Electrical Safety Training Course Electricity at Work, Certified Across Ireland

Electricity is the one workplace hazard you cannot see, hear or smell until it strikes, and at 230 volts an ordinary Irish socket already carries enough current to kill. Most electrical accidents at work trace back to something small that nobody checked: a damaged lead, an overloaded extension, a drill that met a cable hidden in the wall. The course takes that risk apart step by step, then shows you the controls that remove it. This course treats electricity the way the HSA does: as a hazard you engineer out before you rely on anyone's reflexes. Four modules move from how electric shock, burns, fire and explosion actually happen and the duties the 2005 Act and Part 3 of the 2007 Regulations create, through the electrical risk assessment and the hierarchy of control, into the protective measures that do the heavy lifting: maintenance, reduced voltage, safe isolation, fuses, circuit breakers and RCDs, before finishing with the daily habits around equipment: pre-use checks, inspection and testing, overhead lines and buried cables. Real scenarios and clear photographs carry every lesson.

Part 3, GA Regs 2007 is the short answer. The General Application Regulations 2007 devote Part 3 entirely to electricity: installations and equipment must be constructed, maintained and protected so that danger is prevented, which makes electrical safety a named legal duty, not good practice. Our course is written directly against that wording, which is why it satisfies the duty rather than merely gesturing at it.

Anybody who works with electricity or near it: electricians and electrical contractors, construction and site workers, IT and telecoms technicians, appliance repair and maintenance staff, facilities teams, warehouse operatives, kitchen and retail staff who rely on powered equipment all day, farmers working near overhead lines, and the owners, managers and supervisors responsible for all of them. No previous experience or qualifications are needed.

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 equipment, duties or work 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.

Electricity at work from every angle, across four modules: how electric shock affects the body and why voltage, current and the path through the body decide the outcome; the main causes of electrical accidents and the duties the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and Part 3 of the General Application Regulations 2007 create; the electrical risk assessment step by step, from spotting damaged leads and overloaded circuits to the hierarchy of control; the protective measures that make electricity safe, including safe isolation, fuses, circuit breakers and RCDs; and safe daily work with electrical equipment, from pre-use checks and appliance testing to overhead power lines, buried services and concealed cables.

Section 8 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 obliges every employer to provide the information, instruction, training and supervision needed for safe work, and Part 3 of the General Application Regulations 2007 adds specific duties for electrical installations and equipment. Wherever a risk assessment identifies electrical hazards, and almost every workplace has them, training staff to recognise and control those hazards is how the employer meets both duties. This course is built to satisfy exactly that requirement.

There are 15 multiple choice questions drawn from all four modules, each with three answer options. The pass mark is 75 percent, which means 12 correct answers out of 15. The test has no time limit, retakes are free and unlimited, and the certificate is generated the moment you pass.

Immediately after passing. The certificate lands in your email automatically and stays available on the Certificates page of your account, complete with a unique code any employer or inspector can verify online. Most learners finish the whole course in a single sitting of 1 to 2 hours.

No. This is awareness level training: it teaches you to recognise electrical hazards, work safely around electricity and understand the controls that prevent accidents. It does not authorise you to install, repair or modify electrical systems. In Ireland that work belongs to competent persons, and domestic installation work is restricted to Registered Electrical Contractors under the Safe Electric scheme. What this course gives every other worker is the knowledge that keeps them out of harm's way.

Anyone whose day brings them close to electricity, which in practice is nearly everyone: electricians and their apprentices, builders and site crews, IT and telecoms technicians, appliance repair staff, maintenance and facilities teams, warehouse and kitchen staff using powered equipment, farmers working near overhead lines, and the managers and supervisors who assess the risks and plan the work.

Yes. The course is 100 percent online, so an electrician in Kerry gets exactly the same accredited training and recognised certificate as a facilities manager in Dublin. Start on any device, pause whenever the job interrupts and pick up where you left off; your progress saves automatically and the certificate is accepted across Ireland, the UK and the EU.
