PAT Testing Training
It is not stated in the health and safety regulations for an individual to have any qualifications to PAT Test but it does state that PAT Testing must be done by a competent person who has been given instruction i.e. Someone who understands the PAT Testing process and can perform the necessary checks in a safe manner. It is therefore generally recommended that if a company wishes to conduct PAT Testing in-house then they have the person who will be doing the testing attend a PAT Testing training course or at least complete a distance learning course so as to fully understand what it is they are checking for.
The only nationally recognized qualification of competence in PAT is offered by City & Guilds: 'Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment - Vocational 3 (No. 2377)'.[2] although many other non-recognized PAT training courses are available.

Code of Practice for In-service Testing & Inspection of Electrical Equipment
This "Code of Practice" has been revised to reflect current best practice. It gives guidance to those responsible for the inspection, testing and maintenance of electrical appliances. The text specifies the frequency and scope of inspections and testing in different environments. The new revision is printed in colour and includes many drawings aimed at helping to identify common problems.
Handbook of Portable Appliance Testing: The Complete Reference Book for Anyone Wanting to Carry Out PAT Testing
The Handbook of Portable Appliance Testing is a practical work that gives sensible answers to the sort of questions faced by most people undertaking PAT Testing. It is intended to be much easier to understand than the IEE Code of Practice. It strikes a balance between giving enough technical background where necessary, and easy to follow practical advice in implementing a PAT testing scheme. For example someone wanting to undertake PAT Testing using a PASS/FAIL PAT Tester need only read through the Overview, Planning and Doing the Work sections to get started. If they come across any appliances that they are not quite sure how to test, then a quick look within the Test Examples section should provide an answer. For those wanting more technical information on how the tests are done and find out how to interpret the test results, the PAT Testing: Technical Information section should provide all the answers they are looking for. The Test Examples section contains many practical tips and hints regarding PAT Testing of a variety of appliances that are found in offices, homes, schools and factories. Many of these are based around questions either from delegates or calls to our technical support line. Useful reference information has been tucked away in the Appendix so as not to clutter the main body of the handbook. This includes a chapter on Basic Electrical Theory and a background to Electric Shock and the different techniques in place to protect users from it. This book is equally valuable to the newcomer to PAT Testing who intends to test in-house as well as the more experienced practitioner who plans to provide a PAT Testing service to other companies. It should also provide a source of useful information to those intending to take the City & Guilds 2377 examination.
