City & Guilds 2391-50 Level 3 Award in the Initial Verification of Electrical Installations.

This qualification is designed as a bridge between the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations course and the Level 3 Award in Periodic Inspection and Testing course.


It is based upon the Inspection, Testing and Certification of new or modified electrical installations. (Those installations requiring an Electrical Installation Certificate or a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate).

It is aimed at practising electricians who have not carried out inspection and testing since qualifying or who require some update training before going on to achieve the Periodic Inspection Award.
