Accreditation
If you are unsure which module is the most appropriate starting point, our team will be happy to discuss your existing knowledge and recommend the best learning pathway.
Delegates who successfully complete Parts 2, 3 and 4 of the Mechanical to Electrical (M2E) Training Programme and pass the associated examination are eligible to achieve the City & Guilds accreditation.
MECHANICAL TO ELECTRICAL
Training Programme
Today's maintenance engineers are expected to work across increasingly complex mechanical and electrical systems. As manufacturing becomes more automated and businesses strive to improve equipment reliability, developing multi-skilled engineers has become a priority for many organisations.
MCP's Mechanical to Electrical (M2E) Training Programme has been designed specifically for mechanical engineers who want to develop practical electrical knowledge and maintenance skills in a structured, progressive way.
Delivered by experienced engineering professionals, the programme combines classroom learning with practical workshop exercises, giving delegates the confidence to apply their new skills safely and effectively in the workplace.
Whether you are developing an individual engineer or investing in the capability of your entire maintenance team, our four-part programme provides a clear pathway towards greater electrical competence.
M2E Conversion Programme
WHY ATTEND
Modern production facilities rely on integrated mechanical and electrical systems working together. As automation continues to increase, maintenance engineers are expected to diagnose faults, understand control systems and support equipment that combines both disciplines. Mechanical to Electrical (M2E) Training helps bridge the gap between mechanical experience and electrical competence, enabling engineers to develop the practical knowledge needed to work more effectively within today's maintenance teams.
Developing multi-skilled engineers can help organisations to:
» Improve engineering flexibility across departments and shifts.
» Respond more quickly to equipment breakdowns.
» Strengthen fault-finding and diagnostic capability.
» Reduce reliance on specialist contractors for routine maintenance activities.
» Improve collaboration between mechanical and electrical teams.
» Support succession planning and future workforce development.
» Increase confidence when working with electrical systems.
» Build a more resilient maintenance function capable of supporting modern manufacturing operations.
IS THIS PROGRAMME
Right for You?
The Mechanical to Electrical (M2E) Training Programme has been developed for organisations looking to broaden the skills of their maintenance teams and improve engineering capability.
It is particularly suitable for:
» Mechanical Maintenance Engineers
» Mechanical Fitters

Training Journey
FAQs
-
We recommend that most delegates begin with Part 1, as it provides a solid grounding in electrical principles, safe working practices and the core knowledge required throughout the rest of the programme. However, experienced engineers with existing electrical knowledge may be able to start at Part 2. If you are unsure, our team will be happy to advise on the most appropriate entry point.
-
Yes. Each module can be completed individually, allowing organisations and delegates to focus on specific development needs. However, many delegates choose to complete the full programme to build their knowledge progressively.
-
Delegates who successfully complete Parts 2, 3 and 4 of the Mechanical to Electrical (M2E) Training Programme are eligible to achieve the associated City & Guilds accreditation.
-
Yes. Every module combines classroom learning with practical workshop exercises, allowing delegates to apply their knowledge in realistic industrial maintenance scenarios.
-
Yes. The programme can be delivered at one of MCP's training centres or on-site at your own premises for groups of engineers.
