18th Edition courses explained.
Due an update, or sitting it for the first time? These answers explain which wiring regulations course you need.
If you have never held the qualification, take the full 18th Edition. If you already hold it, the shorter Amendment 4 update brings you up to date with the latest changes without repeating the whole syllabus.
No, but you need working knowledge of electrical installations. These are technical courses covering how to navigate and apply BS 7671, not an introduction to electrics.
Alongside electricians, we train plumbers, gas engineers, kitchen and bathroom fitters, builders and maintenance technicians who carry out fixed electrical work and need to demonstrate current regulations knowledge. Electrical apprentices also take it as part of their route to qualification.
The Amendment 4 update is different, since it assumes you already hold the 18th Edition and only covers what has changed.

Training is not formally mandatory before sitting the exam, but we deliver the 18th Edition as a taught course rather than as an exam-only booking.
The assessment is open book, which leads some candidates to assume preparation is optional. In practice the exam tests how quickly and accurately you can navigate BS 7671 under time pressure, and candidates who arrive without structured preparation often struggle. That is more true of Amendment 4 than previous versions, given the new chapters it introduces.
If you have a specific reason for needing an exam-only sitting, speak to our team and we will tell you what we can arrange.

BS 7671 is not law in itself, but it is the recognised standard for UK electrical installations and is used to demonstrate compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations. Competent Persons Schemes require current 18th Edition knowledge for membership.
Amendments are issued periodically rather than on a fixed cycle. Amendment 4 is the most recent, published in April 2026, with the previous version being withdrawn in October 2026.
Because schemes and employers expect current knowledge, most electricians take a short update course each time an amendment lands rather than waiting for a new edition. If you hold an earlier certificate, the 18th Edition course page sets out exactly what the transition means for you.
