PAT testing DVD ?

[oldtimer]

Hi does anyone know of any companies that have a PAT testing DVD

The reason I ask is I am having to turn down work as I am being asked to do a PIR and PAT testing at the same time so I am now looking into buying a tester but I want to make sure I am doing it right plus I am not sure about pricing ie I was thinking £50 for say 12 items but would apreciate any advice on this as I have kept away from this as doing PATs on their own does not appear to be economical or am I wrong.

Re PAT testing there are numerous threads on the subject, however I charge £2.50 for the first 49 items, with a minimum charge of £50.00 applying. However If I was to do a PIR and PAT on the same day I would probably wave the £50.00 minimum charge.

Hope this helps.

This one looks OK. It's made by Learning Lounge who are generally pretty good.Portable Appliance Testing Produced by Learninglounge.com: Amazon.co.uk: Film & TV

Happy viewing

Learning lounges PAT video is incorrect in some places, but does offer an interpretation and is quite watchable.

Seaward do a DVD also which is ok. Naturally it's a bit "seaward centric" and they charge a bit extra because they include an online test which may or may not be of interest.

Cut The Crap Show Me How To PAT - Sold on Ebay
It has twenty or so Practical Demonstrations plus other stuff and is the best one I have come across. You can get it for £12.95 but if you are lucky you can get one for £8.99. I think the it is environsafepat
Most courses seem to swamp you with theory and give a little practical at the end. This DVD is Heavily weighted in just showing you how and what to do through demos.
Don't get me wrong. The theory is importnant and this DVD does point you in the right direction for that and legal aspects but those who just want to know or those who have completed a course like me, but are still unsure this is well worth a punt.
Like I said it is the best one I have come across by a mile and I have wasted a few bob on others that just didn't measure up.
best wishes

I found this link. These vids are recaps from the DVD I mentioned and appear at the end of each demo...there doesn't seem to be any full demos from the vid on youtube though.
