What you’ll learn

This practical workshop is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to understand electrical systems in mobile environments – from gazebos and trailers to generators and inverters. 

It will explore real-world electrical risks, common mistakes and practical solutions, helping you recognise hazards before they become dangerous problems 

Training is approximately 4 hours from 9.30am-1.30pm.

What’s covered?

Understand different power supplies
Get to grips with mains supplies, generators and inverters – and understand when and how they should be used. Including the advantages and disadvantages of different types of generators, as well as the potential issues that can arise when the electrical supply is incorrectly sized for the combined demand of multiple appliances or prolonged use.  

Mobile electrics
Learn about electrical systems in gazebos, vehicles and trailers, including the issues that can arise in temporary and mobile installations and with the use of outdoor electrics in wet weather conditions. 

Spot hazards before they cause harm
Identify common electrical mistakes and significant hazards, with practical guidance on how to prevent them. 

Know what good compliance looks like
Explore electrical certificates, reports, safety regulations and key industry guidance, so you can better understand what should be in place. 

Understand competence and qualifications
Learn about the qualifications and competencies expected of electrical engineers working with mobile installations. 

Make use of NCASS resources
Discover the electrical safety resources available through NCASS and how they can support safer working practices. 

Learn from real-life scenarios
Work through relevant case studies that bring the theory to life and highlight what can go wrong – and how to avoid it. 

Most importantly, this is an interactive session 

There’s plenty of opportunity to ask questions, discuss real-life situations and share your own experiences, of inspecting mobile and outdoor electrical systems. 

By the end of the course, you’ll have: 

• A clearer understanding of outdoor and mobile electrical supplies and installations. 

• Greater awareness of electrical hazards and common mistakes. 

• Better knowledge of safety regulations and guidance. 

• Increased confidence in understanding certificates and reports. 

• Practical insights you can apply to your routine and event safety interventions. 

• The opportunity to learn from industry experiences and fellow trainees. 

This workshop will help you make safer, more informed decisions. 

The workshop will be delivered by the NCASS Gas Safety Consultant, a qualified gas and electrical engineer with extensive industry experience.  

Training will be delivered online via Microsoft Teams on the selected dates.  

Following completion of the workshop, delegates will receive supporting materials, handouts and a CPD certificate.
