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 theory only, short course is intended for those electrical operatives who construct, carry out inspection and testing of new installations and need a qualification to accompany their practical competence.

On completion of the course the candidate will:

1. Undertake a written assessment set by City & Guilds. Which comprises a
40 question multiple choice test and a 6 question written paper, 3 scenario based and 3 structured open questions.

2. Demonstrate practical competence in the area of initial inspection, testing &
certification, on test rigs and a 3 phase 400/230V simulated installation.

Success in both practical and written components results in a C&G 2394-01 Inspection, Testing and Certification certificate.

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

It is not considered wise for candidates to undertake this course unless they have experience in inspection and testing and have attained a C&G 2382-12, 17th Edition qualification. However, consideration, advice and guidance will be given to all interested applicants.

This short course is a replacement for, and an extension of, the original Level 3
2400/2391-20 schemes. It is now a Level 4 qualification.

The course duration is 30 hours, 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.

Success in both components results in a full C&G Design, Erection & Verification certificate whereas success in either 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 17th Edition and Inspection, Testing and Certification qualifications.
