PAT Testing Course Croydon Overview

Our South London PAT Testing course is held at the Hilton London Croydon, a convenient venue for delegates travelling from Croydon, Sutton, Bromley, Mitcham, Wimbledon and across South London and Surrey. The hotel is easy to reach from the M25 and A23, and offers free parking, making it a popular choice for anyone looking for a PAT Testing training course in South London or the surrounding areas.

Many delegates also attend from Kent, Sussex and the wider South East, as the Croydon venue provides easy access by road and public transport.

Course Information

Our trainer, Tim James, has been involved in the business of PAT Testing for over 30 years, and is considered one of the UK's leading experts in the field. We usually run several courses each year at Croydon, so there is probably one coming up soon. This is a one-day, PAT Testing course, with lots of hands-on practical.

The PAT Testing training course is certificated, and we provide all of the materials and equipment for the course. However, if you have already purchased a PAT tester you are welcome to bring it with with you - we'll show you how to get the best from it. Otherwise we'll give you unbiased information about the best machines to buy!

The course starts right at the beginning - you do not need to be a qualified electrician to be good at PAT testing - all you need is a willingness to learn and a little common sense. 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.

We don't have un-named, inexperienced and unqualified trainers. All of our courses are taught by the same person - Tim James, who has been teaching people to carry out PAT Testing for more than 30 years - you will be learning from a seasoned pro and an expert!

The course covers all the relevant legislation, including the Electricity at Work regulations, but this is not 'death by PowerPoint!' We'll tell you everything you need to know, but not get bogged down in boring details. More importantly, you'll put into practice what you learn during the practical session - testing not just a couple of items but a whole range of different appliances, using a variety of industry standard PAT testing machines.

Course Highlights

  • Fully certificated PAT Testing training with a strong practical focus. The course is based around hands-on exercises and demonstrations rather than a formal written exam, so you gain real experience during the day.

  • All course materials included. You will receive a full-colour course handbook together with a practical workbook to use during the training, both of which you can keep for future reference.

  • No need to purchase additional books. Everything you need for the course is provided, including up-to-date guidance notes and example record forms.

  • Training updated to the latest standards. The course covers the current IET Code of Practice (5th Edition) together with the relevant British Standards including BS EN 50699 and BS EN 50678.

  • Comfortable, professional training venue. Our Croydon courses are held in a high-quality hotel conference room, with lunch and refreshments included in the course fee.

  • Taught by an experienced PAT Testing specialist. All courses are personally delivered by Tim James, who has over 30 years’ experience in the industry and is widely recognised as one of the UK’s leading PAT Testing trainers.

  • Suitable for beginners and experienced users. Whether you need to test equipment within your own organisation or want to offer PAT Testing as a service, the course is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence you need.

  • Ongoing support after the course. Delegates can contact us at any time for advice, and we regularly help past students with questions about testing procedures, equipment and record keeping.

  • Use professional PAT testers during the course. We provide a range of industry-standard machines for the practical sessions, and you are welcome to bring your own tester if you would like help learning how to use it correctly.

Course Venue - Hilton Croydon

Our PAT Testing course in Croydon is held at the fabulous Croydon Hilton. The hotel is easily accessible by car and public transport, and offers FREE parking for our delegates. Our course is not a lecture, but a practical based course which gives you vital experience in the subject. We limit the numbers on the course to ensure that everybody benefits from the day.

Who Attends Our Croydon PAT Testing Course?

Our Croydon PAT Testing course attracts delegates from across South London, Surrey and the South East. We regularly train electricians, maintenance engineers, landlords, caretakers, facilities managers, health & safety staff and small business owners who need to carry out PAT Testing as part of their work.

Because the venue is located in Croydon, we often have people attend from Sutton, Bromley, Wimbledon, Mitcham, Kingston, Redhill, Crawley, Guildford and surrounding areas. Many organisations based in South London choose this venue because it is easy to reach by road and offers convenient parking, which can be difficult to find at more central London locations.

Some delegates attend because they need to test equipment within their own workplace, while others are looking to start a PAT Testing business or add PAT Testing to their existing electrical or maintenance work. The course is suitable for beginners as well as those with previous experience, and the practical format ensures that everyone leaves confident and able to carry out PAT Testing safely and correctly.

Because numbers are limited on each course, everyone has plenty of opportunity to ask questions and gain hands-on experience using real PAT testers and a wide range of appliances.
