This course gives everything you need to become a competent PAT Tester there are other courses that offer a City and Guilds qualification I have done that course and utterly failed I think they are more aimed at people who are electricians but if you do this course you will be a fully qualified PAT Tester thanks Tim

Completed this course at Fort William UHI.
I found the course very informative and it was clearly explained what was required. Lots of practical hands on things to test to make sure you were understanding what is required to complete pat testing, highly Recommend this course

As an electrical engineer with almost 40 years experience, I wondered what I would learn by doing a PAT test Course, but it was a contract requirement so I obliged.
Tim was fantastic, extremely informative, extremely helpful, full of good knowledge and experience - but most importantly, common sense and humility.
I learnt a lot, thanks Tim, and I am not too proud to admit that. It was a fantastic course, with a fantastic group of trainees led by one of the best trainers I have encountered in many years, I think Tim is eclipsed by Red Pen Ron from the HV Courses (Sadly no longer with us).
If you need to arrange a PAT test course for you or your team - I can highly recommend The Pat Testing Expert, I do not make recommendations for trainers lightly, to say you get Value for Money is an understatement.
Thanks Tim.

The PAT testing course was an excellent day very professionally delivered by out tutor Tim James.
The course covered all the essential elements and allowed for plenty of interaction and discussion. We had a mix of candidates from different work environments and Tim was good at relating the program across differing sectors. I would recommend PAT TESTING EXPERTS again.

I would definitely recommend PAT TESTING EXPERT to anyone looking for PAT test training. Tim is a great trainer, very knowledgeable and explains things clearly, and is not rushed so we could all understand. The course training booklet is very well written and is easy to understand and a great reference tool for the future.
Many Thanks

Does exactly what it says on the tin. I work for a charity so i always try to keep the cost low. I did my PAT testing course in central London with Pat Testing Expert and I have to say that it was faultless. In spite of the cost of the course being cheap (with books etc included) the venue was excellent. The trainer, Tim, is personable and knowledgable. I would recommend.
