What is the City & Guilds 2391 qualification?
The City & Guilds 2391 is a Level 3 qualification focused on the inspection and testing of electrical installations. It is designed for electrical professionals who want to develop or update their knowledge and practical skills in electrical inspection and testing.
The 2391 pathway includes different qualifications covering areas such as Initial Verification and Periodic Inspection and Testing. The City & Guilds 2391-50 Initial Verification qualification focuses on inspecting, testing and certifying new electrical installations before they are placed into service.
The City & Guilds 2391-52 qualification combines initial verification with periodic inspection and testing, helping practising electricians develop the skills needed to inspect and test both new and existing electrical installations.
The most suitable qualification will depend on your existing experience, the type of electrical work you undertake and the inspection and testing skills you want to develop. If you're unsure which course is right for you, our team can help you choose the most appropriate option.
What is the difference between Initial Verification and Periodic Inspection & Testing?
Initial Verification and Periodic Inspection & Testing both involve inspecting and testing electrical installations, but they are carried out at different stages of an installation's life.
Initial Verification is carried out on a new electrical installation or an alteration or addition to an existing installation before it is put into service. The process involves inspection and testing to verify that the installation has been installed safely and meets the relevant requirements. This process is typically documented using an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC).
Periodic Inspection & Testing is carried out on an existing electrical installation to assess its condition and determine whether it remains safe for continued use. The findings are recorded in an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), which identifies any defects or issues that may require further investigation or remedial work.
If you want to develop skills in both areas, the City & Guilds Level 3 Award in Initial and Periodic Inspection and Testing of Electrical Installations (2391-52) combines initial verification with periodic inspection and testing in one qualification.
If you're unsure whether Initial Verification, Periodic Inspection & Testing, or a combined qualification is right for you, our team can help you understand the options based on your experience and career goals.
