Level 3 Award in Initial and Periodic Inspection and Testing of Electrical Installations (C&G 2391-52) (EAL 2625)

This course is designed for electricians who have some experience in the field but need to update their knowledge and skills to stay up-to-date with the latest regulations and practices. This is an advanced level course covering more complex topics and requires a higher level of understanding than a basic electrician training course.  

The course is a mixture of theory and practical assessment. This assessment will test your knowledge and skills in inspection and testing. We do not recommend that you take this course unless you already have a basic understanding of inspection and testing.

The course will cover the specific methods of inspecting and testing electrical installations of all types, including single-phase and three-phase, to the latest requirements of BS 7671. It will also cover the inspection and testing techniques as given in IET Guidance Note 3, and how to professionally complete electrical certification and reports.

This course will cover the following units:

✓ Completing the safe isolation of electric circuits and installations

✓ Requirements for Initial Verification and Periodic Inspection of electrical installations
