PAT Competent Person Course
£234.00 (£195 +VAT)
Our PAT Competent Person course is based on the IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing. The course equips participants with the necessary practical skills and technical knowledge needed to be a competent person for Portable Appliance Testing. We focus on hands-on learning and make use of practical examples wherever possible to cover the syllabus. We deliberately keep our class sizes small, allowing students to ask questions and receive individual guidance from our experienced instructors. Following the course, students will be able to inspect and test all electrical equipment commonly found in the workplace, from office equipment to power tools.
This course is CPD accredited and students will receive a certificate of competence upon successful completion of a practical assessment. We provide all the necessary equipment for use during the course, but participants are also welcome to bring their own PAT test equipment for a more customised learning experience. This beginner-friendly course is ideal for anyone looking to carry out the inspection and testing of electrical equipment within the workplace, no prior electrical experience or qualifications are required.
