Courses

The 17TH Edition regulation is a complicated book to navigate. Our course is designed to make it that much easier by identifying relevant parts and appendices of the book and what they relate to.

Each section gives the electrician guidance on information needed to confirm the installation has been selected and erected correctly.

Following the new amendments which came into affect 1st January 2012, our tutors use the green book for classroom resources.  Copies of the green book are available free of charge for our candidates to use for the duration of the course.

Full courses are 3 full days or
1 evening a week over 8 weeks
 

It is the responsibility of all employers to ensure equipment used by staff is both safe and fit for purpose.

All portable appliances should be tested on a regular basis in order to minimise the danger of electric shock

The course is designed for people with a good relative knowledge of electrical equipment, and who understand the safety requirement of today's standards.

The course demonstrates to the candidate how to visually inspect and carry out relative meter tests in order to confirm that an appliance is in safe working order.

The new qualification for installation Electricians is the City and Guilds 2357 which combines the previous 2330 Electro-Technical Certificate with the 2356 NVQ.

This qualification is broken down into 10 units which are;

• Health and Safety
• Environmental legislation
• Overseeing the work environment
• Selection and planning an installation
• Preparing and installing an installation
• Terminating and connections
• Inspection, testing and commissioning
• Diagnosing and correcting faults
• Principles behind design
• Maintaining

Each unit will have an assessment, whether on-line multi-choice exam or written project and candidates will be guided through each one during the course.

Our course is designed for anyone, whether you work in the industry or not. Tutor led classes run during the evening or daytime are designed to take you through the underpinning knowledge requirement and workshop activities are included to equip you with the practical skills needed on the job.

There is an added requirement for on-site experience to complete the course. However, modules of the qualification which do not require actual experience can be achieved until site work can be gained.

Because the NVQ element is incorporated within the new course, there is no requirement to complete a separate NVQ to gain fully qualified status.

The course will be delivered between 12-18 months on a 1 evening a week or 1 full day every other week basis. Extra time will be required for workshop activities.

Payment by interest-free instalments can be spread throughout the course.
