What is an Electrical Test and Tag Course?
Electrical Test and Tag training is a course that teaches how to properly test and tag electrical appliances and equipment.
The course is focused on practical PAT testing and theory, which are required to test basic items of electrical equipment. However, it does lean heavily on practical hands-on work to make sure trainees are completely ready to test and tag on their own upon completion of the course.
Who should take the Electrical Test and Tag Course?
Electrical test and tag knowledge is important for the safety of those who may come into contact with electrical equipment that has a voltage of less than 50V and a detachable plug.
This one-day PAT testing course is suitable for anyone wanting to learn how to use a PAT Machine to conduct single-phase electrical testing and tagging as an occupation.
This course is specifically designed and suitable for anyone over the age of 18.

Either way, the employer or self-employed person is responsible for making sure the individual carrying out the testing and tagging of electrical equipment has the required competencies.
Section 97 of the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013 defines a competent person as someone who has the knowledge and skill to inspect and test electrical equipment. This course is designed to help you meet those requirements.
