According to C&G website it is for 16+, but it may be down to the course providers own requirements

If he does the City & Guilds 2357 apprenticeship, then he will be offered the chance to do the 17th as part of the 605 unit.

Well it does just say 'Requirements for Electrical Installations' on the front cover, but the college I did all mine at required minimum entry requirements.

Its a bit of a different one...he is waiting to begin an apprenticeship with SSE in September,but working for me at the moment. I would like to get him his 17th so he can keep the qualification. I'm happy to pay for an external provider, but think that his age could be a problem.

The way things are now , I don't think you will have any problem.
The college I went too was old school .(pardon the pun) All the old hierarchy have gone ,and a lot of the courses have been dropped.
My young mate did a preliminary course and the standards have changed , to say the least.
