21st century approach to electrical
training
Competence via training is the ethos of the Lowe Group, which provides a range of specialist electrical and safety training courses.
It is the responsibility of appointed duty holders within companies to ensure that their workers are fully competent to undertake any tasks they are allocated involving electrical or mechanical equipment and installations Where any contractors are involved in site work, they also should provide evidence of their workforce competence and registration with appropriate organised bodies such as the relevant national inspection council or the electrical contractors association

Competence via training is the ethos of the Lowe Group, which provides a range of specialist electrical and safety training courses.
These are designed to impart the appropriate skills for people to undertake designated tasks with confidence and within full compliance and understanding of current regulations.
The tasks involved can be many and varied, including the design, erection, inspection and testing together with verification and certification of electrical equipment and installations.
The legislative electrical training courses available through the Lowe Group are equally diverse and include City and Guilds qualifications 2377-002, 2381, 2391 and 2400.
Refresher courses on current regulations include: Electricity at Work regulations 1989; 16th Edition Wiring regulations BS7671; Emergency Lighting BS5266; Electrical Machine Safety PUWER2 together with a Duty Holders' regulations update.
Other courses include tutorials on electrical testing, earthing and bonding, risk assessment etc.
Training is delivered in short course format or for some subjects through evening study at any of the Lowe Group's training centres.
Company specific training can even be delivered on site if required offering greater flexibility for busy organisations.
With the new City and Guilds and EAL online assessment facility for multiple choice examinations, available "24/7" and providing instant pass or fail feedback, this adds up to a realistic 21st century approach to electrical training in the UK.
