It is intended to ensure that individuals are conversant with the format, content and application of the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018, as amended.
There are no pre-requisite requirements for this qualification, however, all candidates must be over 18 years old.

This will depend on your situation. The main thing is that all installations designed from January 2019 onwards must comply with the new regs. As such if you are happy with your understanding of the new Blue book then there is no need to take a course. However if you belong to scheme such as the NICEIC, ELECSA, STROMA, Napit or others then they will tell you when you need to complete the qualification by. If you are registered with the JIB ECS check system then you will also need to achieve the latest qualification by a date which they will confirm to you.
The new 18th edition course will be very similar to the existing 17th edition course. As such we expect those who have completed the 17th edition course with the 3rd amendment to complete this course in a much shorter time with our 2 day 18th edition update course. Despite this being a new regs book many of the existing regulations and the format of the book will remain the same.
Virtually everyone working in electrical installation needs to be up to date with the latest wiring regulation. It is essentially the industry bible. Installers and employers require it as do governing bodies.
There are no formal entry requirements, however we recommended that you understand the basic of electrical installation before undertaking this course.
It is not mandatory, however students looking to pass first time may wish to set aside a couple of hours each evening to review course notes and revise.
