18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations Refresher

The 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations, also known as BS 7671:2018, form the national standard to which all new and amended electrical installations in the UK must comply to.

All electrical professionals must ensure they are familiar with the changes to the standard and the new requirements it details, which came into force in January 2019.

These changes will affect most electrical installation work carried out in the UK.


Course Overview

This City and Guilds 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations Refresher training course familiarises electrical professionals with the changes to BS 7671:2018.

Delegates will learn to remain compliant with 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations while working on the design, installation, inspection and testing of wiring systems, as well as additions and alterations to existing systems.

Please Note: This one day refresher course is only for those who have passed the most recent amendment of the 17th edition (since 2015). The one day refresher course covers similar topics to the three day course, but due to there being fewer changes to the regulations since the 17th edition it can be completed in a shorted timeframe.
