Try the work

Learn by doing a trade task

Explore a wiring, testing or fault-finding rig. Change the setup, see what happens, and try another scenario. These are the same interactive exercises used in lessons. Your practice here is not scored or saved.

Pick a task

Choose a rig and a scenario. You can switch whenever you like.

Doing it yourself? Read this first

Some electrical work in your own home is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations — a new circuit, a consumer-unit change, or work in a room with a bath or shower — and you cannot certify it yourself. There are two lawful routes and only two: an electrician registered with a competent-person scheme certifies and notifies it, or you tell your local authority building control before you start and pay for the inspection. Part P covers England and Wales, and Wales notifies more kinds of work than England does; Scotland and Northern Ireland run their own building standards. Every job, notifiable or not, still has to meet BS 7671. We teach you how the work is done and why — finishing a lesson is not a certificate, and it does not make you a competent person under any scheme.

Consumer unit — wire the board

Fit a main switch, choose a protective device for every way, and terminate line, neutral and protective conductor so the board reads right.

Scenario

Wire four ways across two RCD banks and keep the lighting circuits apart.
