18th Edition Courses Tunbridge Wells | City & Guilds 2382-26 Courses

Anyone working within the electrical sector should have sound, working knowledge of the IET’s 18th Edition Wiring Regulations. It is the British standard for the installation of electrical wiring and is one of the most important qualifications for an electrician. If you do not have sound knowledge, you may run the risk of not meeting current guidelines and standards which could, in turn, mean your installations are unsafe. The 18th Edition qualification is recognised across the UK by all electrical companies and generally requires this as a qualification for you to carry out work for them or to be hired by them.

The Tunbridge Wells 18th edition course is taught by experienced, professional tutors and is City and Guilds accredited.

During the course, you will learn about each section of the IET Wiring Regulations, complete with full guidance from our tutors to help you prepare for the online exam taken at the end of the course.
