Electrical Design Courses & Regulations Recommendations (London, UK)

Morning All


Somewhat out of touch with training courses (due to my age) and was simply wondering if anyone has any recommendations for electrical training courses for young up and coming engineers who wish to learn about electrical design (building services) and to gain a better understanding of the regulations (BS7671 etc.)


Any suggestions or recommendations would be hugely appreciated.  Looking preferably around the London area (unless online of course).


Thanks

    2396 in a week! Learners would be swamped! That seems to be the way things are with electrical installation training, courses crammed into days when they really should be allocated months! 

    It looks like the traditional approach where FE colleges offered courses like 2396 over 32 weeks usually with 3 hours class time each week has given way to this almost obscene notion that material can be stuffed down a candidate’s throat in a few days and the same learning outcomes achieved.


    Well said Lyle.

    I totally endorse and agree with thoughts of lyledunn and Zoomup.


    When will people understand that intense delivery of information and shortening of attendance time is better. If one provider indicates they can deliver in a week, somebody else says fourdays. So what on earth do the "purchasers" expect? its a tickbox excersise by far too many HR departments and companies get the training booked on the shortest duration time period to save costs of attending and indirect costs on the buisness, hope the candidate gets the award/cert, then they think fantastic they have the cert/award and can now put everything into practice as a competant person.
