City & Guilds 2393 Level 3 Certificate in Building Regulations for Electrical Installations

Course review:

The government approved document P (electrical safety) came into affect on the 1st January 2005. For the first time the mainstream work of domestic electrical installers became subject to the requirements and procedures associated with Building Control.

Domestic electrical installers need to appreciate the requirements that apply to building work they carry out in connection with their electrical work, and they need to understand the way that Building Control works and the procedures that need to be followed.

The primary aim of this knowledge based level 3 qualifications (City & guilds 2393-10) is to enable practicing electricians and registered domestic installers operating within the domestic environment, to gain an understanding of how electrical installation in dwellings must comply with all relevant Building Regulations.

This qualification does not deal with how to meet the technical electrical requirements when carrying out such work within England & Wales (BS7671:2008:2011). This would be covered in detail studying the City & Guilds 2382-12 programme.

It is suitable for those working in the building trades and others who require a working knowledge of how electrical installation in dwellings can affect the building construction.

To summarize, the aim of this course is to:-

Meet the needs of candidates who work in the Building Services Engineering sector such as Electricians, who need to be able to demonstrate knowledge of the Building Regulations for electrical installations in dwellings and associated areas in England and Wales.
