Course Information:
This City & Guilds 2391-50 qualification prepares candidates for the initial verification of electrical installation work. It is aimed at practising electricians who have not carried out inspection and testing since qualifying, or who require training before going onto other City & Guilds qualifications.

The qualification is also suitable for those with limited experience of initial inspection of electrical installations, such as those entering the industry from other engineering disciplines or who have been working in allied trades and allows candidates progression to employment or to future City & Guilds qualifications such as the Level 3 Award in Periodic Inspection & Testing (2391-51), or Level 4 Award in the Design and Verification of Electrical Installations (2396).

Learner Requirements:
It would be expected that candidates have a basic knowledge and understanding of electrical science and principles and experience of electrical installation work either within the electrical contracting industry or an allied trade. (Age 18+)

Please note: There is limited practical training during this course, therefore we recommend that you attend our additional *practical assessment ‘practice’ day. The cost for this being £135.00 + VAT

Please note: If you also need to undertake the Periodic Inspection & Testing of Electrical Installations (2391-51), you can save time and money by undertaking the combined 2391-52 course, also six days.
