The Electacourse Online PAT Testing Course follows the recommendations of the IEE Code of Practice. A person undertaking PAT testing must comply with this and have an understanding of the modes of electrical, mechanical or thermal damage to electrical equipment and appliances and their flexes which may be encountered in a work environment.
The course includes training to understand the identification of equipment and appliance types and to determine the test procedures and frequency of inspection and testing. Included is an introduction to the test instruments used and critically, understanding how to manage and assess risk associated with electrical equipment and appliances.

At the end of the course you can practice your understanding with hundreds of questions from our database and take an online certificate test.
