Virtual College launches new 18th Edition courses

Online compliance training platform, Virtual College, has launched a new 18th Edition Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671 course, including Amendment 4 updates.

The course is available exclusively through the Virtual College platform and the NICEIC, the leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry.

The e-learning course provides a complete introduction to the full scope of current regulations and the latest requirements of BS 7671 to support electricians with accurate, compliant decision-making across installation and inspection work. 

Virtual College has also launched a CPD-accredited 18th Edition Amendment 4 Workshop, suitable for electricians who currently work with BS 7671 in practice, and want a clear, up-to-date understanding of the Amendment 4 changes. Virtual College is offering a 20% discount on both courses for a limited time only.

Laura Cooper, Marketing Director at Virtual College, said:

“The 18th Edition BS 7671 course including Amendment 4 updates is an essential requirement for every practicing electrician. The latest changes introduce new requirements around ICT systems, battery storage, PoE distribution and energy efficiency, and our full course and additional workshop ensures both experienced professionals remain compliant and new entrants are fully qualified in line with these updated standards.

“We’re proud to offer a course that supports improved safety across the industry, and to be the only platform delivering it outside of NICEIC, the official body for electrical contracting certification.”
