Solar Photovoltaic Systems – NOS Mapped (BPEC, Level 3)
This 4 day course has been mapped and designed to meet the National Occupational Standards for the installation of generally domestic sized photovoltaic systems that are currently available in the UK which are connected to a single phase, grid connected electrical supply under Engineering Recommendation G83/1.
Awareness is provided of connections to 3 phase supplies, but the course excludes any system installed under Engineering Recommendation G59/2.
Solar Thermal Hot Water System Installation and Maintenance (LCL, Level 3)
This 3 day course will enable candidates to select the most appropriate solar system for a building based on the client’s needs and to install and maintain any of the common systems in the UK safely and efficiently.
Upon completion of this course candidates will successfully be able to install, commission, decommission, service and solar thermal hot water systems.
This is a Level 3 qualification of 10 credits and 80 guided learning hours consisting of 5 mandatory units that comprise of practical and theoretical elements. ALL units must be achieved to achieve the overall qualification.
Safe Isolation of Low Voltage Electrical Systems Single and Three Phase
This 1 day course is designed for anyone who needs to perform safe electrical isolation in their work. It covers key sections of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (Regulations 3, 12, 13, 14, and 16) to ensure participants can meet the legal requirements and safely prevent injury and danger.
This is a one-day course with both a practical and a theory assessment. While a certificate of completion proves your understanding of the safe isolation process, it does not lead to a formal qualification. The certificate is valid for five years.
Electrical Energy Storage Systems (BPEC, Level 3)
This 2 day EESS course is specifically aimed at existing practicing electricians, electrical technicians, and engineers with experience of electrical installations, and associated inspection and testing and giving them the necessary training to upskill their existing skills to install EESS.
The course price quoted (above) includes assessment and certification and is VAT exempt.
The objective of this course is for learners to demonstrate they know and understand the
requirements for installing EESS. The learner will know the health and safety risks and regulations and standards relating to the installation, testing, and certification/handover of EESS systems.
18th Edition Wiring Regulations – BS7671:2018 (C&G, Level 3)
This 4 day course covers the 18th edition of the IET Wiring Regulations, which came into force in June 2018. These regulations are recognised by the British Standards Institute as a British Standard (BS7671) – amended March 2022.
This qualification is primarily aimed at practising electricians with relevant experience and other allied professionals e.g. surveyors, consultants and other trades needing to update and enhance their understanding of IET Wiring Regulations, It is also suitable for anyone of the IET 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS7671).
The IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) are the definitive standards for the electrical industry in respect of safe use and operation of electrical equipment and systems and set requirements and operating criteria for the UK and correspond to EC standards.
