Combined Courses for Electrical Part P by Able Skills

electrical courseelectrical course

Able Skills has devised various training packages to cover the requirements of domestic installation and at the end the courses, students will have a sufficient level of competence so that once registered with a relevant body, they will be able to work safely, efficiently and legally on electrical equipment.

With the introduction to a change in the building regulations, most electrical work in houses must by law, be notified to the local authority building control. The exception to this is where the work is undertaken by a competent person who is a member of a Governing body and is registered onto a Part P Scheme.

A competent person is someone who is approved by one of the governing bodies approved by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, this is known as the Part P Scheme; the scheme does require that you can prove competency, and upon registering onto a scheme, you will be assessed by the governing body you choose. To register onto a Part P scheme you are required to have knowledge of domestic installation and a relevant qualification which determines that you are competent and able to safely work on electrical equipment in the home. Persons registered with the Part P Self-Certification Schemes will be qualified contractors with the ability to thoroughly check a circuit for safety. They are required to issue an Electrical Installation Certificate that complies with Building Regulation requirements when the work has been completed.

Practical Training for Part P

In order to reach your full potential and fully meet the requirements of the Part P scheme, practical abilities will be required to be updated and an understanding of terminology and basic electrical theory demonstrated. Whether you have a non electrical background or have limited electrical knowledge, we can provide the required training to bring you up to speed. We offer a 5 day Introductory Electrical Course for those of you with limited electrical knowledge and a 2 day Introductory Electrical Course for those of you who have been working in or around the industry and who have a fair idea.
