Safe Isolation & Electrical Fault-Finding

This 2-day course for qualified heating engineers will give a technical understanding of central heating electrical circuits, components, and best practices to assist them to safely work and diagnose boiler & system electrical faults. The course is a blended mix of theory and practical.

The course includes the BPEC single phase safe isolation training and assessment which gives you the knowledge and process to complete safe electrical isolation to industry standards and guidance. The safe isolation aspect of the course is certified against BPEC requirements following successful completion of a knowledge test and practical assessment.
