Course information

This Level 3 Combined Initial Verification & Periodic Inspection training course (2391-52) covers legislation, principles and practices required for the verification of electrical installations in domestic and commercial settings, including testing, commissioning and certification. 

During the course, you will receive practical training, including work on:

  • Purpose-built electrical rigs; and 
  • Live equipment within a fully functioning plant room.

You will also cover theory relating to health & safety, industry regulations and best-practice.

At the end of day 5, you will complete a written multiple-choice assessment and three practical tasks.

Depending on individual requirements, we also offer two alternative training routes:

  • 2391-51 Periodic Inspection – suitable for operatives who have previously gained qualifications in Initial Verification and wish to expand their skills to include reporting on the condition of existing electrical installations.
