C&G 2377-22 PAT Testing Course
Beginners, Other Trades & Existing Electricians
Why take the C&G 2377-22 PAT Testing Course?
This PAT testing electrical course is very similar to the 2377-32 & 22 but only contains one operator exam. This course is open to all including non-electricians and domestic installers.
Given that every commercial electrical appliance requires PAT testing, this PAT testing course is a very useful qualification and addition to the skill-set of any practicing electrical professional. Undergoing PAT testing training will prove invaluable.
This course has now been replaced by the brand new C&G 2377-77 Qualification. Find out more here.

Course overview
Why take this PAT Testing course?
PAT testing is one of our most popular courses. It is a great way of streaming another source of revenue and will enable you to offer another service to your customers.
Kewtech PAT testers are used on this course and are available to purchase at Reception in our main centres (Leeds, Coventry, Gatwick and Warrington) at a discounted price.
Is this PAT course right for me?
PAT testing is a skill that can be learned by almost anyone (over the age of 18) such as office maintenance staff or landlords. Some basic electrical knowledge is useful but not essential. In a commercial environment, regulations insist that every item of electrical equipment is tested and certified as being safe to use. For electrical contractors this can be seen as a potentially lucrative new service to add - and one that is required by industry at all levels.
