The 2391-52 is a Level 3 qualification provided by city & guilds. This course is aimed at current practicing electricians and those with good electrical knowledge who want to expand their skills by carrying out inspection and testing of domestic and commercial installations.
We have prepared this 5 day course of comprehensive training to enable you to complete an online test in a Centre together with a practical assignment on a purpose built rig. On completion of this course, you will have the authority to certify not only your own work but of others in domestic, commercial and industrial situations.
Initial verification combined with Periodic Inspection & testing concludes the practice of condition reporting all electrical work, establishing the electrical system is efficient and safe. Professional skills and knowledge is required to understand the results and measurements to conclude a report, whilst understanding relevant legislation. This must be accompanied with the 18th Edition and Level 3 DEI course for the approval to join the competent person scheme. We advise there is plenty of previous training and experience of inspection and testing before undertaking this advanced course. If this is something you have interest in, but lack the experience needed there is a fundamentals course to supply essential knowledge prior to this. Take a look at the 2391 Fundamentals to support this course.
