City & Guilds 2382-2392-2391

Additional Qualification Requirements for Existing Electricians and Domestic Installers

If you are looking to move forward within the Domestic Installer industry or as an Electrician, it is important that you remain up to date with all regulations and that you achieve the qualifications set by the industry.

We have been delivering Domestic and Commercial Electrical qualifications for some time now and we are frequently aware of the fact that not everyone is clear on what is required to progress or more importantly, which qualification comes first and what each one will allow you to do.

Whether you are working as a Domestic Installer or as an Electrician, the requirements to progress are similar to a certain point.

We have put together this discounted training package for those of you who are currently working within the respective industries but who are lacking in fulfilling the requirements set.

This Electrical training and assessment package consists of one level 2 qualifications and two at level 3:

City & Guilds 2382-10 – Certificate in the Requirements for Electrical Installation (BS 7671: January 2008)

City & Guilds 2392-10 – Certificate in Fundamental Inspection, Testing and Initial Verification

City & Guilds 2391-10 – Inspection, Testing & Certification of Electrical Installations to BS7671

These bolt on qualifications will ensure that you meet the standards required within the role you play and will enable you to progress to levels beyond that which you currently undertake.

This will require 13 days of training and assessment, a mix of practical and theory training culminating in On Line Multiple Choice exams, Practical Assessments and for good measure, a closed book written exam.

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.

We feel that this is an excellent introduction for anyone looking to invest in training and this option will help you decide if Able Skills is where you want to train.

Electrical Course 1:

City & Guilds 2382-10 – Certificate in the Requirements for Electrical Installation (BS 7671: January 2008)

The aim of this 3 day electrical training course is to ensure that delegates comply with the format, content and applications of the requirements for Electrical Installations (BS 7671: June 2008) 17th Edition Regulations.

This course is entirely classroom based; it introduces the regulations and covers their application through explanation and worked examples. The purposes, structure and content of the updated IEE On-Site Guide will also be covered and delegates will appreciate how to use this in support of the BS 7671.

Throughout this electrical course delegates will be prepared to sit the City and Guild 2382 multiple choice examination leading to the award of the Level 3 Certificate in the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS7671:2008, for successful candidates.

A basic understanding of electrical principles is essential in order to be successful on this course which is fast becoming industry standard.

As this is an open book exam, it is essential that you hold a copy of BS:7671 Requirements for Electrical Installation (IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition) and you may also find Exam Success IEE Wiring Regulations 2382-10 to be a useful addition.

Electrical Course 2:

City & Guilds 2392-10 – Certificate in Fundamental Inspection, Testing and Initial Verification

This qualification has been designed to help less experienced candidates obtain inspection, testing and initial verification experience before progressing onto the 2391-10 Level 3 Certificate in Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations.

Research has indicated the candidates that have achieved the 2392-10 will have on average, greater success in achieving the 2391.

This particular Electrical course is also suitable for practicing electricians who have not carried out inspection and testing since qualifying or who require some updated training before going onto achieve the City & Guilds 2391-10.

Testing and Inspection is often a difficult subject for even the most experienced of electricians. This 2392-10 Inspection and testing qualification, not only helps you to fully understand testing, it also provides you with a qualification and certificate to show you are competent to undertake the work. It's a very essential skill and qualification to have for anyone undertaking electrical installations.

Electrical Course 2: Content

During the course candidates learn how to carry out inspection and testing using various training rigs simulating real electrical installations, and are then given the opportunity to perform the inspection, testing and verification on an individual basis. All underpinning knowledge requirements will be supported by frequent practical activities.

Assessment will be by:

•    A multiple choice online test covering the underpinning knowledge relating to the fundamental inspection, testing and initial verification of electrical installations, as required by BS 7671:2008

AND

•    A practical test covering the range of inspections, tests, verification and recording of information and results for a new electrical installation, as required by BS 7671:2008

Electrical Course 3:

City & Guilds 2391-10 – Inspection, Testing & Certification of Electrical Installations to BS7671

This four day training course covers the requirements of BS 7671 for inspection, testing and certification and is designed to prepare candidates for both the written and practical examinations.

Candidates gain the skills and knowledge necessary to actually perform the inspection and testing procedures and are able to practice on purpose-built training rigs which simulate electrical installations.

As this course is aimed at qualified Electricians who have some experience of testing, the course is predominantly theory based and will cover:

•    Introduction to Inspection & Testing
•    Requirements of 17th Edition Wiring Regulations for inspection, testing and certification
•    Using Guidance Note 3
•    Inspection
•    Compliance with relevant legislation
•    Determine suitability of installations
•    Order of tests
•    Use of test equipment & testing procedures
•    Test result verification
•    Continuity of protective conductors
•    Insulation resistance tests
•    Polarity and Earth electrode tests
•    Earth fault loop impedance tests
•    RCD tests
•    Rarely used tests & IP ratings
•    Exam Preparation

The exam dates for this qualification are set by City & Guilds and we aim to provide this training to you as close to the exam date as is possible. Following this training course, you will undertake a written exam on a pre-designated date (2.5 hours and closed book) and this exam is externally marked.

Able Skills will be notified of your results (pass or fail) within 42 working days and if you are successful, we will arrange for you to return to Able Skills to undertake the second aspect of this award which is a 4 hour practical assessment.

Subject to availability of our Assessors and if preferred by the candidate, we can arrange for the practical aspect of this qualification to be completed before the written results are determined however, the full certificate for this qualification cannot be awarded until both aspects of this award have been completed successfully. This qualification will not provide unit accreditation if you are successful in only one exam/assessment.

Candidates are provided with course notes to guide them. We also recommend that you obtain a copy of:

•    IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition
•    IEE Onsite Guide
•    Guidance Note 3 Inspection & Testing

In addition, City & Guilds can provide details of The Chief Examiners’ Report. This has been introduced as a result of feedback from centres, to give them guidance in preparing candidates for the written examination but this may also be of use to those of you who have previously sat and been unsuccessful in the written aspect of this qualification.

On this page you will find the reports written by City & Guilds Chief Examiners, the first being for the December 2006 exam:

Summary

Whilst we feel that this collection of training and assessment is an excellent progression package for all of those working within the Electrical industry, we do not recommend attendance in a block booking.

Staff at Able Skills will be happy to provide you with guidance on the completion of these courses and will do so in order to provide you with the best possible chance of success.
