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 Part P Governing body, they will be able to work safely, efficiently and legally on electrical equipment.
With the introduction to a change in the building regulations came the need by law, for most electrical work in domestic dwellings to 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.
Persons registered with the Part P Self-Certification Schemes will be qualified 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.
We have devised this combined package to provide the minimum requirements for Part P registration, if you would like to learn more and gain additional relevant qualifications, please visit Part P for Beginners or Part P Package with C&G 2392
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 by way of a 5 day training course.
We have devised this practical Electrical course for those of you wishing to learn electrics to become a Domestic Installer, but who have little prior knowledge or experience of domestic electrical installation and wiring of circuits.
This course covers all the commonly used domestic wiring circuits in use today. It is designed to make you familiar with the installation of different types of circuits, including practical construction and inspection and testing of all circuits built.
During these 5 days of training, we will cover everything you need to know to move forward and complete electrical work in and around the home once you have registered for Part P.
After having undertaken the appropriate Introductory Electrical Course you will then be completely prepared to move onto the Domestic Electrical Installer Qualification.
Most individuals whether they be new entrants, time served electricians or those who now do electrical work as a small part of their activities opt for this course. The EAL Domestic Installer Scheme for Part P is a modular qualification comprising of 9 Units.
This will lead to a VRQ qualification: Domestic Electrical Installer. Within this qualification you will gain under pinning knowledge for Part P.
Able Skills is open 7 days every week and we welcome visitors at all times. Please feel free to come along to view our facilities, have an informal chat with any one of our instructors and meet existing students.
