N4 is the first of the three post-matric N-levels. On its own it is a stepping stone rather than an end qualification, so the most useful question is what to do next, especially now that N4 to N6 is being phased out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your options after N4 electrical<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Continue to N5 and N6 quickly.<\/strong> Engineering levels run by trimester, so N5 and N6 can take about eight months if you pass everything. Ask your college whether intakes remain for your programme.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Start collecting workplace experience.<\/strong> The electrical National N Diploma needs two years or 2,670 hours, and it all has to be completed by 30 June 2029.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Move towards a trade.<\/strong> Electrical N-subjects count towards the access requirements for trade tests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Look at occupational qualifications<\/strong> in electrical fields if your college has no further N-level intake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Work you can look for with N4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
