Our PAT training course - typical agenda
The course duration depends on number and ability of candidates, normally the course will last between 5 - 6 hours.
Our course is split between theory and practical, we have a strong emphasis on practical PAT testing and feel this suits most learners.
If you have your own PAT tester, the course will be bespoke to that PAT tester. If you do not have a PAT tester we will provide a selection for the training course. Enabling you to try a variety of PAT testers that are currently available, you will get a better understanding of what is most suitable for your business needs.
We deal with all PAT tester manufacturers: Seaward, Metrel, Kewtech, Robin, Fluke and more.
PAT training course Part one - The theory
• Why do we need to PAT test?
• Your legal obligations and need to PAT test.
• How to protect against blame culture
• The classes ( I, II, III)
• What is the definition of a portable appliance.
• Required visual inspection process of Plug, Cable & Case.
• Tests that are mandatory and optional
• Earth bond testing, Insulation testing, Load/Run tests, Leakage testing.
• How to conduct all tests safely and compliantly.
• How frequently you need to PAT test.
• How to record results and go through recommended forms.
• The common PAT testing mistakes and PAT testing house of horrors.
PAT course Part two - Practical PAT testing
Our practical session can be conducted with your PAT testers or of course we can supply loan testers at no extra cost for the course.
During the practical PAT testing session we will put into place all the previous learning. We will test all classes of equipment (I II III) and we will also test different voltage equipment.
As we conduct most of our training sessions at our clients sites, the candidates will be testing appliances in their environment with their tester, this reinforces the knowledge and is a major factor as to why this PAT training option is so successful and popular.
When the candidates feels confident and fully understands which tests are required, what they are testing for and what to do in the event of a pass or fail, we will conduct a practical competency assessment.
Upon successful completion of parts 1 & 2 candidates will be issued with a certificate in competency of PAT testing.
