PAT Examination and Certification

If this assessment is successfully completed, learners will receive a Certificate of Competence in PAT Testing.

PAT Duration and Suitability

The PAT testing class lasts for one full day and runs from 9.00 to 16.00 and is suitable for anyone who would like to begin a career in the electrical industry, or those responsible for maintaining electrical appliances in a workplace.
