Do I Still Need to Take the 2382-22 Course?

In April 2026, IET’s 18th Edition Wiring Regulations were updated to include Amendment 4. As such, our City & Guilds 2382-22 course, which included Amendment 3, has been superseded by this 2382-26 course, which covers the latest updates from Amendment 4 as well as all the material from the previous syllabus.

Consequently, you do not need to take the 2382-22. Instead, to remain compliant with latest IET 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, you should enrol on a City & Guilds 2382-26 training programme.
