Frequently Asked Questions

When will I receive my certificates?

As a training provider we do not directly issue certificates, we rely upon all assessments to go through an IQA process before the awarding body issues a certificate to us. We would then send this to delegate in the post. Those sitting a City & Guilds qualification should expect their certificate in roughly 4 weeks from course completion date.  

I'm not up to date with 18th edition wiring regulation can I still do this course?

Candidates must have an BS7671 18th edition qualification in order to participate in this course. We offer a 2 and 4 day training course which covers the 18th edition wiring regulations for those who need it.

The duration of the training depends upon previous experience and understanding of wiring regulations.

Can I do this course remotely?

An online version of this course is available for those who wish to do the course at their own pace rather than over a 2 day intensive course. Candidates would still be required to book and undertake their assessments within our Wakefield training centre.
