If you are a practicing electrician who wishes to carry out the inspection and testing of electrical installations then it is important that you have completed the appropriate training to ensure you have the required knowledge and skills to fulfil the role and comply with the current
BS 76:71:2018 standards.
By completing and passing the Initial and Periodic Inspection and Testing of Electrical Installations (2391-52) course you will be able to show employers/contractors that you are able to carry out the testing and inspection of new electrical systems safely and correctly.
A 2391 qualification is also required in order for you to gain your JIB Gold Card to show you are an approved electrician, a must have for many employers.
Adding this advanced skill can set you apart from others working in the industry and can open up further work opportunities and higher salary brackets. Some employers are paying £40,000 – £50,000 for qualified periodic inspection electricians.
Until July 2017 most people would take a combined 2394/2395 course to gain this qualification which required 1 online exam, 2 practical assessments and 2 written exams. This new qualification has made it much easier for people to achieve with only 1 online multiple choice exam, 1 written assignment and 1 practical assessment.
