Design and Verification of Electrical Installations

This level 4 qualification is aimed at electricians with experience across a wide range of electrical installations and with a thorough and detailed grasp of the Wiring Regulations and considerable experience of inspection and testing. It is a prestige qualification which is reflected in the challenging nature of the course and assessment.

This City & Guilds 2396 - Level 4 qualification in Design, Erection and Verification of Electrical Installations is an advanced course for those with solid experience in installing and commissioning electrical installations. This award is ideal for qualified electricians wishing to expand or update their professional knowledge and skills and it is intended for personnel in electrical contracting companies who have responsibility for the quality of the design, specification, installation and verification process. It addresses, in particular, the detailed implications of BS7671: Requirements for Electrical Installations. Good design is at the heart of reliable, safe and durable electrical installations and this qualification demonstrates that you have the knowledge to design and verify electrical systems to meet appropriate legislation.

The course is theory based over five days, however the learning continues beyond the classroom which covers detailed analysis of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) along with an intensive and progressive development of design procedures, including all the many calculations. The award is assessed via a three-hour written exam set by City & Guilds, which takes place on a separate evening a week or so after the course dates. Structured revision assistance is provided to get you up to speed. You will also need to complete a City & Guilds set design project, for which the minimum recommended time is 40 hours. This is carried out in your own time.
