PAT testing training courses

”I found the site on the internet and although the venue was 89 miles from home the initial course description appealed to me and I booked on the next available course. I have attended many courses in the past and would not normally write a review. However this course was exceptional, it was very informative the content was well balanced between practical and theory. I particularly liked the practical sessions where we tested a variety of electrical appliances, many with well hidden faults to test our new skills. Nothing was too much trouble for the Trainer who gave me some excellent tuition on my own testing unit. 10 out of 10 for me, well worth the 89 miles and I would certainly recommend the course for both content and value for money.“

Steve, Go Plant Ltd, Loughborough.

”I found the course very useful as it explained the reasons why PAT testing is so important and the many pitfalls associated with this. The Trainer was also excellent as he performed many PAT tests and had many examples to illustrate the points raised helping the information gained sink in. In addition to this the trainer also spent time with me after the course showing me how to use the PAT tester my company had which was very valuable.“

Andrew, Rail Door Solutions, Milton Keynes.

”The course was very well run. It combined both an in depth theoretical training side with a practical session. The course lecturers were extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and were able to answer any questions not only from the theory side but also from the experience of carrying out the work in the field. We were also well provided for during the day.“

Richard, AV Services Limited, Essex.

”The course was very informative giving all necessary information needed for relevant testing. The instructor was very helpful and obliging.“

Allan, Epton Leisure Limited, Norfolk.

”I found the course to be of an excellent standard. The tutor was very knowledgeable and answered some awkward questions from me having been in the electrical business for more than 40 years.“

Alan, AA Electrical, Kent.

”I took part in this course as part of a way to furthering my future options. I was very happy with the teaching process. I started with very limited electrical knowledge I was helped in everything I needed in a friendly and professional way. Thank you.“

Gavin, Iron Craft Creations, Hertfordshire.

”I found the course very relaxed and very informative. The tutor was very approachable. The pace of the course I found suited my learning speed in spite of my senior years. It is many years since I have attempted do such a course and at first I felt a little out of my depth in spite of my extensive electrical knowledge as a T.V. engineer, however the relaxed approach soon allowed me to find my feet. At the end of the day I felt that the experience had been worth while even if I had failed the exam. However its nice that I did not.“

Len, Bourne Technical Services, Lincolnshire.

”All really good, very happy with the service, would recommend to anyone and would use them again.“

Seth, Hamble Distribution Ltd, Ipswich.

”I was a little apprehensive about taking this course as I had had very little electrical experience except what I remembered from physics at school some 30 years ago. I had no need to worry. From initial enquiries through to completing the course, the staff at Plugtest were as helpful as I could have hoped for. The training was carried out in very comfortable surroundings with a very happy and relaxed atmosphere. We were all well fed and watered and I enjoyed a good nights' accommodation at the local pub along with another couple of lads on the same course. Chinese was excellent. As for the course material, it was very well presented with plenty of practical hands-on testing. I was particularly impressed with our tutor (Robert) who would answer any question and would take the time to explain anything that was difficult to understand in a friendly and non-condescending manner, even though I was sure he'd been asked a thousand times before. He even took the time to recommend a suitable testing machine for any specific application that you had. In summary, I would highly recommend this course to anyone, no matter what experience they have. A first-class experience Plugtest. Thank you. Oh, and by the way, I passed!!“

Mark, Proglaze Installations Limited, York.

”Very pleased with the exceptional standard of the training course. Robert explained all aspects very clearly & dealt with all questions in a friendly & helpful manner. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!“

Douglas, Vale Holiday Parks, Ceredigion.

”Myself and one other from the company attended the 1 day City and Guilds course with Plugtest. The trainer was superb. He managed to clarify and get across everything we needed to know whilst making it a very entertaining day! I would recommend Plugtest training courses to anyone wanting to learn to PAT Test properly.“

Keith, A&C Hamilton, Preston.

”The course was excellent, really informative. The trainer was friendly and fitted everything into a hard 1 day course.“

John, CRS Electrical Services, Wigan.

”The course was both informative and enjoyable. I would recommend anyone to attend the formal course prior to taking the City & Guilds Exam and performing practical In-service Inspection and Testing. Even fully competent persons will gain something from the course with regard to working procedure and the requirements relating to documented records.“

E Williams, EDI Services, Somerset.

