This course has gained EAL approval. Upon successful completion an EAL certificate can be provided at an additional cost of £55+VAT per delegate.
If the EAL certification is not required, delegates will receive a Redford Charles Certificate of Achievement.
This course is for mechanical and semi-skilled operatives (such as Caretakers, Property Maintenance Personnel, Facilities Management Companies, Schools, Joiners, Plumbers, Gas Engineers) that require a basic knowledge of electrical installations and equipment, including safe isolation procedures and safe systems at work.
Organisations are required to comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Part of this requirement is to comply with Electricity at Work Regulations which states that operatives must be competent to work on or near electrical equipment and follow recognised safe isolation procedures.

This day can be followed with our Basic Electrical Maintenance course (Accessory Replacement) which has been developed to provide non-electrical staff (such as Caretakers, Property Maintenance Personnel, Facilities Management Companies, Schools, Joiners, Plumbers, Gas Engineers, etc) the training and skills needed to safely and confidently replace items such as lights or socket outlets, which alleviates the expense of calling in an electrician. The Basic Electrical Maintenance course is always scheduled to take place the day after the Basic Electrical Awareness course, meaning should delegates wish to attend both courses they attend 3 consecutives day.

Jeremy at PPS –
The course was excellent and met my objectives. Only thing I would suggest to improve this course would be more hands on training with panels and spurs but course had very good content.
