City & Guilds 2395-01 Award in the Periodic Inspection, Testing & Certification of Electrical Installations

Course review:

The course is primarily aimed at electricians with previous experience of inspection and testing and a good working knowledge of BS7671:2008(2011) 17th Edition Wiring Regulations. It is strongly advised that all candidates have successfully completed City & Guilds 2382-12 first and are working within the industry along with experience of inspection and testing within both commercial and industrial premises. Candidates who do not have this experience/knowledge are advised to consider the new City & Guilds 2394 Level 3 Initial Verification Course first.

This qualification is intended for experienced personnel working in the electrical industry. Although City & Guilds does not state formal candidate entry requirements, the qualification is not intended for non-qualified electricians and/or those who do not have experience in inspecting, testing and certifying electrical installations. The Level 3 Certificate in inspection, testing and certification of electrical installations has been developed in association with the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) and will satisfy the NICEIC's particular requirement that proposed Qualified Supervisors (PQSs) and operatives are conversant with the requirements of BS 7671 for inspection, testing and certification of electrical installations.
