Online PAT Testing Course

Who is this online PAT Testing course aimed at?

This online PAT Testing course is aimed at beginners who are hoping to enter the electrical industry and gain knowledge on in-service inspection and testing. Those who are responsible for the maintenance of electrical equipment in the workplace would benefit from this course as it would allow them to PAT test electrical appliances in-house. The law states that employers must ensure portable electrics are maintained to prevent any potential hazards – the HSE recommends PAT Testing as a way to maintain this equipment.

For more practical, hands-on experience, we have in-person PAT Testing courses for those who already have electrical experience and basic knowledge, and for beginners.

What does this online PAT course cover?

This online course covers the requirements stated in the 5th Edition of the Code Of Practice – this has been extensively updated and includes requirements for managing and carrying out the in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment. Candidates will understand these requirements, be aware of legal requirements for the maintenance of electrical equipment, understand the scope and requirements for maintenance, be able to identify the classification of equipment and become familiar with the requirements of PAT Testing for users and formal visual inspection.