”Very useful and interesting course.“

Dave, Vinci Technology Centre, Leighton Buzzard.

”Very informative and helpful. It helped all of us to get a good knowledge of why, what and how to PAT test equipment. Rob was very knowledgeable on the subject and able to answer all the questions. The hands on time was very helpful for practice purposes and also to determine that our old equipment just is not good enough anymore for what we have to keep records of. Thanks for the help.“

Sam, Wycliffe UK Ltd, High Wycombe.

”Our company is always looking at ways to reduce it's costs without affecting performance or safety. We had previously outsourced our PAT testing to a local company, but myself and a colleague were given the opportunity to undertake a course in this area so we could maintain our company's PAT testing. We contacted Plugtest, who were able to tailor a course for our needs, and also able to travel and perform the training on-site. The training was very clear and thorough, and even with very basic knowledge of electrical components prior to the course, we both left with a good understanding of what PAT testing exactly involved. I would highly recommend Plugtest to anyone who wishes to undertake a course in PAT Testing.“

Johnathan, Ball Colegrave Ltd, Oxfordshire.

”I found the Plugtest PAT testing course to be very informative. The training given was easy to understand and the practical demonstrations were invaluable. I would not hesitate in recommending this course to anyone.“

John, ALN Printed Circuits Ltd, Birmingham.

”Very friendly environment to be able to walk into on your first morning. The course was well explained and never felt as if I couldn't stop him and ask if things could be explained again....and again.....and again (Sorry Rob). All questions were answered clearly and to the point. There was also plenty of info concerning which equipment to buy and what is best suited to our individual needs. The food was also first class. Thanks guys.“

Matt, Swan Construction, Essex.

”Very well presented course, although the 2 days were pretty full on but worth it. Good teacher as well who explained things well and was very patient. “

Laurie, Letserv Inventories ltd, Cambridgeshire.

”An excellent starter course for people with very little prior electrical knowledge. A lot of content to take in, all of which was explained clearly and in good detail. Thank you Plugtest, I wasn't expecting to get 100%!!“

Chris, Midland Filtration, Nottingham.

”I thought the coarse was well presented and that the information that was given to us was clear and well laid out. The buffet was also of a good standard.“

Paul, Gaming Leisure Installs, Kent.

”The one day City & Guilds Pat-test course was very intensive, but was conducted in an easy going format. Rob was extremely helpful and happy to explain on a one to one basis as and when required. The food and drink that was supplied was first rate. We would definitely use plugtest again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking into training. “

Dean, McVeigh Parker & Co Ltd, Kent.

”I really enjoyed my PAT testing course and my trainer was really good. The first day I struggled to understand anything as I haven't even changed a fuse before but my trainer was so helpful and patient and worked hard to explain everything to me in more detail that I luckily passed the test and now I have 150 + plugs to test but got a pay rise out of it. “

Holly, Torus Insurance, London.

”I trained with Plugtest in December 2009 and was very impressed with all aspects of the two day course. Our trainer (Robert) was an excellent trainer and thanks to him & his knowledge I passed the City & Guilds exam with flying colours. I would not hesitate to recommend Plugtest to anyone considering PAT training. “

Richard, Homeleaves Energy, West Sussex.

”Great training day. Rob is a nice easy going guy who put all present at ease, whilst instilling the knowledge required.“

Paul, P.N.Electrical, Merseyside.

”I would just like to say what an amazing experience I had in completing this course. As the only female on the course I was made to feel very welcomed and at all times felt at ease. The tutor was excellent, his style of teaching was brilliant. I found it a very good two days and am very pleased that I did it. The environment in where the course took place was very relaxing and the food provided was very nice too. In all the whole experience is one I would recommend to anyone and everyone.“

Caz, South Yorkshire.

”Congratulations to Plugtest. The training facilities and the friendliness of the staff are first rate, from the very first meeting to the final farewell at the end of this 2 day course. Everything that was needed was provided from excellent training materials to nice lunches and free flowing refreshments. I had no formal experience of electrical work, some on the course had experience, this was no problem as Robert presented the course content in an excellent easy to understand way which was much appreciated. “

Geoff, Hampshire.

”An excellent course, thorough and with the right mixture of talks and practical activities. “
