 OVERVIEW

A qualification aimed at practising electricians, who want to expand their career in to the In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment sector; colloquially referred to as PAT Testing. If you already work as an electrician it will add another string to your bow and can help you move up in the industry. This will help progress individuals within the Electrotechnical industry.  

The course is delivered to the latest 5th Edition of the Code of Practice PAT Testing (In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment). 

Increasingly being used by companies to bring PAT Testing in-house, by up-skilling their existing electrical staff. There is an assumption by City & Guilds that those sitting this course will have electrical knowledge, and the exam reflects this. Please note however, this does not cover in-house inspection and testing of equipment or appliances that are used for commercial gain hire purposes or medical equipment.

Please note that you will require  the Code of Practice book, which is available to purchase from SETA if you wish.
