I wonder if anyone can help or advise me on a course of action.
I am health and safety manager at a student union of a university and as such deal with a very wide portfolio of activities. One area where I am regularly asked questions because we run a theatre and lots of events is around the question of electrical safety and temporary electrical installations. My knowledge is this area is somewhat limited and I am looking at how I can increase this.
Does anyone have any recommendations of courses that I could take which do not require a high level of electrical knowledge already which would assist with what I am doing, and that I can persuade work to pay for!!

thanks

Some companies run a basic electrical course for non technical people. Your best bet is to contact NICEIC or click the link below which may help you.
