City & Guilds 2391-20

Certificate in Design, Erection and Verification of Electrical Installations City & Guilds – 2391-20

The Electrical Installations design course (2391-20) is the pinnacle of the series of City & Guilds qualifications.

This is a five-day short course (normally delivered one day per week over a five week period) aimed at anyone involved in the design, construction and inspection and testing of electrical systems, also a nationally recognised benchmark qualification for companies seeking a qualifying manager and the natural progression for anyone who already holds City and Guilds 2391-10.

Whenever electrical systems are installed, the correct design of the installation will be paramount for ensuring the safety of personnel and the ongoing functionality of the installation itself. Even when fairly straight-forward domestic installations are carried out, there is always a level of design work required. In larger commercial installations the ‘standard circuits’ often employed in small installations are no longer applicable, and each circuit would need design calculations to be performed. This course provides participants with all the necessary skills and knowledge to design electrical installations.

The qualification is in three parts, a three hour written examination, a 20 hour project and a practical assessment. Exemption of the practical assessment is available if the candidate already holds City and Guilds 2391-01 or 2391-10 Inspection and Testing.

We strongly recommend a minimum of City and Guilds 2381 or 2382, as during the course it will be assumed you are already familiar with the technical language and have a working knowledge of BS 7671.

On completion of the course, participants will be able to

• Design electrical installations, performing all necessary calculations
• Verify that a design complies with the Regulations
• Conduct an initial verification of a new electrical installation
• Conduct an initial inspection of an electrical installation
• Design, verify and inspect electrical installations in compliance with current safety legislation and BS7671.

Candidates are required to complete a 20-hour design project which involves the assessment of general characteristics, selection and erection and verification of an electrical installation.
