabel Beaumont</em> by Laura Pearson and would love to see anything in the same &lsquo;older person going on a journey&rsquo; category, a more recent <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry</em>.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Louise had a lot of fun publishing a &lsquo;pet fiction&rsquo; novel as an editor (<em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Molly and the Cat&nbsp;Caf&eacute;</em>) and would love to find an author who can write an <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Alfie the Doorstep Cat/Dog</em>.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">She has a soft spot for novels featuring <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">time-travel or parallel universes</strong>, a &lsquo;what if&rsquo; that plays around with conventions. At the literary end this would be books like <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Life After Life</em> by Kate Atkinson, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Shining Girls</em> by Lauren Beukes or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">This is How You Lose the Time War</em> by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. At the more commercial end Louise loved <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Wrong Place, Wrong Time</em> by Gillian McAllister, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Dark Matter</em> by Blake Crouch and <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Oona Out of Order</em> by Martina Montimore. She also enjoys novels set in the real world but featuring a hefty dose of magic or the supernatural. They can be commercial or literary, present-day or historical. Think <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Rivers of London</em> by Ben Aaronovitch, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Threadneedle</em> by Cari Thomas, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">A Discovery of Witches</em> by Deborah Harkness or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Gifts</em> by Liz Hyder. And also cosy fantasy in the vein of <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Legends and Lattes</em> or<em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">&nbsp;The House in the Cerulean Sea</em>.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Cosy or humorous crime</strong>. Recently, Louise absolutely loved <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Over My Dead Body</em> by Maz Evans.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION

Louise Buckley  has worked in publishing for well over a decade. She was inspired to enter the publishing industry after completing an MA in Creative Writing and then spent a hugely enjoyable year working as a bookseller for Waterstones, wishing that she could have a hand in publishing books.

After a year working at Dorling Kindersley, she then spent almost five years working in the commercial fiction division at Pan Macmillan, where she published a mix of commercial bestsellers and award-winning authors.

Most recently, she was an Associate Literary Agent at Zeno Agency Ltd. As an agent she represented a roster of commercial and literary fiction, including Anne Griffin’s When All is Said, which spent five weeks at number one in Ireland and sold into 17 territories.

She is delighted to be working with Hannah at Hannah Sheppard Literary Agency.
Louise is looking for:-

Literary and upmarket fiction that focusses on the underdog, the repressed, the suppressed. Louise is especially interested in novels that represent working-class people or children going through difficult circumstances (think Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart, My Name is Leon by Kit de Waal or Boys Don’t Cry by FÍona Scarlett).

Irish literary and book club fiction. Think Claire Keegan, Louise Kennedy or Anne Griffin.

In commercial fiction she loves novels set during the Second World War, such as The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christi Lefteri or The Midwife of Auschwitz by Anna Stuart. Louise recently read and loved The Last List of Mabel Beaumont by Laura Pearson and would love to see anything in the same ‘older person going on a journey’ category, a more recent The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.
Louise had a lot of fun publishing a ‘pet fiction’ novel as an editor (Molly and the Cat Café) and would love to find an author who can write an Alfie the Doorstep Cat/Dog.

She has a soft spot for novels featuring time-travel or parallel universes, a ‘what if’ that plays around with conventions. At the literary end this would be books like Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes or This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. At the more commercial end Louise loved Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister, Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and Oona Out of Order by Martina Montimore. She also enjoys novels set in the real world but featuring a hefty dose of magic or the supernatural. They can be commercial or literary, present-day or historical. Think Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, Threadneedle by Cari Thomas, A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness or The Gifts by Liz Hyder. And also cosy fantasy in the vein of Legends and Lattes or The House in the Cerulean Sea.

Cosy or humorous crime. Recently, Louise absolutely loved Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans. When she was an editor Louise published the hit Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll and would love to represent incisive, intelligent suspense written by authors such as Jessica Knoll and Gillian Flynn, or something a little more subversive and blackly comic like My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite.
More generally, Louise would also love to see novels with a disabled protagonist or someone (like herself) who is living with an invisible disability. As an ex-primary school teacher, she also warmly welcomes submissions from teachers, especially if the submission falls into one of the other categories she has listed. Following-on from this, she enjoys reading stories that follow a ‘beating the system’ narrative.

Horror. Louise is currently really enjoying the horror resurgence and would love some more horror for her list. She is looking for all types of horror from the more literary, suspenseful horror along the lines of Andrew Michael Hurley to the more commercial like Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix. Louise is also a big fan of horror mash-ups, especially body transformation horror such as Nightbitch, and horror mixed with, say, vampires, in the vein of Hungerstone or The Lamb. She would also love to see some dark academia. Think If We Were Villains or In My Dreams I Hold a Knife, and is a huge fan of gothic horror, so would love to see something that’s a modern-day Shirley Jackson or Rebecca.

Louise is NOT looking for:
-romance
-romantasy
-epic, traditional fantasy
-space opera
-straightforward women’s fiction
-children’s fiction of any kind
-non-fiction

Louise would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Louise is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print).
