PORTABLE APPLIANCE TESTING (PAT) TRAINING COURSE

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that any electrical equipment with the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a vital method to ensure this safety. Since faulty electronics are a leading cause of fires and electrocution, understanding how to check equipment is an essential prevention skill. This course teaches you how to carry out tests on personal and work appliances, identify different electronic categories, and master the necessary testing equipment as stated in the IEE Code of Practice. You will learn to identify Class I and Class II appliances, understand modes of electrical or thermal damage, and troubleshoot common safety issues to ensure repeatable results without damaging equipment.
