Course Overview

The 2Day PAT Testing Course (City & Guilds 237777) provides essential training in the inspection, testing, and maintenance of portable electrical appliances. This course is designed for professionals who require PAT certification but prefer a condensed 2day programme rather than the full 3day course.

Delegates will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to carry out safe and compliant portable appliance testing in line with the latest IET Code of Practice (5th Edition). The course covers key electrical principles, statutory requirements, equipment construction, inspection techniques, and the correct use of PAT testing instruments.

Ideal for electricians, maintenance staff, facilities personnel, and other professionals responsible for electrical safety, this course equips delegates with the confidence and competence to identify hazards, perform combined inspections and tests, and maintain accurate records for compliance.

Each delegate must bring a copy of the IET Code of Practice with them for the course & assessment.
