Who this course is for

This one-week course is for those who are already qualified electricians and those working in associated trades, such as electrical technicians, lift engineers, maintenance electricians and domestic installers, to ensure they are up-to-date with the latest regulations. The course is designed to give an insight into British Regulations in accordance with the British Standards third amendment 2018 to the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations which covers all UK electrical installations - industrial, commercial and domestic.
