Course Aims
This 3 day course will ensure candidates have a sound working knowledge of the Wiring Regulations and most recent updates. Ensuring compliance and keeping pace with current electrical standards as they evolve. Maintaining safe and compliant installations requires staying informed as BS 7671 changes, especially with the most recent Amendment 4.
After finishing, you will have fulfilled both a fundamental industry standard and a prerequisite for your ECS card's Registered Electrician status.
This course walks you through the changes, explains their implications, and helps you correctly apply the requirements in practical situations.
Benefits of Attending
Learners will be guided through BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 and given examples of how this will be used in industry and on site. Learners will also be familiarised with the changes made since the release of the 18th edition in A2:2018 and from previous versions.
If you design, install, maintain, or inspect electrical systems—or work in trades like HVAC or renewables—BS 7671 applies to you!
