Essential Electrical Course

Who is this qualification for?

The Essential Electrical Course is ideal for beginners who are looking to get into electrical work; it is also open to those who wish to add electrical knowledge to their range of existing skills. The course is designed to cater for those with absolutely no knowledge of the subject, although we can also train those with more advanced levels of knowledge who simply need the qualifications to prove their existing skills.

Qualifications

Our basic electrical training course consists of the following qualifications:

1. Part P Domestic Installer – Covers the installation and maintenance of lighting, sockets, cooker circuits and consumer units. You will also learn how to certify domestic installations such as full house re-wires.
2. C&G 17th Edition Electrical Regs – This qualification will prove that you have a good working knowledge of the current wiring regulations.

Units covered

The qualifications shown above are wide-ranging and cover numerous areas that you will need to know when working on electrical installations in domestic properties. Here are some examples of the units you will cover during your electrical course:

• Applicable Building Regulations for Domestic Electrical Installation
• Electrical Safety Legislation, Regulations and Standards
• Identifying Unsafe Electrical Situations
• Domestic Electrical Earthing and Bonding Requirements
• Installing and Replacing Electrical Components
• Checking the Correct and Safe Operation of Installed Electrical Components
• Domestic Electrical Installation in Special Locations
• Understanding of New Domestic Electrical Circuit Requirements
• Installing Domestic Lighting Circuits

Progressing further

This course will provide you with the essential skills and knowledge needed to work with domestic electrics, but there are more advanced progression routes that you may wish to opt for during or after your training. These more advanced options will further your abilities and allow you to complete further, more advanced types of work that are not covered in the scope of the Essential course.

The most advantageous route for a person to take following this course is to attend the City & Guilds 2392 Fundamental Inspection & Testing course. This is a City & Guilds-accredited qualification that will allow you to inspect and test new circuits on existing electrical installations, as well as completing new installations.

Ultimately, the City & Guilds 2395 Periodic Inspection & Testing certificate is what many aim to achieve, as this crucial qualification covers the inspection and testing of circuits on existing installations, as well as issuing safety reports and recommending any additional work that’s required.
