This course has been designed to give practising electricians a better understanding in the use of test instruments as part of the certification or reporting process. The course provides a good starting point for those wishing to either refresh skills and knowledge or who want to progress onto a more in-depth inspection and testing training qualification.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is aimed at contractors who have started to complete testing as part of their role. There are no formal entry requirements to attend the course; however it is ideally suited to practicing electricians that have not carried out inspection and testing since qualifying. This course is not suitable for non-practicing electricians.
