This course provides learners with a good understanding of the technical requirements for surge protection for mains power, instrumentation, control, voice and data circuit installations. The course outlines the lightning protection and earthing principles on surge protection and discusses the surge protection requirements based on BS EN 62305 and BS 7671. Modules also consider the need for risk assessment for lightning and surge protection, sources of disturbance and damages caused by different risks and the importance of good earthing and main equipotential bonding. The course explores several examples of good and poor surge protection and the correct selection, installation, commissioning and monitoring of SPDs under different system earthing types.

After an initial Skills Scan, we will discuss the gaps that need to be filled and you will be assessed using a range of methods to complete the evidence gathering process.There will also be Professional Discussions to discuss areas of expertise and you can choose either an installation or maintenance route based on the work you carry out.There are seven Performance Units to be assessed for the qualification, these are: Apply Practices and Procedures for Maintenance Apply Health, Safety and Environmental Considerations Organise and Oversee the Electrical Work Environment Apply Design and Installation Practices and Procedures Terminate and Connect Conductors Inspect, Test and Commission Electrical Systems Apply Fault Diagnosis and Rectification On completion of the Experienced Worker assessment you will be able to use the qualification to apply for a JIB Gold Card. This qualification is for experienced electricians who can demonstrate over 5 years experience.It is not suitable for new entrants or those currently on an apprenticeship.
This ACS renewal reassessment gas safe course is for existing gas engineers who have previously passed the ACS assessment and need to renew their qualifications and certification. This qualification needs renewing every five years for gas engineers to continue working safely, legally, and to remain on the gas safe register. To be eligible for this course, candidates must ACS qualifications must have expired within the last 12 months or be due to expire in the next 6 months – if it has been over 12 months, the new entrant’s assessment must be taken. This ACS renewal reassessment course is ideal for category 1 gas engineers who predominately work with boilers & appliance’s including CCN1, CPA1, CENWAT, HTR1, and CKR1. Your training & assessment will be easier to determine if you have been regularly undertaking the areas of gas work covered by your existing certification. Reassessment ACS is a mixture of assessing both your practical skills and theory knowledge and covers all updates since you last took the qualification. What does this cover? The core domestic gas safety course (CCN1) plus appliances, includes training and re-assessment on CCN1 CENWAT (Central Heating Boilers and Water Heaters) CKR1 (Cookers) HTR1 (Space heaters, including gas fires and wall heaters.) MET1: Meters There’s also the opportunity to cover the below for an extra fee if required: Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) Unvented Hot Water Heating The assessment is a mixture of practical and theory, testing candidates skills and knowledge.
