About the Safe Isolation of Electrical Installations Course
The Safe Isolation of Electrical Installations CPD course is a specialist qualification developed for professionals whose work involves electrical supplies and equipment, including gas, plumbing and heating engineers. It also provides useful supporting knowledge for engineers progressing into low carbon technologies through our wider renewable energy training.
The course will enable you to understand safe working procedures for the isolation of electrical supplies and put that knowledge into practice. This is particularly relevant for heating engineers expanding their work around electrically powered heating equipment and controls, including those developing their skills through our Air Source Heat Pump Systems Level 3 Focused Course.
The course is underpinned by the requirements laid down in the 1989 Electricity at Work Regulations and the BS 7671, (co-published by the Institute of Engineering and Technology and the British Standards Institution).
After completing the course, you can expect to be able to apply the correct isolation procedure on any scale of electrical installation, which in turn can help to prevent injury whilst work is taking place.
How is the Safe Isolation of Electrical Installations Course assessed?
To pass, you’ll need to complete a short practical assessment with a brief question and answer section.
If you are unsuccessful, you will be referred and have the opportunity to retake the exam at a later date. If you need to retake the exam, you will receive a free re-sit.
