Try the local colleges, they are normally the best vaule for money, or go further and you could do a basic course in a day.

PAT is only really about safety testing of electrical items.

I did a basic course but then wanted to know more so i did day release at college for a city and guilds qualification which was in depth but good.

If its just to test your own gear then you can do an online one. Register, they'll send you a dvd to watch. You then log on and answer a multiple choice test. Costs about £60.

Thanks for the replies... I need to do a comprehensive course so I can test other people's electrical equipment as well as my own...
