BET offer a combined course, delegates undertaking the 2391-52 will gain the full Level 3 Award including initial verification and period inspection qualifications.

Testing & Inspection qualifications are aimed at practicing electricians who have not yet carried out inspection and testing since qualifying or are required to update their training prior to undertaking further electrical training. This qualification is also designed for candidates who have limited experience such as newly qualified apprentices or who have been working in different sectors of the industry.

It remains the advice for candidates who have no or limited test and inspection experience, to undertake the City & Guilds 2392 Fundamental Inspection & Testing or the 1-Day Practical Testing Refresher, also offered by BET.

The new 2391 qualification will continue to be recognised by the JIB under the ECS Card scheme, this will allow candidates to apply for their approved electrician card on completion of this qualification.
