Level 3 Inspection & Testing!
Level 3 Award in Inspection & Testing is one of our electrical courses aimed at practicing electricians who have not carried out inspection and testing since qualifying or who require some update of training. The ability to carry out Inspection & Testing correctly is a tool that should be in most if not all electrician's toolboxes. Our level 3 course is 6-days in total and is completely theory-based; the courses aims to completely prepare you for the online and written exams that are necessary to complete this qualification. The exams will be taken here at our training centre in our designated exam room. The instructor will go through everything that you will be expected to know about Inspection and Testing on both new and existing installations...Today we will be looking at what aspects are covered in this intensive course.

Our Inspection & Testing courses are taught by expert instructors, who have years of experience from their time working out in the industry as electricians. They have also been teaching the topic for a long time and know how to get the information across effectively and in a manner that suits all skill levels. Whilst studying here it is important to engage with our instructors, the course is only 6-days so if there is anything you are unsure about, just ask! It's much easier to concentrate and ask for help than it is to repeat this course and the exams if you were to fail. We have a great pass rate for most of our electrical courses and this is down to the efforts of our instructors who not only have the knowledge but very much enjoy teaching and helping aspiring and experienced electricians to move forward in their careers.

Addition Information:
So...The course is 6-days in total, however, you will only be learning in a classroom setting for 5-days, complete online exams in the afternoon of the 5th and then you will be required to return for one day to undertake the practical task and the written assignment. Effectively this course can be completed in 6 days however, if you feel that you need to undertake some refresher training ahead of the practical task, you may wish to consider our 1 day practical Inspection & Testing course first.
