Who is this PAT course aimed at?<\/h2>\n

This PAT testing course is aimed at individuals who have an electrical background and basic electrical knowledge – it is ideal for those who are responsible for the maintenance of electrical equipment and those undertaking practical Inspection and Testing of electrical equipment. PAT testing, also known as in-service Inspection and Testing of electrical equipment, provides additional revenue for many electricians. Whilst PAT testing is not a legal requirement, the law does state that employers must ensure portable electrics are maintained to prevent any risks and danger, the HSE recommends PAT Testing to maintain equipment.<\/p>\n

We also have a three-day PAT testing course<\/a> which is ideal for beginners with no experience.<\/p>\n

PAT Testing training allows them to learn, develop, and practice the skills required to Inspect and Test electrical equipment in line with the latest code of practice for in-service inspection and testing, covering PAT Testing requirements and regulations.<\/p>\n

Day one<\/strong> covers the theory of in-service Inspection and testing, referencing the code of practice
