Description
Uncertainty around PAT testing, choosing the right testing approach, and understanding whether formal qualifications are required can make workplace electrical safety confusing. The PAT Testing Training Online from High Skills Training helps learners understand portable appliance testing, electrical classifications, electricity safety programme, inspection procedures, giving them the knowledge needed to support safer equipment management in low-risk workplaces.
This online course is designed for office managers, facilities staff, health and safety leads, employers, business owners, landlords, property managers, and employees responsible for basic equipment checks. It is also suitable for maintenance staff, care home and school teams, small business owners, and individuals exploring PAT testing as a foundation before progressing towards qualifications such as City & Guilds 2377.
Learners will explore PAT equipment types and electrical classification, including portable, movable, stationary, and fixed-interface equipment. The course explains Class I, Class II, and Class III equipment, earthing requirements, and how equipment classification influences inspection and testing decisions.
The course also covers the in-service inspection and maintenance process, including preparation, user checks, visual inspections, identifying defects, managing failed equipment, and maintaining accurate records. Learners will understand PAT tester capabilities, testing methods, safety considerations, and the limitations of equipment testing.
This is a knowledge-based CPD course designed to improve understanding of PAT processes and workplace responsibilities. It does not replace practical assessment or regulated qualifications required for specialist commercial PAT testing services.
With 24/7 learner support, a 14-day money-back guarantee, a FREE Digital CPD Certificate, additional resources, and quizzes, this fully online course helps learners assess their knowledge and support safer equipment management. Enrol in this PAT Testing Training Online course now and develop essential knowledge of appliance safety checks, inspection procedures, and compliance practices.
