NERS Accreditation Training Course — Navigate the Scheme with Confidence
A bespoke half-day course guiding your organisation through the entire NERS accreditation process — from first application to ongoing compliance. Delivered face-to-face or via Teams by our fully qualified tutors, with no prior knowledge required.
Book Your Course →Without NERS accreditation, your organisation can’t carry out contestable works on electricity network connections. With it, you can compete in the competitive connections market — and give clients assurance that your work is safe, compliant and professionally delivered.
For organisations working within the electrical connections industry, achieving NERS accreditation is a key milestone that demonstrates competence, credibility and compliance. At Quinns Training Services, we’ve developed a bespoke training course designed to simplify the process and give your team the knowledge needed to gain — and maintain — this essential accreditation.
Whether you’re applying for the first time or seeking to understand ongoing compliance requirements, this course will help you navigate the scheme with clarity and confidence.
What Is NERS?
The National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS) is a UK-wide accreditation that assesses the technical capability and safety standards of companies delivering electricity network connections. Put simply, NERS ensures that organisations working on electrical connections are:
- Technically competent to deliver electricity network connection works
- Operating to industry-recognised standards across their projects and people
- Compliant with all relevant regulations governing the connections industry
The commercial payoff: NERS accreditation allows your organisation to carry out contestable works and confidently compete within the competitive connections market — a genuine door-opener for winning new contracts.
