You've hit the nail on the head! What course? An hour with the guy that sells you the machine? I've got a registered electrician and a guy with 37 yrs repairing electric motors, power tools, pumps etc, can work with unlimited voltage. Now if they are have discussions on the best way to make a machine compliant, an hours course with some with a vested interest, you gonna know shit, except what the machine tells you. It makes a mockery of Electrical Compliance
Everybody testing should not only be qualified, but they should have practical hours built up as well, a little more than fitting a plug on a lead. I get companies doing their own compliance getting me to test their extension leads single and three phase, their 3 phase equipment, their RCDs, cause their test man doesn't know how? But he can test their plug in powertools? It's a bit of a joke to me!
