Can I Learn to PAT Test at Home or Work?
Yes, you can get fully qualified via our PAT Testing DVD & Online Exam, available to purchase from our dedicated PAT Testing Course website:
The portable appliance test training DVD course has been endorsed by NAPIT, (The National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers), as a suitable PAT testing training course and examination.
This DVD PAT course will save you money as it allows the training of multiple employees. By using the same DVD, it is possible to cut your training costs. The DVD comes with one examination but further examinations can be purchased. This effectively aids your training and allows you to save money.
Once the examination has been completed and passed the candidate is then able to gain their Certificate of Technical Competence in Portable Appliance Testing. The candidate is then able to perform PAT testing either for a company or as a self-employed business.
This form of training is ideal as it cuts out the need to travel and allows the candidate to learn in their own time eliminating the need for travel.
The DVD course is split into easy to use, small bite-size sections that allow the candidate to return and re-do in order to gain further understanding and clarification. After all the sections have been completed the candidate is free to revisit the site and take the online examination.
The examination itself is made up of 24 multiple-choice questions designed to ensure that the subject has been fully understood. Once the exam has been passed the certificate can be printed. If the candidate should fail, the examination may be taken again at no further charge.
