Part P with City & Guilds 2382-2392

Part P with City & Guilds. Able Skills has put together a package of various Electrical training courses and qualifications for those of you looking to enter the Domestic Installer industry and be taken from a complete beginner to a level which will see you not only competent in your own electrical installation abilities but will also provide you with a qualification to declare your understanding of practical instrument testing.

The Part P requirement is that “Reasonable provision shall be made in the design and installation of electrical installations in order to protect persons operating, maintaining or altering the installations from fire or injury.”

Part P was introduced to ensure that domestic electrical installations are safe. Part P applies to fixed electrical installations in dwellings (including gardens and shared amenities in blocks of flats) and affects many of the typical jobs undertaken by electrical contractors, particularly work carried out in kitchens and bathrooms.

Work affected by Part P is subject to notification to, and inspection by, building control bodies. However, calling in a building control officer takes time and costs money.

Self-certification by domestic electrical installers eradicates the need to call in Building Control officers which should save both time and money. A registered installer will have been independently assessed and certified as being competent to undertake the work in question, providing the customer with peace of mind.

A registered installer will provide the details of the work he has undertaken to a scheme provider who will in turn issue a building compliance certificate to the householder.

Able Skills is constantly looking to offer as much as is possible in the way of Electrical training to everyone regardless of their background, age or experience and we are constantly devising discounted Electrical training packages to try and cater for everyone.

This package of electrical training will also benefit those of you who are eventually looking to undertake City & Guilds 2391 (Inspection and Testing of Electrical Installations) which ultimately will allow you to be able to test the installations of others.

The Building Regulations are managed by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). Part P document download.

Electrical Qualifications Available

This package comprises of 5 Electrical Courses, assessments and examinations will see you taken through a variety of practical tasks to ascertain your installation competencies and lead you towards:

1.    Able Skills Introductory to Electrics
2.    Part P qualifications at level 2,
3.    level 3 City & Guilds qualifications (2382)
4.    level 2 City & Guilds (2392)

This Electrical training package can be broken down into 4 separate training blocks, starting with our 5 day Introductory Electrical course.

This 5 day Electrical course has been put together by our Electricians to cover the practical elements of domestic installations but at the same time is devised with Part P in mind and so you will always be guided towards what work you can and cannot undertake in a domestic dwelling.

The second aspect of this Electrical package will be the Domestic Installer qualification: EAL VRQ Level 2. This Electrical course is a mixture of practical and theory assessments and will take you through various modules.

As you go through the week you are guided through the Building Regulations then assessed at the end of the week by a multiple choice exam.

The third part of this Electrical package is City & Guilds 2382:17th Edition wiring regulations. Undertaking this electrical qualification is a requirement of any Part P Competent Persons Scheme that you choose to register with.

Obtaining this qualification proves to your scheme provider that you have progressed with your understanding of electrical installations and that you have gained familiarity with the layout, content and application of the BS 7671 (2008) 17th Regulations Edition.

Finally, City and Guilds 2392-10 is a level 2 City & Guilds qualification which is specifically aimed at electricians and others who have limited or no experience in the use of test instruments. The course is structured and designed to prepare candidates who wish to go on to achieve the City & Guilds Level 3 Certificate 2391-10.

Our electrical instructors have a vast knowledge of both domestic and commercial electrics having spent years working out on site within the electrical industry and now find themselves in teaching roles.

There is frequently change in Electrical regulations and requirements and on occasion, the introduction of new or altered qualifications to support individuals knowledge of electrics.

As a Training Centre we strive to stay up to date with the changes and we ensure that all of our electrical instructors undergo any updates to qualifications themselves. This enables the accurate delivery of skills and knowledge to all candidates. Please feel free to view our staff page to get a feel for the level of competent staff we have here.
