City & Guilds 17th Edition Wiring Regulations Course
The 17th edition wiring training course is aimed at practising electricians, electrical engineers, contracts managers, maintenance staff, designers and surveyors, or any professional requiring sound knowledge of the most up-to-date IEE Wiring Regulations.
Upon completion, candidates will be issued with a certificate which serves as proof that they are fully conversant with the format, content and application of the 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671: 2008). The course does not assume previous knowledge of the regulations; however, familiarity with electrical theory and terminology, along with a basic understanding of electrical installation circuits, is expected. The training is delivered by fully certified Stroma Certification assessors as a three day classroom-based course, and is limited to four candidates. Over the three days, candidates cover the appendices of BS 7671:2008 (scope, object and fundamental principles) as well as the eight units relating to Parts 1-7:
- Definitions
- Assessment of general characteristics
- Protection for safety
- Selection and erection of equipment
- Inspection and testing
- Special installations or locations
- Appendices
| Training Course | Duration | Price | Cert.Fee |
| C&G 2382 - 17th Edition Wiring | 3 days | £400 | included |
Having completed the training, candidates are required to sit a two hour, multiple choice examination online, based on the content and application of BS 7671: 2008 (17th Edition Regulations). This is an open book exam and candidates may refer to the 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations throughout.

REGISTERING WITH A COMPETENT PERSONS SCHEME
Once Part P qualified, electrical installers can join a Government approved Part P competent persons scheme. Registration will necessitate an on-site inspection of wiring and testing work to ensure competence. During the inspection, the installer must produce reference manuals, a BPEC Part P full scope certificate and a multi-function electrical tester which is compliant with the requirements of the 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations.
Some schemes also stipulate a current wiring regulations certificate (obtained by completing the City & Guilds 2382 17th Edition Wiring Regulations course).
