PAT Testing for newcomers - advice

[Notshortnottall]

I have a fleeting knowledge of this but want to get some industry insight into what's needed to 'properly' pass a PAT test on electrical equipment. I should add I'm not trying to cut any corners here - I want it done to a high standard!

This is something that I want to undertake but the amount of information out there is reaching saturation level so need some assistance in distilling through it all.

I've seen a variety of kits available to buy online but no idea what would be a good starter pack. The price ranges are quite considerable. I don't want to go overboard but at the same time want to make sure I've got what I need. What are the key things to look for?

In terms of training, there's a wide variety of providers who offer a myriad of services ranging from ~£200 through to ~£800 and an online exam.

Very grateful for any knowledge, insight and experience others may be able to provide.

Thanks for the helpful responses.

I already have a business dealing with waste and recycled electrical equipment.

The intention with this is to provide a certain level of assurance for our equipment and I'd rather keep that in house (and learn something new).
