Level 3 Award in the Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations

Note:   A candidate completing this training will be able to sit either the EAL assessment or C&G 2394 exam on a designated exam date.

Who should attend? 
This course is aimed at contractors looking to gain knowledge and practical understanding of the initial verification and certification of electrical systems.

There are no formal entry requirements to attend the course, however it is ideally suited to practicing electricians that have not carried out inspection and testing since qualifying, or who require an update before moving on to other electrical inspection qualifications. This course is not suitable for non-practicing electricians.

Work areas:
Single and three-phase - domestic, commercial and industrial.

What will I learn?
The course will give delegates the knowledge and practical skills required to complete Electrical Installation Certificates or Minor Works Certificates on electrical installations before putting them into service.

Delegates will also learn:

  • The legal responsibilities of an inspector
  • The reasons for electrical inspection
  • Practical testing techniques
  • How to complete Electrical Installation Certificates
