PRACTICAL TRAINING
Experience
Practical skills form an important part of the City & Guilds 2391-52 course.
Delegates apply the principles covered during training to the inspection and testing of electrical installations, developing experience of the procedures required both before installations are placed into service and when assessing existing installations.
This includes safely carrying out inspection and testing, interpreting test results and completing the appropriate electrical certification and condition-reporting documentation.
The combination of underpinning knowledge and practical application helps delegates develop a structured approach to advanced electrical inspection and testing.

ADVANCED ELECTRICAL
Inspection & Testing Training
Electrical installations must be inspected and tested correctly to help ensure they remain safe and meet the appropriate regulatory requirements.
MCP Technical Training's City & Guilds 2391-52 Inspection & Testing Level 3 course develops the knowledge and practical skills required to carry out initial verification and periodic inspection and testing of electrical installations.
Designed for technicians and maintenance teams with current BS 7671 knowledge, the course has been developed around IET standards, statutory regulations and City & Guilds requirements for maintenance electricians.
Delegates develop their understanding of safe isolation, inspection, testing and commissioning, interpreting test results and completing the appropriate electrical certification and condition reports.
The course combines the requirements for initial verification and periodic inspection and testing, providing a comprehensive route for those looking to develop advanced electrical inspection and testing capability.
Advanced Inspection & Testing Skills
WHY LEARN
The City & Guilds 2391-52 course develops the knowledge and practical skills required to carry out inspection and testing and produce condition reports on existing electrical installations.
Unlike training focused solely on initial verification, the course brings together two important areas of electrical inspection and testing.
Delegates develop their knowledge of the requirements for inspecting and testing electrical installations before they are placed into service, as well as the requirements for periodic inspection and testing of existing installations.
This includes understanding the differences between initial verification and periodic inspection, safely testing electrical installations, interpreting results and completing the appropriate certification and supporting documentation.
