Who should learn? This course has been designed for those who are new to EV Charging Installations or for those requiring a better understanding of electric vehicle charging equipment installations. Learners using this course could be from any background or industry sector, from apprentices through to senior managers. Course Introduction This online course will cover the key aspects of the design, specification and installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation. This course will look at the requirements detailed in Section 722 of BS 7671:2018+A1:2020 as well as the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, 4th Edition. The course will also help to enhance your expertise on the best practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, providing you with a deeper understanding of how to select and use the correct earthing systems to protect against electric shock as well looking into vehicle-to-grid, on street installations and smart infrastructure integration. We would recommend that you purchase a copy of The Code of Practice For Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, Fourth Edition to get the best out of this course. Learning Objectives Through this online course, you will learn: How to specify Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installations How to design electrical installations containing electric vehicle charging and supply equipment The steps involved in planning, installing and commissioning of electric vehicle charging points Key risks and hazards for various types of installation, and how to address them, including: Dwellings, Commercial and Industrial premises, On-Street installations, and filling stations.
The 18th edition course is an online short course aimed at anyone involved in the design, construction and inspection and testing of electrical systems, also a nationally recognised ‘must have’ qualification for companies seeking to recruit electricians. It is intended to introduce the candidate to a working knowledge of the Wiring Regulations along with a brief overview of the Electricity at Work Regulations covering their statutory duties. Previous knowledge of the regulations is not assumed, however, a fundamental knowledge of electrical principles is assumed.
This course provides an overview of a number of high-profile accidents, highlighting the importance of risk and safety management. It explores what risk is, describes the role and use of risk management throughout the project lifecycle and explores the benefits of the risk management process.
This course explains how to identify hazards, which is an important initial step in the risk management process. It also explores HAZID/ENVID studies and explains what a HAZOP is, when it should be used, and the basic methodology used to conduct the risk assessment.
Who is the course aimed at? This course is designed for both engineers with experience, and also for new entrants from a non-engineering background who want to pursue a new career as a Service Engineer. For those without an engineering background, it is recommended that you have a minimum grade C at GSCE Maths. Click here for more information
What does this course cover? This five-day course covers a range of topics, all of which are covered via a mixture of theoretical and practical training – we aim for our courses to be as hands-on as possible.

A range of systems including automatic control, FIELDBUS, and wireless communication systems. An introduction to serial interfaces, ethernet networks, fibre optic, and wireless. Communications, including case studies to establish communication with PLCs. Process variables. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), sensors, and alarms. Introduction to OPC (open plan communications) How to configure OPC UA servers and how to program an OPC UA client Client and server development Connection management Security configuration Trends and historical data System components This course covers a wide range of industry-recognised manufacturers, including Siemens, Allen Bradley, Wago and Mitsubishi.) What will I gain from this course? Upon successful completion of this course, candidates will gain a City & Guilds certification in SCADA and PLC Communications.
This course introduces the key concepts of the Internet of Things and cybersecurity. The course will provide an insight into the Internet of Things; the basics of cybersecurity; and describe a framework to protect IOT assets. This course will also examine real-world examples of IOT deployments and their cybersecurity, to highlight key lessons and key deployment actions that can be taken.
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.
This course introduces the key principles and technologies involved in smart homes and describes some basic forms that smart homes can take. It discusses the progress from initial consultation with the client through the various stages of the project in the order they would ordinarily occur, including commissioning and handover. In depth technical information, including operational safety and telecommunication cabling, is explored within the context of stages it would occur in the project.
This course is aimed at beginners with no previous electrical experience or knowledge, it’s ideal for those wanting to enter the electrical industry. Completion of this combined course provides the majority of skills required for candidates to work as an industrial, commercial and domestic electrician. Please note this course incorporates weeks 1 to 4 of the Total Electrical 20 course.
