PAT Testing Course (Portable Appliance Testing)

Learn to Ensure Electrical Safety with the PAT Testing Course!

Electricity makes life easier, yet faulty equipment can turn risky fast. Each year in England, about 3,667 accidental fires start because of broken appliances or damaged leads. This is why businesses and landlords are expected to test their electrical items regularly. Our portable appliance testing course teaches you exactly how to do these important checks.

PAT stands for "Portable Appliance Testing". It means checking things that have a plug, like kettles, drills, and computers. Professional electricians and handymen charge money to do this.

Guidelines for Renewal: No Expiry

A PAT testing certificate doesn’t have a legal expiry date, so it stays valid. However, electrical rules and safety guidance can change, and the smart move is to refresh your knowledge every few years. A short refresher keeps you aligned with the latest standards and shows you’re still competent to test equipment safely.
