The new Testing and Inspection City & Guilds 2391-52 Combined Course qualification replaces and improves on the former 2394/2395 course that was previously available to electricians but has since been withdrawn.

The City & Guilds 2391-52 course runs over 12 evenings covering fundamental Electrical Theory, Initial Verification practical and revision and Periodic Inspection practical and revision.

This course is aimed at students possessing knowledge of the wiring regulations but who have minimal knowledge of inspection and testing.
