QETPP study guide
QETPP · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
QETPP appears as an exam code in certification directories and course listings, and this page is written for candidates who found the code but no reliable handbook to go with it. It has not yet been matched here to a verified official content outline, so treat any domain list, weighting, or syllabus you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until you can trace it back to the awarding organisation's own domain. That is not a reason to postpone preparation - it is a reason to spend your first hour confirming scope rather than buying study material. Start by locating the official candidate handbook or content outline for the exact code and extracting three things: the published domains, their relative weights, and the verbs used to describe each task. The QETPP study guide has 4 sections and about 1,458 words.
01Electrical Safety and Test Authorization
This domain tests how candidates plan, authorize, and carry out electrical test work without exposing themselves or others to shock, arc flash, or stored energy. Expect questions on the safe-to-test sequence, approach boundaries, PPE and instrument category selection, and the paperwork that must exist before a circuit is returned to service.
362 words, about 2 min02Insulation Resistance and Continuity Testing
This domain tests insulation resistance (IR) and continuity measurement: choosing test voltage, interpreting results against recognized minimums, correcting for temperature, and proving protective bonding. Marks are lost by quoting a number without the conditions that make it meaningful.
370 words, about 2 min03Earth Resistance, Loop Impedance, and RCD Testing
This domain covers the measurements that prove a fault will be cleared in time: earth electrode resistance, earth fault loop impedance (Zs), and residual current device (RCD) performance. Questions usually hinge on method validity and on applying the correct acceptance rule.
367 words, about 2 min04Calibration, Measurement Uncertainty, and Records
This domain tests whether a candidate can produce measurements that survive an audit: traceable calibration, a stated uncertainty, a documented decision rule, and records that cannot be altered unnoticed. It is the domain where "the meter read 0.48" is not yet an answer.
