Description
Who is this PAT course aimed at?
This PAT testing course is aimed at beginners who have little or no electrical knowledge or experience and are hoping to enter the electrical industry. This course is good for those who are responsible for the maintenance of electrical equipment and those undertaking practical Inspection and Testing of electrical equipment. PAT testing, also known as in-service Inspection and Testing of electrical equipment, provides additional revenue for many electricians – completing a course also allows facilities and office managers to conduct PAT testing in house.
