You may have noticed the prominence given to surge protection in the latest version of the wiring regs. This is alerting you to consider providing surge protection on most of the new jobs that you do.  The point being that without electricity, buildings are sent straight back to the stone age. It only takes one big surge to permanently damage fixed wiring insulation requiring it to be

According to a report in The Sunday Times newspaper at the weekend, the Energy Secretary Chris Huhne is planning to replace all petrol and diesel cars with electric vehicles by 2050.  This scheme is designed to slowly replace Britain's use of fossil fuels such as petrol and gas with electricity generated by low-carbon technologies such as wind power.  He also plans that electricity should become

City & Guilds have announced that new registrations for the 2391 will close on 31st December 2011 and exams will cease during the summer of 2012*. This means if you have already achieved a ‘pass’ in either the practical assessment or the written exam but still need to obtain the other element, time is running out for you to complete the 2391 qualification. 2391 written examination dates are on

I am very pleased to announce that after a lot of work, PTT have been awarded ISO 9001 accreditation from BSI.  What this means in plain English is that we now have a Quality Policy which ensures all our procedures and policies meet required standards and that we have checks in place to ensure that all our students get the training of the highest quality. We also have another nice certificate to

We have had excellent results from the December 2391-10 course - some 85.7% of our students passed the written element of the exam, with 100% also passing the practical element. To try and increase the impact of our webiste, a three-minute video has been commissioned.  It will be shot on Wednesday this week and should appear on YouTube and our webiste in a couple of weeks. Look out for us in

After consulting with our City & Guilds External Verifier, we have learnt that the present Solar Voltaic qualification is due to be updated and expanded to include other types of SSEG; wind turbines, heat pumps . . . . Whilst we will continue to develop a course for solar pv we will not 'go live' until the details of the new course become clearer. In the meantime we are proposing to run a one

We have been looking into the possibility of providing a course leading to the City and Guilds Certificate in Installing and Testing Domestic Photovoltaic Systems (2372). Having seen the syllabus this proves to be a very demanding course which includes amongst other things; working at heights, roofing skills and some electronics as wells as mainstream electrical know-how. It also has become

Students on our Advanced Periodic course a couple of weeks ago went and did a periodic inspection on a one-bedroomed rental flat in the local area.  Although small, this installation yielded an impressive number of non-compliances including:- * Class 1 light fitting in bathroom - not earthed * Bathroom extractor fan - no means of isolation * Insulation resistance on lighting circuit less than

We're currently in discussion with several local hotels to obtain the best rates for our students.  So far we have negotiated deals with The Rose and Crown in Tring and The Holiday Inn, Aston Clinton Road, Aylesbury. We're going to have a look round The Holiday Inn on Friday so we can report back on its facilities, but we're told it has a swimming pool, gym and widescreen TV in the bar.  Other
