This short course was developed to meet one of the various requirements for NICEIC Qualifying Supervisor status.

The course is 24 hours duration in which time the candidate will need to:

1. Undertake a three hour written assessment set by the City & Guilds. (10 Questions )

2. Complete a City & Guilds project which demonstrates the ability to design and consider erection methods for a typical installation.

3. Complete a practical assessment.

Success in all three components results in a full C&G Design, Erection & Verification certificate (ex 2400) whereas success in any one, only attracts a Record of Achievement for that component.

Courses will run subject to demand, and will be delivered one evening a week for 10 or 12 weeks.

It is not considered wise to undertake this course unless candidates have considerable knowledge of the Electrical Contracting Industry, and have attained C&G 17^th Edition and Inspection, Testing and Certification qualifications. However consideration, advice and guidance will be given to all interested applicants.

This short course is ideal for those operatives who have little practical experience of inspection and testing. The content is generally applicable to smaller installations and fulfills the requirements of Initial Verification.

It is also a useful pre-cursor to attendance on the full C&G 2391-10 course.

During the course the candidate will need to:

1. Show practical competence in the area of inspection, testing & certification.

2. Undertake a City & Guilds on-line examination comprising a 100 minute 50 question, multiple choice test.

Success in both components results in a C&G 2392-10 Fundamental Inspection and Testing certificate.

Courses will run subject to demand and will be delivered one day a week for five weeks.

It is not considered wise to undertake this course unless candidates have attained C&G  17^th Edition qualification. However, consideration, advice and guidance will be given to all interested applicants.

This is a short, 1 day or 3 evenings course developed for all operatives involved with electrical work in dwellings.

The aim is to allow candidates to gain a knowledge and understanding of how electrical installations must comply with all the relevant Building Regulations.

This is a useful addition to both 17^th Edition and Inspection and Testing qualifications and to an operatives CV.

The assessment is a 20 question, open book, on-line multiple-choice test based on the NICEIC / ECA and/or IET Electrical Installers guides to the Building Regulations. The course fee includes the provision of a copy of the NICEIC / ECA guide.

This short course is designed around the:

IEE Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment (3rd Edition).

The course covers the legislative and procedural requirements associated with equipment maintenance and with the technical approach to the testing itself.

The program is of 8 hours duration, in which time the candidate will study all aspects of the Code of Practice and undertake a short practical module. The final City & Guilds assessment is in the form of a multiple choice on-line examination, comprising 30 questions (1hr).

Depending on demand, the course can be delivered to suit individual or company requirements, but is usually conducted over one day, with the on-line assessment on the following day.

This five day course (1 day a week for 5weeks), is conducted in both classroom and practical ‘on roof’ environments.

Successful completion of this course will enable candidates to be in a position to apply for MCS registration.

The course covers the following topics;

·         Health and safety / working at heights

·         Environment technologies

·         Solar energy

·         PV components and systems

·         On-Grid and Off-Grid systems

·         System safety

·         PV calculations

·         MCS requirements

·         Theory and practical assessments

A light lunch is provided.

Candidates will be expected to have 17^th Edition (C&G 2382-12) and testing (C&G 2392-10 or 2391-10) qualifications.

Those wishing to register with the MCS will need to demonstrate their competence in paperwork/administration to the MCS assessor. We offer a Quality Management Skills (QMS) course for those who do not have such skills. (see our QMS course pamphlet).

Experience has shown that many PV installers wishing to become MCS registered have been rejected on their paperwork and administration skills which are deemed to be of considerable importance.

This one day Quality Management Skills course is designed to give candidates the knowledge and aptitude to complete the complex MCS paperwork.

Topics include:

·         Quality policy

·         Quality systems

·         Compliance

·         Design control

·         Document control

·         Receiving information

·         Production and measuring equipment

·         Quality control

·         Complaints

A light lunch is provided.
