- Electricians
Electricians have vast knowledge and experience on electrical industry. They may already know all about PAT testing but getting certified as a PAT testing person still add more value to their career. Electricians can participate in PAT training course (one day) and face the PAT testing exam to get certificate. Sometimes, there may be new facts for electricians to learn about PAT testing which they did not know before. Examples would be safety procedures, documentation, reporting, working with business employees, using PAT testers and tools etc. One day PAT test training program would be more than enough for them to grab all the knowledge about PAT testing and successfully pass the examination.
2) Entrepreneurs who are looking forward to establish their own PAT testing company
The entrepreneurs can start either PAT testing company or PAT testing course providing company. Entrepreneurs themselves can be a participant for the PAT testing course to gain knowledge and practical experience or they can make their PAT testing company employees (recruits) participate in such training courses. This could be very help for the starting PAT testing companies as they may not have required resources such as tools, space, time etc to conduct their own PAT training program.
3) Individuals who are willing to work as PAT testing experts
Even the UK lawsuit does not specifically mention the credentials that someone should have in order to do the PAT testing, it is very important for PAT testing individuals to get certified as PAT testing experts to have access to more work opportunities. Participating in recognized PAT training course would be the most convenient way for them to be certified PAT testing experts.
4) Businesses which want to have in-house PAT testing team
Businesses can directly have services from PAT testing company to arrange their PAT test. But, since they have to do the PAT test once a year or at least two to three years, having in-house PAT testing team could save the cost. There are businesses that work with many electrical appliances regularly which may lead to conduct several PAT tests within short time periods. Those businesses can have their own set of employees as PAT testing experts by offering training to them on PAT.
