18th Edition Course Bradford

18th Edition Electrical Course (BS 7671:2018+A4:2026) — Now Available in Bradford & West Yorkshire ⚡

If you are an electrician, contractor or electrical professional working in Bradford, Leeds, Halifax, Shipley, Bingley, Keighley, Ilkley, Otley, Dewsbury, Cleckheaton or anywhere across West Yorkshire, there has never been a more important time to ensure your 18th Edition qualification is current. BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 — the Amendment 4 update to the IET Wiring Regulations published in April 2026 — is the standard every electrician working across Bradford and West Yorkshire must now comply with, and a valid City & Guilds 2382-26 certificate is the recognised proof of that compliance.

At MJ Electrical Training, we make the process straightforward, flexible and affordable — a fully online course you can study from anywhere across Bradford and West Yorkshire, with weekly exam availability and two conveniently located exam centres in Leeds and Halifax, both within easy reach of the city.

Why Bradford Electricians Need to Act Now

Bradford is one of the North’s most significant construction and regeneration cities. From the ambitious Bradford City Village regeneration project and the ongoing transformation of the city centre to large-scale residential development across Shipley, Bingley and Eccleshill, and from the busy domestic installation market across the Bradford district to the commercial and industrial sites that remain central to the local economy, electricians across Bradford are working on a wide and varied range of installations every day — all of which must comply with the current version of BS 7671.

Amendment 4 (A4:2026), published in April 2026, introduces changes that matter in practice across Bradford and West Yorkshire. Updates to stationary secondary batteries (Chapter 57), prosumer installations and solar PV systems (Chapter 82), safety services (Chapter 56), surge protective devices, and revised model certification forms for EICs, EICRs and MEIWCs all affect how electrical work is designed, installed and certified across the region. If your certificate predates April 2026 or was issued under an earlier version of the 18th Edition, it does not reflect the current standard.

The City & Guilds 2382-26 exam has been fully updated to cover the A4 changes. Passing it demonstrates to employers, main contractors and clients across Bradford and West Yorkshire that your knowledge is current — increasingly a baseline expectation for anyone working professionally on electrical installations across the region.

Both NICEIC and NAPIT require their approved contractors to hold a valid, up to date 18th Edition qualification. If your certificate has lapsed or predates Amendment 4, your scheme membership may be at risk — getting certified now protects your professional standing and your ability to self-certify electrical work across Bradford and West Yorkshire.

Bradford’s active construction and regeneration sector also means many site electricians need both a current 18th Edition certificate and a valid site access card. If you need to renew or obtain your ECS Card, CSCS Card or SHEA Power Card, our sister company MJ Training Solutions delivers specialist health and safety site access training weekly online via MS Teams — no classroom days, no travel required.

Study Online — From Bradford or Anywhere Across West Yorkshire

Our 18th Edition course is 100% online and completely self-paced, making it the ideal solution for busy working electricians across Bradford and the surrounding area. Whether you are running domestic jobs across Manningham, Heaton and Allerton, covering commercial contracts in the city centre, working on new build developments across Shipley and Bingley, or travelling between jobs across the wider West Yorkshire district, you can work through the course material at your own pace without any disruption to your working week.

There are no fixed classroom sessions, no early starts for a training centre and no need to take time off work to complete the course. You log into our online platform, work through the content when it suits you and book your exam when you feel confident and ready — either from home via our fully invigilated webcam system or at one of our two conveniently located centres in Leeds or Halifax.

The course is built around the current BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 standard, is fully aligned with the City & Guilds 2382-26 syllabus and covers everything you need to pass the exam and apply the updated regulations confidently across Bradford, West Yorkshire and beyond.

📚 What the Course Covers

Our course content follows the full structure of BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 and includes:

• Scope and fundamental principles of electrical installation design and practice
• Key updates introduced by Amendment 4 — what has changed and what it means for your work across West Yorkshire
• Protection against electric shock, overcurrent, overvoltage and fire
• Wiring systems and installation methods, including cable selection and reference methods
• Special installations and locations — Part 7 requirements including bathrooms, EV charging and solar PV
• Prosumer installations — the new Chapter 82 requirements, increasingly relevant to Bradford’s growing residential solar and battery storage market
• Stationary secondary batteries — updated Chapter 57
• Inspection, testing and certification — Part 6 requirements and the updated model certification forms
• Appendices including updated tables, correction factors and earthing guidance

The exam is an open-book, 2-hour, 60-question multiple-choice paper. You use your copy of BS 7671 throughout — exactly as the City & Guilds 2382-26 assessment is designed to be taken. Our course builds the navigational confidence to work through the regulations quickly and accurately under timed conditions — the skill that makes all the difference on the day.
