Inspection and Testing

Any work that has been carried out on an electrical installation will have to meet the British standards according to the BS7671 wiring regulations (18th edition). To ensure this can be achieved a planned, organised and complete method of the inspection and testing of the installation will have to be undertaken by the electrician.

This is where we come in! We deliver the  City & Guilds 2391-52 course and this has been designed to give you the theoretical and practical knowledge to perform each aspect of the process confidently.

This course caters for those people working in the electrical industry and have good technical skills, knowledge and experience of inspecting and testing electrical installations. Currently, this 2391 qualification is a requirement for those who want to gain a JIB grading as an approved electrician. Therefore, they are essential for those who wish to further develop their knowledge and practical skills or gain/update their formal qualifications that are both recognised and highly regarded within the industry.
