Electrical Safety Training Course Certified Electrical Safety Course Online Ireland

Electricity gives no second warning: a frayed lead, a socket that runs hot or a cable hidden inside a wall can injure someone in a fraction of a second, and the person hurt is rarely the person who created the fault. Almost every workplace electrical incident traces back to a hazard nobody assessed, equipment nobody inspected or a control nobody put in place. The course takes that risk apart step by step, then shows you the controls that remove it. Four modules walk you through the whole discipline of electrical safety at work: why the training matters and the injuries unsafe practices cause, every step of the electrical risk assessment and the hierarchy of control, the practical controls that keep installations and equipment safe, properly protected and maintained, and the habits of safe work around electrical equipment, from pre-use checks and safe isolation to overhead power lines, underground cables and concealed wiring. Real workplace scenarios and clear photographs keep every lesson practical.

Section 8 and 10 is the short answer. The 2005 Act requires every Irish employer to provide the information, instruction and training needed to work safely, and for anyone whose work involves electrical equipment or installations that means electrical safety training before the risk is faced, not after. Our course is written directly against that wording, which is why it satisfies the duty rather than merely gesturing at it.

Workers of all levels whose activities involve electrical equipment or close contact with electrical installations, and the people who manage them: electricians, builders and construction workers, IT technicians, communications engineers, power and energy suppliers and engineers, appliance repair workers, PAT testers and cable engineers. It needs no previous experience or qualifications.

The Electrical Safety Training Course is €35.00 per person, and that is the full price. Team bookings get a volume discount applied automatically, and any 5 different courses cost just €100 flat (except our premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses, which keep their own price), with one invoice and one account for all your records.

Yes, the whole course is online and works on any phone, tablet or laptop. There is no classroom day and no fixed start time: register, log in and begin the Electrical Safety Training Course whenever it suits you, at home or on a break at work. Progress saves automatically as you go.

About 1-2 hours, and you do not have to do it in one sitting. Progress saves as you go, so you can stop after a lesson and pick it back up on another device. Your certificate is ready to download the moment you pass.

You download your Electrical Safety Training Course certificate as a PDF the moment you pass the exam, day or night. It shows your name, the course, the date and a verification link, so an employer or inspector can confirm it in seconds. A copy stays in your account whenever you need to print it again.

Renewal is recommended every three years, or sooner if your role, equipment or working environment change. We track the date for you and send a reminder before it lapses, so no certificate in your team expires without anyone noticing. The refresher is the same short online course, so staying compliant never costs a working day.

Nothing bad. You can retake the exam as many times as you need at no extra cost, and you can revisit any lesson before trying again. Most learners pass first time, because the questions test exactly what the course just taught.

This course is assessed by examination rather than by a practical, because the competence it builds is judgement rather than technique. You get unlimited attempts at the exam, at no extra cost.

Yes, and the platform is built for it. One company account covers every employee, shows you at a glance who has finished and who has not, stores every certificate in one place and gives you a single invoice for the lot. Group bookings get the volume discount applied automatically in your cart, and any 5 different courses cost just €100 flat (except our premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses, which keep their own price).

They do. We are an official accredited provider and the certificate carries a verification link an inspector can check in seconds. It is accepted by employers in Ireland, the UK and across the EU, and behind it stand our accreditations: HSA Compliant, QQI Assessed, CPD and RoSPA Accredited.

The whole discipline of electrical safety at work, across four modules: an introduction to electrical safety, the injuries unsafe practices cause and the legal duties of employers and employees; the electrical risk assessment, step by step, including the hierarchy of control and when an assessment must be reviewed; controlling hazards, from safe installations, fuses, circuit breakers and Residual Current Devices to pre-use checks, visual inspections and combined inspection and testing; and working safely with electrical equipment, including work near overhead power lines, underground cables and concealed wiring, fire and explosion risks and risks when working on machinery.

The duty comes from the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005: Section 8 requires every employer to provide the information, instruction and training needed to work safely, and Section 19 requires a written risk assessment of workplace hazards, electricity included. Part 3 of the General Application Regulations 2007 then sets specific duties for electricity at work, requiring installations and equipment to be constructed, maintained and used so they prevent danger. This course delivers and proves exactly that training.

The final test has 15 multiple choice questions drawn from all four modules, each with three answers to choose from. The pass mark is 75 percent, which means 12 correct answers out of 15. There is no clock running, and if the first attempt falls short you can revisit any module and retake the exam free of charge as many times as you need. The certificate is issued the moment you pass.

Instantly. The moment you pass the final test, the certificate is generated automatically, emailed to your inbox and saved on the Certificates page of your account. Most learners go from enrolment to a verifiable certificate in a single sitting of about 1-2 hours.

Workers of all levels whose activities involve electrical equipment or close contact with electrical installations: electricians, builders and construction workers, IT technicians, communications engineers, power and energy suppliers and engineers, appliance repair workers, PAT testers and cable engineers, plus the employers, managers and supervisors responsible for their safety. It is designed as an introduction, so no previous training is needed.

No. This is electrical safety awareness training: it teaches you to recognise electrical hazards, understand risk assessments and controls, and work safely with and around electrical equipment. It does not qualify you to carry out electrical work that Irish law reserves for a competent or authorised person, such as installation, repair or live working, and it does not remove the employer's duty to assess risks, maintain equipment and provide supervision. It is the safety awareness layer employers, inspectors and insurers expect everyone working near electricity to have.

Yes. The training is delivered 100 percent online, so an electrician in Tralee gets exactly the same accredited course and the same recognised certificate as an IT technician in Dublin. Start it on a laptop at work, continue on your phone between jobs and finish at home; progress follows you automatically between devices, and the certificate is accepted by employers and inspectors across Ireland, the UK and the EU.

The free Employer Dashboard is made for exactly that: enrol staff in bulk, assign the Electrical Safety Training Course to each person, follow live progress and keep every certificate in one screen, each one issued automatically as people pass. Checkout applies the discounts automatically, no codes needed: 15 percent off any 3 different courses, 10 percent off 10 or more courses, 20 percent off 50 or more, and any 5 different courses for a flat 100 euro (excludes the premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses).
