The Authorised Person Low Voltage (AP LV) course provides delegates with the knowledge, understanding, and practical confidence required to safely manage, operate, and control Low Voltage electrical systems up to 1,000V AC. The course is designed to support individuals who are, or will be, appointed as Authorised Persons under an organisation’s Electrical Safety Rules or Safe Systems of Work.
Training focuses on electrical safety, safe isolation, LV system operation, switching procedures, documentation, and the responsibilities associated with the Authorised Person role. Delegates will take part in both theory and practical exercises to ensure they can apply safe working practices in real-world environments.
