Watford PAT Testing Course Overview

Venue - Village Hotel, Elstree / Watford

Our North London PAT Testing course is held at our Watford venue, currently the Village Hotel Watford, which is conveniently located close to Elstree and the M1 / M25 motorway network. This makes the course easy to reach from Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Harrow, Barnet and across Hertfordshire and North London.

Many delegates also attend from Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the surrounding areas because the venue offers easy road access and free parking, which can be difficult to find at more central London locations.

We have previously run courses at the Hilton Watford and may use alternative venues in the Watford / North London area in the future, but all of our courses are held in comfortable hotel conference facilities with full refreshments included.

Our courses get excellent feedback and many of our bookings come from recommendations. We always base our training on common sense and lots of hands-on practical.

We run several courses a year in Watford, as well as many other venues across the UK. We run courses at other venues in London, including Croydon, Central London and Greenwich.

Who Attends Our Watford PAT Testing Course?

Our Watford PAT Testing course attracts delegates from across Hertfordshire, North London and the surrounding counties. We regularly train electricians, maintenance engineers, landlords, caretakers, facilities managers, health & safety staff and small business owners who need to carry out PAT Testing as part of their work.

Because the venue is located close to the M1 and M25, we often have people attend from Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Luton, Harrow, Barnet, Enfield, Stevenage and surrounding areas. Many organisations choose this venue because it offers easy access by car and convenient parking.

Some delegates attend because they need to test equipment within their own workplace, while others are planning to start a PAT Testing business or add PAT Testing to their existing electrical or maintenance work. The course is suitable for beginners as well as those with previous experience, and the practical format ensures that everyone leaves confident and able to carry out PAT Testing safely and correctly.

Numbers are limited on each course so that everyone has plenty of opportunity to ask questions and gain hands-on experience.

Important Information

Please note that, unlike some of the other courses advertised, we are NOT aligned to any specific manufacturer or distributor of PAT Testing equipment. This is not a sales seminar and there is no hard-sell on any of our events. Although we can, and do, provide advice on the best machines to buy, we always provide a mix of equipment on our courses and we do not 'push' or 'bias' towards any particular manufacturer. If you have a machine already, you are welcome to bring it with you, and if not, we'll give you UNBIASED advice on what machine will be best for you.

Our dates at Watford are extremely popular - dates often get booked up in advance; and we do restrict numbers very carefully to ensure social distancing. Contact us today to reserve your space on our Watford PAT Testing Course!
