Great trainers, Dave and Jim. Great Office Manager, Dave Junior, Great clean training and non-training facilities, including free tea, coffee and quality biscuits. Great location with free parking.

Have been on various electrical courses with this centre over the last 10 years and have just re-validated my Part P qualification. Very relaxed and friendly learning environment, with extremely helpful staff and tutors. Would highly recommend.
Paul Smith
Recently attended to do my part p domestic electrician course as well as my 18th edition regs. Dave was superb and I managed to fly through both courses. I couldn’t recommend WMD Electrical Training enough to anyone wanting to learn a trade or progress in a trade. Any future courses will definitely be done here. Thanks again guys.

Frequently Asked Questions
The DTI Guide to Photovoltaic (PV) Installations is the current industry “Best Practice Guide” and has advice on earthing arrangements within it. The dti guide can be downloaded from our downloads page.
The guide is currently undergoing a re-write and will be rereleased very soon. The update will be available from our website as soon as it is released.
Anybody wishing to work as an electrician in the UK must be deemed as a competent person. According to the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and BS7671:2008 17th edition wiring regulations, a competent person is a person having sufficient knowledge and understanding and relevant practical experience of the particular type of work being undertaken, so as to prevent danger or injury to him / herself and others.
The basic qualifications recognised by most competent persons scheme are: 17th edition wiring regulations BS 7671:2008 and Part P wiring in domestic installations. This is dependent on the type of work the candidate is undertaking.
was asked this question recently by one of our regular Renewable energies clients who is installing an electric car charger at his business in Birmingham. The building is typical business park construction with large metal girders and metal skin. The earthing arrangement is TN-C-S.
The government steering group for this technology are currently writing the new standard for it and they have included the installation of an earth electrode if a TN-C-S arrangement is in use. I do not agree with them on this particular occasion but that’s my personal opinion. As the standard isn’t published there is no technical reason I can think of for complying with it, however, British Gas have already began to install to this standard so if the installation is being carried out by them then an electrode will be required.
