Overview
The Builder Training Centre (The BTC) offers high quality structured In-Service Inspection and Testing Courses (more commonly known as PAT Testing Courses). This can be attended as a 2-day course over consecutive weekdays.
Our instructors are qualified, highly experienced, knowledgeable and enthusiastic Tradespersons, so students can take full advantage of all the tips of the trade, personal experiences and practical advice they offer. This short course is intensive, but no compromise is made on the course content. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable which creates a good learning environment.
EET/PAT testing stands for “Electrical Equipment Testing” or “Portable Appliance Testing.” It is a process used to ensure the safety of electrical equipment, particularly portable appliances, in various settings such as workplaces, rental properties, and public venues. The purpose of EET/PAT testing is to identify any potential electrical faults or defects in these appliances that could pose a safety risk to users or occupants.
This City & Guilds 2377-77 (previously 2377-22 & 2377-32) electrical course is ideal for people who carry out, or intend to carry out, in-service inspection and testing (PAT Testing) of electrical equipment within a commercial environment, including Landlord rented properties, to ensure all electrical equipment is tested and certified as being safe for continued use. If you already work as an Electrician, this qualification will enable you to enhance your current service offering to a much wider audience within the electrical industry.
