Basic Electrical

This three day course includes both theory and practical content and is relevant to those people who may be required to multi-task in the workplace e.g. those who carry out maintenance work.  Delegates will have an overview of current Electricity at Work Regulations and Approved Code of Practice and will be taught basic electrical tasks that they can carry out safely whilst being fully aware of their limitations.

Candidates who complete the course will be awarded with a Training Solutions (NI) Ltd certificate which will state all that was covered in the course.  It is important to point out that this is a ‘basic electrical’ training course and those who complete it will only be able to carry out basic electrical tasks and will know when it is necessary to employ the services of a competent electrician.
