This course ensures you acquire a thorough understanding of the changes essential for undertaking both domestic and commercial electrical installation projects. 

This 3-day 18th edition Electrical course is designed to ensure that you gain a thorough understanding of the changes, rather than just an overview, and can fully reference the BS7671 amendment 2 'brown book'. This course is only suitable if you have attended an 18^th edition course previously and are required to complete the BS7671 2^nd amendment to stay up to date with the latest updates in the Electrical Industry.   

If you’re working within electrical installations, you should be working to the latest wiring regulations. All scheme providers such as NICEIC and Napit will require proof that you hold the most current wiring regulations certification when registering with an electrician certification scheme or an approved contractor scheme in the UK. This applies even if you have already completed a Level 3 NVQ. Anyone registering or applying for an ECS card, for the new ECS check system will require the latest 18th edition 2nd amendment. The 3-day 18th edition Electrical course will support you in achieving this.
