Electrical training firm launches needs analysis service ~ Free package to help delegates decide on the most appropriate course, methodology and structure for their needs ~ Total Electrical Training has launched a free training needs analysis service designed to help clients decide on the most appropriate way to ensure their staff have the skills required to operate in the dynamic electrical contracting sector.

The electrical contracting sector has changed radically in the last five years, with the overhaul of the building regulations, notably Part P, which deals with electrical safety in dwellings.

Furthermore, the industry is set to further develop with the introduction of the 17th edition of the wiring regulations over the next twelve months.

"We introduced the training needs analysis to help businesses deal with their increasing complex needs," explained Chris Atkin, managing director of Total Electrical Training.

"These needs are influenced by regulatory requirements as well as the nature of the business for which we are providing training".

"The company's size, clientele, internal needs, staff and current level of sophistication will all combine to determine their eventual requirements".

"Often a firm's most pressing needs isn't the reason its representatives contact us in the first instance." The training needs analysis is open to any company in the electrical sector, irrespective of size.

It consists of a telephone questionnaire in the first instance, which can be quite short if the requirements it produces are simple.

If the requirements are more complex, a site visit is sometimes completed".

"The end result might be a tailored course, meeting exactly the requirements of an international giant and delivered at its premises," explained Chris.

"Equally it could be that we simply suggest a small contractor brush up on his testing and inspecting skills before undergoing City and Guilds 2391".

"In this instance we would confirm that he could visually verify a site, carry out calculations using Ohms law, recognise values on test equipment, carry out the full range of functional tests safely and in the correct order, safely isolate an electrical supply, transpose test results onto a schedule and fill out a periodic test report".
