Pat Testing Course FAQs
How many people do you allow on the course?
We allow a maximum of 8 people on any of our 1 day Pat courses. We keep to this low number so that everyone gets the individual attention they deserve. Some companies accept 10 � 15 people which we believe is unacceptable.
What type of certificate will I receive?
Upon successful completion of the multiple choice exam you will receive a Certificate of Competence in In Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. Our courses are based on the IEE Code of Practice.

Yes. There is a 20 question multiple choice exam with no time limit. Our success rate is excellent and we rarely have people who fail the course.
Do I need to have a refresher course every year?
