City & Guilds 2395 Level 3

Level 3 2395-01 - Periodic Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations

NEW! This City & Guilds qualification will replace an element which is currently part of the City & Guilds 2391 Inspection & Testing and will prepare candidates for the periodic inspection of electrical installation work.

This course is aimed at experienced electricians who wish to gain further knowledge and skills in the inspection, testing and certification of electrical installations and practising electricians who need refresher training.

It is not aimed at people with limited electrical qualifications or limited experience of inspection and testing.

The current City & Guilds 2391-10 - Certificate in Inspection, Testing and Verification of Electrical Installations has been replaced and divided into two qualifications:

• 2394-01 - Level 3 Award in the Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations

The new C&G 2394 covers inspection and testing of new work carried out in electrical installations, covering both single and three phase supplies.

• 2395-01 - Level 3 Award in the Periodic Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations

The new C&G 2395 is suited to anyone involved in the periodic inspection and testing of existing installations to ensure they remain safe and effective.
