Pre-Commissioning Course — online
Work through the course day by day and module by module. Each module opens into short lessons drawn from the course notes, followed by key takeaways. Practical fault finding moves online through the virtual fault-finding simulator.

Virtual fault-finding simulator
Simulated BMS installations with a hidden fault: Day 2 hardwired and Day 3 RS-485 / Modbus packs for the standard course (AHU panel with field devices, points schedule, BMS front-end readings and a multimeter). Use the multimeter (V, Ω and mA), a 0–10 V / mA signal injector and the wiring drawing, prove cables end to end on the continuity range (beep with the Ω reading, mute toggle; blocked on live circuits) — join the far end with a temporary test link (strap) or pull the cores into a lever connector block, then test from the panel end, take the join off and confirm OL; a wander lead extends the black probe to the field device for single-core and core-to-earth checks — then work through Identify → Prove → Verify → Restore → Record and get scored feedback; your attempts are saved on your device.

The simulator is also an installable web app that works offline once installed.
- iPhone / iPad (Safari): open the simulator, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
- Android (Chrome): open the simulator, tap ⋮, then Install app or Add to Home screen.
- Desktop Chrome / Edge: open the simulator and click the install icon in the address bar.
Installing and offline use need the site to be hosted over HTTPS. Attempt history and scores are saved on your own device only.

Theory modules are available here to study at your own pace. Hands-on practical work and the final competency assessment currently take place in person at the academy; online alternatives for practical fault finding are being developed, starting with the simulator.
