Course 218 available online as e-learning module
As part of our commitment to modern learning, our ever-popular Requirements for Electrical Installations programme – AKA course 218 – is available online as an e-learning module.
This Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) approved training programme has been designed for qualified electricians looking to update their BS 7671 training.
Suitable for electricians who are responsible for ensuring that electrical installations are installed and commissioned in accordance with current requirements, it’s been accredited to Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework Level 7 by the SQA.
Training Manager Jenny Cryans (pictured above) said: “During the recent Amendment 2 updates, we took into account the positive feedback we’d received about our online training service.
“It meant that when we updated our programmes, we decided to develop a digital version of course 218, or to give it its full title, SQA Requirements for Electrical Installations to BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 (18th Edition).
“Consultant Training Adviser Billy McRobert has duly been working alongside online platform developers Learning Pool Ltd to create an e-learning course to sit alongside our classroom-based sessions. ”
Aim and content:
The course aims to provide detailed information on the particular requirements of BS 7671:2018+A2:2022. To complete it, you must be able to demonstrate knowledge of the standard by completing all the course assessments.
The course is split into two parts – Introduction to BS 7671 (Modules 1-8) and Requirements for Electrical Installations to BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 (Modules 9-12).
Modules 1-8 provide a basic introduction to BS 7671 to ensure you can successfully navigate and find key information. This will take around four-and-a-half hours and can be completed in stages.
The second half of the e-learning course covers:
- Module 9 – Scope, object and fundamental principles, definitions and assessment of general characteristics
- Module 10 – Protection for safety
- Module 11 – Selection and erection of equipment
- Module 12 – Inspection and testing, special installations or locations and functional requirements.
These modules should take around eight hours to complete and, again, can be done in stages.
Further details:
The course doesn’t cover the detailed requirements for inspection and testing of new or existing installations. To complete the course, you’ll need access to Requirements for Electrical Installations (18th Edition Wiring Regulations) BS 7671:2018+A2:2022, i.e. ‘the brown book’.
The course must be completed within one month from the date of booking and you’ll have two attempts to successfully pass each module.
There are multiple-choice assessments at the end of each module which you must pass before the next one unlocks. If you don’t successfully pass modules 9-12, the course will take you back to revise on the sections you failed.
