Frequently asked questions
Where do your PAT testing courses run?
We run the same one-day course at 21+ training venues across England, Scotland and Wales. Use the postcode finder above to locate your nearest venue, or browse the full venue list on this page.
Do I need to be an electrician?
No. You need training and to be assessed as competent — that’s exactly what this course does. It’s designed for people with little or no electrical experience, and our pass rates are excellent.
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.
What if I don’t have a PAT tester?
We’ll loan you one for the course, free of charge. If you have your own machine, bring it — we’ll teach you on the tester you’ll actually be using. Our trainers can also recommend the right machine for your needs.
What does the course cover?
Electrical safety, regulations and responsibilities, insulation and earthing, appliance classes I/II/III, how electrical dangers arise, earth leakage and run tests, load tests, and how to record results correctly — all following the IET Code of Practice 5th Edition.
How long is the course?
One day. Doors open shortly before the start and a typical day runs 9:30–4:30, finishing with an assessment. Your UKRS certificate follows within 7–10 days.
What if there’s no venue near me?
The same course runs live online via Zoom — a full tutor-led day, not self-study — or we can come to your premises with an on-site course, anywhere in the UK, on a date that suits you.
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.
