This new qualification has been developed in order to meet the needs of the electrical contracting industry.

Objective:

• It is intended to provide candidates with an introduction to the fundamentals of inspection, testing and initial verification of electrical installations.
• It is aimed at practising electricians who have not carried out inspection and testing since qualifying or who require some update training.
• It is also suitable for those coming into the industry with limited experience of inspection and testing.

Candidates who achieve this qualification could progress onto the Certificate in Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations (2391-10).

This is very much a ‘hands-on' course. All underpinning knowledge requirements will be supported by frequent practical activities.

Assessment will be by:

• A multiple choice online test covering the underpinning knowledge relating to the fundamental inspection, testing and initial verification of electrical installations, as required by BS 7671:2008
• A practical test covering the range of inspections, tests, verification and recording of information and results for a new electrical installation, as required by BS 7671:2008

Entry Requirements:

There are no formal entry requirements for candidates undertaking this qualification. However, centres must ensure that candidates have the potential and opportunity to successfully gain the qualification. It would be expected that candidates have a basic knowledge and understanding of electrical science and principles.
