Part P registration, PAT testing in a school

Let me have a guess.. You were born a fully experienced, qualified, competent sparky the day you left your mums vagina.

We all have start somewhere.

Yes we all start somewhere, for an electrician that somewhere is a few years working alongside an experienced mentor then a couple more years under loose supervision. Along with learning the science and regulations behind the trade.

To carry out PAT correctly you would do well to start with a copy of the current IET code of practice for ISITEE. The tests are similar to those carried out in installation testing but the applied test currents and voltages are different.

Please keep it civil when replying to people and show them the same respect you would expect yourselves, the thread is being watched.
And that's aimed at anyone who is being short, sharp or rude before anyone asks.
