PAT Testing Training in Greenwich, London.

Venue & Location: Greenwich

We’re delighted to announce a new venue for 2026 in Greenwich. The Novotel Greenwich is located right next to Greenwich Station and DLR — making it easy for delegates travelling by train or tube. It offers a modern, comfortable training space, with excellent facilities, coffee, lunch and refreshments included in the fee. Whether you’re commuting from London or further afield, it’s convenient and geared for a productive one-day session.

Why This Course?

All courses are NOT the same. We've been involved in the business of PAT Testing for nearly 40 years - our trainer, Tim James, has been teaching people to carry out PAT Testing for more than 30 years. When you book onto a PAT Testing Expert course, you will be learning from the industry expert - not just an expert in the field but a qualified teacher with many years of real world experience.

  • You’ll receive a certificate of competence on the day

  • We supply all course material, testing equipment and hands-on practical sessions. If you’ve already got a PAT tester, bring it along — we’ll show you how to get the best from it.

  • Lots of hands-on practical - get real world practice on a variety of industry standard PAT Test machines.

  • You’ll leave ready to conduct PAT testing in your own workplace or offer PAT testing as a service.

  • Tim James not only teaches but draws on decades of real-world field experience — not just theory.

  • Small group sizes ensure you get plenty of attention, and practical work is embedded throughout (not just a lecture).

  • We keep it straightforward: common-sense tools, focused training, real results!

  • Un-biased advice on the best machines to buy (keep it simple, don't spend a fortune)

  • Free record keeping templates available

  • Free follow on advice and information - call us if you get stuck!


Perfect For …

  • Facilities managers, estates teams, compliance officers, contractors or any persons responsible for health & safety.

  • Organisations looking to deliver PAT testing in-house rather than outsource.

  • Individuals wanting to start a PAT testing business or upgrade their current working practices.

  • People with no prior electrical qualification — the course starts from first principles.

Further Information About The Course

We try to make all of our courses 'fully inclusive' which means we provide all the course materials you need, including a PAT Testing manual, information about record keeping forms and certificates, and we also provide lunch and refreshments during the day. All this is included in the course fee! Please note that we do limit the number of people on each date to ensure that everybody benefits. Courses often fill up so book now to reserve your space!

The course is fully up to date with:-

  • Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
  • IET Code of Practice for In-Service and Inspection of Electrial Equipment (5th Edition 2020)
  • BS EN 50699 (2020)
  • BS EN 50678 (2020)
  • HSE Guidance and long standing industry practice!

Our trainer, Tim James, worked with the IET to update the latest edition of the Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment - bringing more than 30 years industry experience into the 'official' guidance, and of course bringing the latest industry and experience into the training.

You are welcome to bring your own PAT Tester with you on the day, or you can use ours! We always have a selection of industry standard PAT Testers for you to use on the day, and we can give you unbiased advice on which are the best machines to purchase.
