BPEC (level3)Part P Electrics-b&c scope.
BPEC (level3) Part P Electrics-a scope.
C&G (2377) PAT.
C&G (2382)-17th Edition regs.
C&G (2392-10) .
All this happens in a 6wk course with 4wks work placement thrown in-Question-Can I go self employed after such a short course and make a living ????
P.S. All this for about 5 grand,as much feedback as possible please.
cant comment on this training provider, but where do all these Level 3's come from?

'BPEC' is not a recognised qualifiaction, and (for example) the EAL Domestic Installers course is Level 2, as is the C&G 2392-10, what ever they are offering, it certainly isnt Level 3!!!

oh, and the 2377, is that the full course, or just the 'mickey mouse, useless by-iteslf' unit 002?

i meet many people who claim to be qualified PAT testers when they only have half the qual!!!
