Introduction
This updated course covers the 4th Amendment to the 18th Edition of the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2018, Amendment 4:2026).
It is designed for candidates who have previously completed, as a minimum, the City & Guilds 2382-18 18th Edition Wiring Regulations qualification.
The course covers topics similar to those included in the full 18th Edition course. However, as candidates will already have a sound knowledge of the existing regulations, the updated requirements and changes can be covered in a shorter period.
The course is aimed at electrical personnel who are involved in the design, installation, inspection and management of electrical installations and need to work in accordance with the latest regulations.
If you are a practising electrician, it is important that you are familiar with the latest requirements for electrical installations under BS 7671:2018 (Amendment 4:2026).
