About this course

Before any new electrical installation can be safely energised and handed over, it must be inspected and tested against BS7671. This course covers the full initial verification process — from visual inspection through to dead and live testing — and how to correctly complete an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC).

What you'll cover

Sequence of inspection and testing, test instruments and their safe use, continuity, insulation resistance and polarity testing, earth fault loop impedance, RCD testing, and correct completion of certification and schedules of test results.

Who it's for

Qualified electricians and those who hold, or are working towards, the 18th Edition qualification and need to formally verify new installation work.

This course is delivered and your enrolment is registered by the accredited training centre assigned to you (one of our approved partner centres) — not by Skillbridge Qualifications directly. We'll confirm which centre delivers your course before you register.
