An introduction to TTS Training

TTS Training is an established, professional organisation that offers a range of training courses to it's clients. One of TTS Training's main function is delivering PAT Training Courses to a wide variety of businesses in both the private and public sector. TTS training has a long established history of providing excellent, quality assured and highly regarded training package in many organisations.

The benefits of providing in-house training

There are several benefits to holding an PAT Test Courses on site, as opposed to employing a contractor to carry out the PAT testing when it is needed. Firstly, providing PAT training courses for your own staff will work out cheaper, and be a considerable cost saving to he organisation. You will be paying for one training course, up front, as opposed to regularly be paying a contractor's call out charge and cost of doing the work regularly.

Secondly, it is more convenient to have an employee who works on site able to carry out PAT testing for you. This means that when you have a new electrical item that needs to be PAT tested before you use it, then there will not be a delay in waiting for a contractor to attend the site, as your own employee will be able to do it for you instead. You will therefore be able to use the new item immediately, which of course brings significant benefits to you and your business.

The convenience of having an employee who can carry out PAT testing also means that it is likely to be much more easy to ensure you are regularly re-testing equipment before the date of expiry of the last test. It could be worked into your employee's job plan to be regularly auditing dates that items need re-testing by, keeping a log, and performing the testing when needed. An employee doing this means that the organisation has much tighter control over the PAT testing process, at a fraction of the cost of contracting this out to another business.

Allowing your own staff to undergo PAT test courses is also an excellent development opportunity for them, allowing them to develop new skills and experience. This is really important for the business and demonstrates commitment to employee's personal development.

There are several benefits, therefore, of TTS holding in house training sessions for all your PAT testing needs. With the reassurance of an established, professional company, combined with high quality trainers with a commitment to quality assurance, we are sure to develop a robust training plan for all your business needs.

Portable appliance testing is needed on all electrical devices used by employees of a business and it is the responsibility of the business owner to make sure this is done regularly and properly.

How often does PAT testing need to be done?

The use and type of equipment determines how often checks need to be carried out. A lightly-used appliance that stays in one position all the time, like a fax machine or a laminator, might need checking once a year or possibly even less. On the other hand, a highly-used appliance that is moved around a lot, such as a kettle, power tools or a laptop, needs testing much more often to ensure it’s not dangerous to use. Some businesses have a large number of appliances, and they all need to be tested and written records should be kept in order to show this has been carried out. It can be a big, time-consuming job. Calling in an electrician each and every time could work out to be expensive.

Is there a way I can save on PAT testing?

You can bring PAT testing in house to reduce the costs. This doesn't mean having an electrician on your payroll - this can be achieved by having a reliable member of your staff attend one of our PAT training courses and then they will be fully qualified to carry out the checks. With the proper training, a maintenance team or practically minded individual can do all the testing required and keep all the written records up to date.

Where does the training course take place?

We can bring our PAT training courses to you, anywhere in the UK. We arrive with everything that is necessary to carry out the 1-day course, and you can have as many people attend as you feel is beneficial to bringing your PAT testing in house.

There is absolutely no previous experience or qualification needed, you choose the person or people who you feel is best suited to carrying out regular in-house PAT testing. They will be shown how to check each appliance properly, how often this needs to be done, and how to keep suitable records to prove this has been carried out thoroughly.

Arranging this 1-day course in your work place will help you save on PAT testing costs. An in-house tester will also benefit your business because checks can be carried out when they are convenient to your business. If it is better for you, your in-house tester can perform work outside of normal operating hours, like later at night or over the weekend.

Bringing your PAT testing in house will save your business money and inconvenience while at the same time bringing all the control back to you.
