Course Overview

This essential training course will teach you the fundamental requirements of the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations.

Based at our electrical training centre in Hull, you’ll study the latest requirements made under Amendment 3 of the Wiring Regs to ensure you’re fully compliant and working up to date.

This is a classroom-based training course with no practical elements; you will focus on learning and understanding the requirements of the regulations in the classroom, then be expected to take a multiple-choice examination at the end to confirm what you’ve learned during the training.

There are no formal entry requirements for this course; both new and existing electricians (or aspiring electricians) from the Hull area who are not yet qualified to Amendment 3 of the IET Wiring Regulations 17th edition should take this training course.

Note: if you already have a prior 17th edition course without Amendment 3, you are required to complete this course to remain in full compliance with regulations.

Suitability
