This awareness level course is intended for anyone responsible for conducting portable appliance visual inspections and tests or who wishes to understand the process.
The purpose of this training course is to provide an understanding of best practices recognised by the law when it comes to preventing the hazards of portable electrical appliances.
Why Is PAT Testing Course Important?
Faults in electrical appliances can cause electric shocks and burns, which can result in severe or fatal injuries to those involved, as well as fire. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), portable appliances accounted for over 25% of all electrical accidents, while of some 30,000 fires seen in England, nearly 45% were caused by electrical faults.
Due to the risk involved, there is a clear legal requirement to control the hazards of electrical appliances and equipment.
Under the Health and Safety etc. Work 1974, employers must provide a safe working environment, free from hazards such as those of portable electrical equipment. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations, or PUWER, 1998 further underscore these duties, which require that electrical equipment must be in a suitably safe condition and subject to regular inspections, as required.

This training course provides a thorough understanding of the what PAT is, the pass/fail criteria and walks you through the steps for conducting such a test. These steps are suitable for conducting PAT in a range of work environments. Bear in mind, however, that work environments and the electrical hazards they present can vary to a wide degree. It is your duty under the law to ensure you are suitably competent to safely conduct any inspections or tests before doing so.
There’s no formal qualification or background in electrical work required to perform PAT tests. You do need to be considered competent to conduct them, however. The HSE defines competent people as those with the right combination of training, skills, experience and knowledge to perform PAT tests safely.
You will earn a PAT testing certificate after successfully completing the online accredited PAT testing course. Your RoSPA-assured certificate will be available to download instantly upon course completion.
It is important to note that online training is not a replacement for practical classroom training, which is often required to conduct full PAT tests. However, our PAT testing course is useful to gain an awareness of the process and will help you conduct visual inspections or check low-risk appliances.
Costs start at £49 + VAT. Discounts are available on volume purchases – you can speak to one of our sales team to learn more.
The PAT testing course takes around 50 minutes to complete and is completely online so you can learn at your own pace.
The course covers information on how to do a PAT test and other relevant topics related to workplace electrical safety, including:
The course does explain each step of the PAT test process but on its own won’t necessarily prepare you for carrying out full PAT tests on all types of electrical appliances.
PAT tests can only be conducted by competent individuals. This requirement means you will need the right combination of training, skills, experience and knowledge to conduct PAT tests safely and legally.
Completing the course will help you towards this level. Plus, you’ll be awarded a RoSPA-assured PAT testing certificate that demonstrates your PAT test knowledge.
