WHAT electrical COURSES DO WE OFFER?
Safe Touch and Safe Electrical Isolation (TB118GE)
From 1st July 2020, all gas operatives who install and maintain gas appliances and equipment, containing electrical components and controls are now expected to have the ability to carry out Safe to Touch and Safe Electrical Isolation. Prior to undertaking ACS assessments gas engineers must declare they possess this knowledge and are competent to carry out electrical work safely. The TB118GE NICEIC certificated course is designed to meet this requirement. This Certificate has a 5 year expiry.
