Wiring regulations move on, and staying compliant with the latest edition of BS 7671 isn't optional for anyone working in the electrical trade. The City & Guilds 18th Edition 3-Day Course (2382-26) gives practising electricians and contractors a thorough, practical grounding in the current regulations, along with the confidence to apply them correctly on the job.
Because this course underpins so much of the rest of the electrical curriculum, it's often the first step before moving into more specialist territory. Electricians planning to branch into growing areas of the trade frequently follow this course with the City & Guilds (2919-01) EV Charging Point Installation Course (Domestic, Commercial & Industrial), since current wiring knowledge feeds directly into safe EV charging installation work.
Contractors looking to broaden their compliance offering also pair this course with City & Guilds PAT Testing 2377-77, building a wider range of services around a single, current regulatory foundation. Those working towards formal inspection and testing competence often progress onto the City & Guilds 2391 Inspection and Testing Course once their 18th Edition knowledge is confirmed, while allied professionals such as designers and contracts managers frequently take this course purely to keep pace with Electrical Inspection and Testing standards relevant to their own role.
Candidates should have existing knowledge of electrical installation and electrical science before attending, and all candidates must be over 16 years old.
