ELECSA Certification Scheme Testing Equipment for Elecsa assessment

[hutch6447]

Hi, firstly i am hutch and i am just leaving the forces i am a trained sparky but have loaded myself on the course to get the up to date 17th edition and also pat testing and testing and inspection in line qualifications. The volt meter and proving unit does this need to be calibrated for the assessment i am thinking of getting the martindale vipd voltage tester & proving unit? Has anyone got advice on that and also a few tips for the elecsa assessment Cheers![h=1][/h]

Hi thanks for reply, quick question are the assessments harsh or are they there to help you out.

Dont need a proving unit mate at least £50 odd for one of those and you dont need it....just a known source such as the incoming side of a double pole switch as found in dis-boards etc......either an MFT....multi-function-tester or a selection of separate testers with current callibration cert and the appropriate test leads in good condition.....GN3 OSG and the BRB/BGB n all........
