The bulk of our courses are those leading to a formal City & Guilds qualification, namely C&G 2377, 2382-12, 2382-20, 2392-10, 2391-10, 2391-20 (formerly 2400), 2393-10, and the new 2399 ('Solar PV Installation') for which we are an approved City & Guilds centre, and have an above average success rate. For further details of our courses, please see below.

As well from those formal courses listed above, we are also able to deliver many short courses in the area of Basic Electrical Safety & Awareness. These are usually tailor made to suit individual customers requirements, and if required can be delivered "in-house".

The IET 17th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS:7671:2008)

 

This short course was originally developed to enable JIB registered electricians to become aware of the requirements of the then, 15th. Edition. Since that time, candidates other than JIB operatives have attended such courses, and it has now become a valuable qualification for all in the electrical industry and allied trades and professions. We consider this qualification a necessary entry requirement to the C&G 2391 and 2392  courses.

The program is of 24 hours duration, in which time the candidate will study all aspects of the Regulations including basic design procedures and the fundamentals of testing & inspection.  The final City & Guilds assessment is a two hour multiple choice on-line examination comprising 60 questions.

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

Please note: Course handouts will be provided, but candidates will be required to have their own copies of the 17th. Edition (BS7671:2008).

Inspection, Testing & Certification of Electrical Installations

 

This short course, developed by Brian Scaddan Associates on behalf of the City & Guilds and in association with the NICEIC, forms a useful bridge between the C&G 2382 (17th Edition) and the C&G 2391-20 (Design. Erection & Verification) courses.

During the course the candidate will need to:

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

2. Undertake a written assessment set by City & Guilds. Which comprises of a two part written paper of short answers and structured questions.         

Success in both practical and written components results in a C&G 2391-10 Inspection, Testing and Certification certificate, which may be used as an exemption from the testing component of the C&G 2391-20.

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

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

Please note: Course handouts will be provided, and although the final written assessment is ‘closed book’, candidates are advised to have their own copies of the17th Edition (BS7671:2008) and the IEE Guidance Note 3 on Inspection and testing.
