Level 3
Although there are no formal entry requirements to this course, candidates for the Inspection and Testing Certificate (2377-002) should be "practising electricians" (City & Guilds). Candidates should ideally have an electrical or technical background, or at least have had some recent relevant training/experience. This is due to the technical and health & safety implications of testing and an awareness of the associated hazards. This is a Level 3 qualification and candidates should ideally possess a level of basic skills commensurate with this.
