Due to changes to BS 7671:2008 which come into effect from 1 January 2012, a number of City & Guilds courses are affected by the changes:

• 2382 Requirement for Electrical Installations
• 2391-10 Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations
• 2391-20 Design, Erection and Verification of Electrical Installations
• 2392 Fundamental Inspection, Testing and Initial Verification
• 2330 Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology
• 2356 Electrotechnical Services NVQ
• 2357 NVQ Diploma in Electrotechnical Technology

2391-10 Inspection Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations will be replaced by the following new qualifications which are due to be launched on 26th November 2011.

• 2394 Level 3 Initial Verification of Electrical Installations
• 2395 Level 3 Periodic Inspection, Testing and Reporting of Electrical Installations
• 2396 Level 4 Design of Electrical Installations

KITS have taken the decision to no longer deliver the 2391-10 qualification as registrations close on 31 December 2011 and it is not anticipated that candidates who hold 2391 units will be able to use these towards the new qualifications.

Full details of the new qualifications are expected from City & Guilds later this month; KITS will then publish course dates, costs and duration.
