City and Guilds 2394 is essentially aimed at practicing electricians who have not yet carried out any extensive inspection and testing since obtaining the 17th edition or perhaps since qualifying; or who require some update of their training before going on to other City & Guilds qualifications.

The qualification may also be suitable for those with limited experience of initial verification and the inspection of electrical installations, and who have knowldge of electrical systems.

Although the course is principally designed for those who are already involved in the electrical industry, we suggest that those who are considering entering the industry, particularly from other engineering disciplines or who have been working in allied trades may find the course beneficial.
