Courses

High quality competency based and practical training programmes are designed to industry standards and are delivered by qualified tutors, all with many years of electrical engineering experience. Training programmes focus on safety as the prime objective and address the following:

• Safe high voltage / low voltage switching applicable to land based systems and marine / offshore
• Electrical protection
• Electrical testing
• Maintenance of electrical switchgear
• Electrical safety procedures: Authorisation / Isolation / Earthing / Electrical Permit to Work
• IEE 17th Edition Wiring Regulations BS7671:2008
• Electrical equipment in hazardous area

Competent Person: Safety procedures with well-designed and maintained equipment go a considerable way to avoiding danger when installing, operating or maintaining high voltage equipment. However, the most important link in the safety chain is the competence of the personnel involved. It is essential that they can recognise potential dangers and take necessary precautions to avoid a catastrophe.

Competency Assessment: At the end of the training programmes, The Faraday Centre conducts an individual competence assessment comprises a theoretical assessment paper, verbal questions and a practical hands-on assessment exercise. Based on the outcome of the assessment, The Faraday Centre can make recommendations as to the individual's suitability to be considered for Authorised/Senior Authorised Electrical Person.
