The course is specifically aimed at existing practicing electricians, electrical technicians, and engineers with experience of electrical installations, and associated inspection and testing and giving them the necessary training to upskill their existing skills to install EESS.

The course material has been designed to meet the requirements of dedicated electrical energy storage systems (EESS) in accordance with the IET Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems and the MCS Battery Standard MIS 3012. The installation of these EESS is work that can be carried out by competent, qualified operatives holding appropriate pre-requisite qualifications and the aim of the training course is to ensure individuals have the knowledge and required skills to carry out this work. Certificates are normally valid for five years.

The course and manual cover:

  • Section 1 – Introduction to Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS) (battery storage)
  • Section 2 – Legislation, Standards, and Industry guidance
  • Section 3 – Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS)
  • Section 4 – Preparation for Design and Installation
  • Section 5 – Design and Installation
  • Exercises (example of MGD-003 method)
  • Section 6 – Initial Verification Methods Relevant to EESS)
  • Section 7 – Handover and DNO Notification
  • Appendix A – References & Related Documents
  • Appendix B – Abbreviations & Specialist Terms
  • Appendix C – Answers to Exercises in Section 5

 

Assessments consist of a combination of practical and theory examinations. 

 

Prerequisites

Trainees should hold a formal craft qualification for example:

N/SVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation (Buildings and Structures)
or equivalent earlier certification and 18th Edition

Delegates will need to provide photo ID and bring a passport photo on the start day.
