    CCTS runs the industry recognised City & Guilds 2391-50 (formerly known as City & Guilds 2394) RQF Level 3 Award in Initial Verification  of Electrical Installations or the recognised LCL Awards equivalent . This Testing and Inspection training course is for experienced electricians who wish to verify their own electrical installations. This qualification, replaces the City & Guilds 2394 Initial Verification  of Electrical Installations qualification.
