The Installation Rules (P1 & P2) course is a theoretical training program designed to prepare electricians for the Installation Rules Exam, a key requirement for obtaining a Wireman’s License. At Highbury College, we offer expert guidance to help you pass both Paper 1 and Paper 2 with confidence.
Why Installation Rules Matter:
