Download Course FactsheetKeep your electrical knowledge up to date with our City & Guilds 2382-26 18th Edition Amendment 4 Update Course.
This one-day course is designed for electricians and other electrical professionals who need to understand the latest changes introduced in BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 (18th Edition Wiring Regulations). Rather than repeating the full 18th Edition qualification, this focused update course covers the key changes introduced by Amendment 4, helping you stay compliant with the latest Wiring Regulations.
Entry Requirements / Suitability
This course is designed for electricians and other electrical professionals who already hold a City & Guilds 18th Edition Wiring Regulations qualification and need to update their knowledge in line with BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 (Amendment 4).
You do not need to have completed separate Amendment 2 or Amendment 3 update courses before attending. However, as the City & Guilds 2382-26 assessment covers the full 18th Edition syllabus, this course is intended for learners who already have a solid understanding of the current Wiring Regulations.
To attend this course, you should:
- Hold a City & Guilds 2382-18 or 2382-22 qualification
- Have a good working knowledge of the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, including Amendments 2 and 3
- Be looking to update your knowledge in line with BS 7671:2018+A4:2026
If you do not already hold an 18th Edition qualification, we recommend enrolling on the full City & Guilds 2382-26 18th Edition Wiring Regulations Course instead.
