Job Opportunities in PAT Testing

PAT testing is an important process that ensures electrical equipment is safe to use. Most businesses and organisations carry out regular inspection and testing of portable appliances to comply with health and safety legislation, creating a consistent demand for skilled PAT testers across a wide range of industries.


PAT testing forms part of many roles, including Facilities Managers, IT Support Technicians, Health and Safety Officers and Events Technicians. Developing PAT testing skills can support career progression and increase earning potential.


There are also opportunities to work full-time as a PAT testing engineer. This often involves travelling to customer sites to carry out testing in environments such as healthcare, education, manufacturing and retail. Alternatively, you may choose to become a self-employed PAT tester or set up your own testing business. If you're new to the industry, see our guide on how to become a PAT tester.


Many employers ask for a recognised PAT qualification such as City & Guilds 2377 (or equivalent). If you’re new to PAT testing, our City & Guilds 2377 PAT testing course covers the inspection process, test limits, record keeping and safe working practices. For people carrying out testing in-house (for example schools, facilities teams or landlords), our PAT testing courses are also available at venues across the UK.
