PAT Training Courses in the North East at Hilton Newcastle Gateshead, for Newcastle Upon Tyne, Durham, Sunderland and Gateshead

Spend one day with Tim James - one of the UK's leading authorities on PAT Testing - at the Hilton Newcastle Gateshead Hotel, and learn ALL you need to carry out PAT testing in your workplace, or as a PAT Testing service to others. PAT Testing is a really valuable skill to have, and you will be able to carry out PAT Testing in your own organisation, after attending this crucial one-day course.

Our trainer, Tim James, has been working in the field of PAT testing for over 30 years, and teaching people to carry out PAT testing for over 20 years. He's acknowledged as one of the UK's leading experts in the field of PAT testing. He can teach you! Tim was a part of the IET committee that produced the 5th Edition Code of Practice (regarded as the 'official' guide to PAT Testing in the UK) but also includes the latest information from the HSE and the two new British Standards in the course. The information you'll get in this course is the most up-to-date possible, but it's presented in an easy to understand way - no complicated formulas or hard science, but just the right information you need to be able to carry out PAT Testing after the course. There's lot of hands-on practical on the course so you can put into practice straight away what you've learned.

We run regular one-day practical PAT testing courses at the fabulous Hilton Newcastle Gateshead. This course is ideal if you live in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Sunderland, Teesside, Tyne & Wear, Northumberland, Durham, Tyneside, Gateshead, South Shields and Jarrow.

Car Parking is available on site and there are regular buses from all over the North East.The course lasts for one day, and you will learn all you need to carry out PAT Testing. You should attend the course if you want to save money for your employer, or if you want to start a business (or sideline) doing PAT testing for other people.

We will provide you with all of the information you need to get started, including information on the best equipment to use and loads of valuable hints and tips to save you time. If you have more than 5 people to train, you may find it cheaper to organise an in-house pat testing course (at your premises) or we can arrange a special date for you at this hotel, or another nearby. Contact us for more information.

You do not need to be a qualified electrician to carry out PAT Testing - in fact, our course starts right at the beginning. As long as you have a willingness to learn and a healthy dose of common sense, you'll be fine! You'll learn everything you need to know on the day, but if you need any more information, please check out the PAT Testing Course FAQ page.
