Know how to carry out Portable Appliance Testing but not sure how to handle result recording, or the management of your, or your customer's assets?  Due to popular demand we have introduced a range of training courses for Seaward and SimplyPats Portable Appliance Testing Software.

These one day courses are designed to help you get the most from your software, your PAT Tester and ancillary equipment, and save you time and money, as well as improve  the performance of your PAT Testing Business, leading to improved customer service.

InTuition accept a maximum of 6 candidates on each software course, which enables us to give attention to individuals. We also provide  Laptops, and Software, for every candidate to practise with. Candidates can also bring their own software and equipment - see below*

A Certificate of Attendance is issued to candidates.

To book a place on a PAT Testing Software Course click here for venues and dates. You can book online, or pay by BACS, or by cheque.

We will email back your confirmation of booking.

If you book a PAT Training Course at the same time as booking a Software Course we offer a discounted package. Save £30. See below for details.

This offer is also valid for Candidates who have already attended one of our PAT Training Courses.

 

 

 

 

 

Why use PAT Testing Software?
PAT Testing Software automates the task of scheduling retests and speeds up result recording and the production of reports.  If you only have around say 200 items to test then a paper management system may suffice, but you can spend more time recording the data than actually testing the equipment.

Why attend our PAT Testing Software Course?
Being able to understand and fully utilise your PAT Testing Software will save you time and money and make you more efficient.  Your business reputation will gain from giving a more professional service to your customers. You could soon save the price of the course by making your PAT Testing business more cost-effective.

Not bought your software yet?
Not sure which to buy?  These courses give you the chance to try out your preferred software before you buy, as well as training you how to use it. With the cost of PAT Testing Software starting at around £350 + VAT, it can save you making an expensive mistake.

What type of software is covered in your courses?
Currently, we train the Seaward range of software (PatGuard Lite®, PaTGuard Pro® and PatGuard Elite®), and RSR Systems' SimplyPats®, as these are the ones we are asked about the most often.  We may add Robin's PowerPat Plus®  later, if we get sufficient demand.

What do I need?
We provide everything that you will need on the day (see
What's Included?). Every candidate has the use of a laptop and software, a PAT tester to download/upload to, and access to a printer to produce reports.

No previous knowledge of the Software is required as the training courses are fully comprehensive. They are suitable for beginners, with only basic or no knowledge of their software, or for those already working in the PAT Testing field wishing to upgrade their test equipment and working methods.

To get the best from your software it is highly recommended that you already hold a Certificate of Competence in Portable Appliance Testing.  We offer a package deal if you book a PAT testing Course at the same time as the Software Course. Save £30 - see below for details

*Delegates are also welcome to bring their own laptop, PAT Tester and software. Please note: although the trainer can help you resolve downloading problems, show you how to set up your software etc, they do not have time during the course to resolve any PC problems, or difficulties with Windows
® software etc, as this would not be fair on the other candidates.

See below for course dates and venues.
