Each of our BS 7671 courses focus on a different aspect of the Wiring Regulations. Here’s a quick guide:

Course 218 – This is the best course for a general overview of the Wiring Regulations – from start to finish. This course also highlights the changes introduced in the latest Amendment.

Course 209 –This course looks at the process of inspection, testing and certification of new installations, additions and alterations. The focus is on Part 6 of the Wiring Regulations. This is the ideal course if you want to refresh your skills in this area.

Course 214 – The first part of the course covers the same material as course 209 (see above). However, in addition to looking at inspection and testing of new installations, the second day looks at periodic inspection and testing of existing installations including the electrical installation condition report (EICR) paperwork.

Course 208 – This course is ideal for those who want an in-depth look of the Wiring Regulations. The course also covers design of electrical installations, including cable sizing.
