18th Edition A4 Course

18th Edition Electrical Course (BS 7671:2018+A4:2026) — Study Online & Get Certified Fast ⚡

If you work in electrical installation, maintenance, design or inspection anywhere in the UK, there has never been a more important time to ensure your qualifications are current. The release of BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 — the latest Amendment 4 update to the IET Wiring Regulations — means that electricians, contractors and engineers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland need to update their knowledge and hold a valid City & Guilds 2382-26 certification to demonstrate compliance with the current standard.

At MJ Electrical Training, we make that process straightforward, affordable and flexible — with a fully online 18th Edition course available to professionals anywhere in the UK, backed by expert support and weekly exam availability.

What Is the 18th Edition and Why Does Amendment 4 Matter?

The 18th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2018) is the benchmark standard governing the design, installation, inspection and testing of electrical systems in the UK. It is not optional — compliance is a legal and professional requirement for anyone working on electrical installations.

Amendment 4 (A4:2026), published in April 2026, introduces significant updates across multiple parts of the regulations. Key changes affect areas including stationary secondary batteries (Chapter 57), prosumer installations (Chapter 82), safety services (Chapter 56), surge protective devices, and updated model certification forms. If you qualified under an earlier version of the 18th Edition — or are still working to the 17th Edition — your certification is no longer current.

The City & Guilds 2382-26 exam reflects these A4 changes in full. Passing it demonstrates to employers, clients and regulators that your knowledge is up to date with the latest requirements.
