Get Nexans Competent Not Familiar
These Jointer Training Courses are not introductory “Familiarisation” courses – each prospective candidate will be vetted prior to acceptance onto the course. If suitably qualified and experienced the candidate will be accepted onto the course – they will be required to undertake MV cable preparation and submit a test piece of cable with their cable termination, joint or separable connector installed. The submission will then be tested for AC withstand and partial discharge (PD) in the new “state-of-the-art” Nexans Test Laboratory.
Upon successful completion of the Laboratory Test the candidate will be presented with a 3 Part Certificate of Competency.
