InTuition carry out PAT Testing Courses at several venues nationwide or we can train your staff at your premises. Our PAT Testing Course enables candidates to become competent PAT Testers in just one day.
The course covers all legal requirements and includes over 3 hours of practical sessions. Candidates can inspect and PAT Test a wide variety of portable electrical appliances including domestic equipment, power tools, office and IT equipment, and IEC leads, using many different models of PAT Tester, or they can even bring their own. A certificate is issued to successful candidates.
InTuition only accept up to 10 candidates on each course (unlike some other training companies where up to 20 are the norm) which enables us to give attention to individuals. We also provide a PAT Tester for every candidate to use, unlike other courses where 2 or 3 may share a machine.
To book a place on a PAT Testing Course simply go to our Book a Course page and do it online.
We will email back your confirmation of booking.
Why PAT Test?
PAT Testing or
Portable Appliance Testing is the testing of electrical appliances to ensure
they are safe to operate. Health and Safety regulations state that when
people work with electrical appliances, the appliance must be safe.
Why
attend our PAT Testing Course?
Being
able to carry out PAT Testing for yourself can save your organisation time
and money. You can also avoid disruption to your business by PAT Testing at
a time that's convenient to you. An InTuition PAT
Testing Course will allow you to become a PAT Tester in just one day. You
can save money, or even set up your own PAT Testing
business. You could earn the cost of the course back in your first
day's testing! All of our Instructors are experienced trainers and
hold City & Guilds Qualifications. All are CRB checked as they are
often required to work in schools, retirement homes etc.
What
do I need?
Our one-day PAT
Testing courses are designed to give you all the skills you need to
become a fully competent PAT Testing technician. After attending the
InTuition PAT Testing course, successful candidates will receive a
certificate of competence along with all the knowledge needed to confidently
begin PAT Testing for real.
No previous knowledge of PAT Testing is required as the training courses are
fully comprehensive. They cover everything from electrical principles,
classification of equipment, relevant legislation, and how to carry out all
types of tests using various PAT equipment.
The PAT Testing courses are suitable for beginners, with only a basic
electrical knowledge, or as a refresher for those already working in the PAT
Testing field.
We provide a wide range of PAT Testing Equipment for delegates to use during the PAT
Testing course. Delegates are also welcome to bring their own.
Unlike some other courses, that teach only lots of theory, at Intuition we concentrate on giving our candidates a wide range of practical experience.
