Good to know
Frequently asked questions
What is PAT testing?
Portable Appliance Testing is a systematic approach to making sure portable electrical appliances are safe for continued use. A competent, trained person decides whether each item is safe using a mix of inspection and instrument tests.
Do I need to be an electrician?
No. You need training and to be assessed as competent — that's exactly what this course does. Most people can become a PAT tester after completing it.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes — every successful learner receives a UKRS-accredited Certificate of Competence from TTS, recognised UK-wide. It follows within 7–10 days of passing.
Do you offer a self-study online course?
We don't — PAT testing is a practical skill, and we don't think self-study does it justice. Our live Zoom course is a full tutor-led day with practical elements included: the best of both worlds.
What areas do you cover for on-site training?
Anywhere. We regularly run courses at client sites across England, Scotland and Wales, and we've delivered courses in Europe for some customers too.
How do I choose a good PAT course?
Any PAT course worth doing follows the IET Code of Practice (currently 5th Edition). Plenty of providers claim to be "PAT experts" — always check the course actually follows the Code.
What is PAT tester calibration?
Your PAT tester measures resistance and current, so it needs checking at suitable intervals — most manufacturers and the IET Code say annually. We can arrange calibration for you.
Is it PAT testing or PAC testing?
A common mix-up — it's PAT testing: Portable Appliance Testing.
Reviews
What our delegates say
★★★★★
"Can't praise the course content and the trainer, Ian, enough. For my level of experience it was delivered at the perfect pace — enough technical learning to inform but not overwhelm. Worth every penny, and I feel infinitely more confident about my business' PAT testing capabilities."
★★★★★
"Having spent the last three decades as a lecturer in electrical engineering at Manchester University, I've heard a very large number of presentations and been on a lot of short courses. How did yours compare? Well, I think it was very good, well structured, easy to follow and very informative. Definitely in the top class!"
