PAT Training
PAT testing should be an important part of every company's health and safety regime, but it can be very expensive if only a few items need to be tested on a sporadic basis (such as new equipment or repaired equipment). It can quite often work out cheaper and easier to do the task yourself and the knowledge needed to do this can be achieved with a training course.
Our course is aimed at customers looking to carry out PAT testing in their own workplace. The course content is designed to meet your own particular requirements whilst also having the added benefit of having a portable appliance testing expert on hand to provide valuable advice on testing in your workplace. The course is made as practical as possible with plenty of hands on learning, giving candidates the confidence to start testing.
