Stay up-to-date with the latest electrical regulations. Our 18th Edition Top Up Course is specifically designed for professionals who need to update their knowledge to include the new criteria in BS 7671 Amendment 4 (2026). This course is essential for anyone currently working in the electrical industry and is recommended for holders of the original BS 7671 Amendment 4 (2026) qualification.

Who is this Course For?

This course is a top-up qualification, meaning you must already hold a current 18th Edition qualification to enrol. It’s the perfect solution for:

  • Qualified electricians
  • Electrical contractors
  • Anyone in the industry with the previous 18th Edition certification

If you do not have the current 18th Edition qualification, we offer a comprehensive 3-day course.

 

What You’ll Learn

This is a theory-based qualification delivered in a classroom setting. The training session will equip you with the knowledge to understand and apply the latest regulations. Key learning points include:

  • In-depth Review: Work through our centre’s copies of the BS 7671 Amendment 4 (2026) manuals and practice papers.
  • Key Updates: A dedicated PowerPoint presentation will cover all the new additions and changes since the 2015 regulations.
  • Practical Application: Our training provides the context and understanding needed to pass the final assessment.

We provide copies of the BS 7671 Amendment 4 (2026) manual for use during the course, but you are welcome to bring your own.

 

Assessment & Certification

The qualification is assessed via an online, multiple-choice theory exam.

  • Questions: The exam consists of 60 questions.
  • Duration: You will have 2 hours to complete the paper.
  • Pass Mark: A score of 60% or above is required to pass.

Can’t thank the team enough at HTAA for the 15 days I’d spent in centre doing my gas course, big thanks to Jake , Luke and Howard for their delivery of the classes and the knowledge they have to pass on was amazing! can’t recommend here enough. From the initial sign up with the office to completing the 15 days in centre it was smooth sailing and you felt included and part of a team. Look forward to re attending to do my in centre bits of the portfolio☺️ big thanks to John too for running such a welcoming and great place, all the staff always have a smile and up for a laugh and that’s a credit to himself and them all!

Another successful week with HTAA, this time completing my F Gas Qualification. Tom did a great job of working through the theory, facts and figures and we had plenty of time in the bays getting hands on to practice with the equipment. It was a 10 man group of big personalities but Tom kept us all in check and on exam day I certainly got the impression we were all feeling well prepared and positive. Nice to meet the boss man John who popped in to say hello and a particular thanks to the girls in the office who were keeping things ship shape!! Thanks and see you soon for the F Gas update

Just completed the F gas course and training with Tom. He is a master of his craft and great practical teacher. He took tricky concepts and broke them down so they were easy to understand, and gave real world scenarios that you could come across. I highly recommend this “cool” course.

I’m about three-quarters of the way through my new entrant domestic gas MLP course, and feel like I’ve come miles—and that’s thanks to the incredible people here! Firstly, Amber has been a standout from day one! - so personable, so welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable you feel like you belong instantly. She’s always at the end of the phone, ready to help with anything, and she somehow makes even exam day feel relaxed. Amber’s a real gem—if I were the manager, she’d be getting top marks all day long for sure! And then there’s Jake. The man is a phenomenal trainer. He’s clearly sharp as a knife, but what blows me away is how he makes everything accessible for someone who started from scratch, like me. He breaks down even the trickiest concepts so simply that you walk away thinking, “I’ve got this.” I mean, I went from not knowing one end of a spanner to confidently gas rating lol - If you’re an absolute newbie, like me, this new entrant gas course at Hampshire Training Centre is an absolute must. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat! What’s also incredible is that the Centre is one of the only places I found, after scouring the country, that actually lets you complete your portfolio work with them as part of the course. That’s huge! It means I’m not just learning—I’m building my portfolio right there. So, if you’re starting from scratch and wondering where to go, look no further. Between Amber’s support, Jake’s expert training, Johns vision and the portfolio setup, this is where you want to be. I didn’t get as much time with the other ladies in the office or every trainer, but just from being around them, it’s clear how approachable everyone is. The atmosphere here ifantastic across the board. Honestly, I can’t say enough good things—everyone’s made this journey feel welcoming and positive. Thanks guys!
