What is ‘PAT Testing’?
Officially, ‘PAT Testing’ doesn’t exist. The correct name is ‘In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment’.
Whatever you want to call it, it involves ensuring electrical equipment provided in a workplace is safe to use. Similar to an MOT for a vehicle.
Through a series of activities we can determine if the electrical equipment in question is safe to use… therefore meeting our duty of care.
Who can ‘PAT Test’?
Unlike in many industries, formal training to carry out the ‘PAT Testing’ role isn’t actually required. However, anyone undertaking the role has to be able to display a good level of competency.
If there was an incident, there could be an investigation. If the person carrying out the role was found to be incompetent, they and their employer could be found to be negligent and responsible for the injury or damaged caused.
What do I need?
The main attribute you need is commonsense. We can teach the technical aspects, but without commonsense it’s pointless. To carry out the role to the correct standard you will need:
-
- attention to detail
- be methodical
- be able to follow a list of instructions
- have a good level of English
- have an understanding of basic mathematics
- a technical background always helps
- good colour vision i.e. not colourblind
Things you need to consider…
Where will the course be delivered, at your premises (if it’s within 2 hours of our base at S80 2FT) or at our offices in Worksop?
We can train up to 12 people at your site, assuming you have a large enough training room, or up to 12 in the training suites at our offices
Do you have a room we can use which is large enough and quiet enough… with some elbow room, tables for us to use, a 230V mains electrical supply and refreshments for the delegates
From £229.00 +VAT
Price is for 1 delegate
(Add more delegates for £100.00 +VAT each)
Sometimes it’s not possible to deliver a course at your premises, as there isn’t a suitable room we could use. Or maybe you only want a small number of people training. In this case, we would invite you to our offices in Worksop where we would deliver the same course, but at our place – not yours.
Our fully equipped training rooms enable us to create informative and varied courses in a modern environment.

This often makes people more relaxed and helps them reach the required standard.
