Plug Wiring Course

Our Plug Wiring Course is a practical 3-hour workshop for companies and organisations that need to ensure their maintenance staff or other employees have the skills and competency to correctly wire a 13A plug.


The course is run as a dedicated training session for your group, either at your own premises or at our main training centre in Cambridgeshire. We can arrange a course on a suitable date to meet your requirements.


Training covers the tools and techniques used for stripping and preparing flexible cables, wiring different plug types, selecting the correct fuse rating, and identifying common problems with plugs and fuses. All tools, materials and training manuals are supplied. Delegates will receive a certificate of competence following a practical assessment.
