My name is Clive Gregory and I've been a professional bass player for a lot of years, and a sound engineer working both freelance and hiring out my PA rig.
I first encountered the dreaded PAT test about 3 years ago when clients, initially just major event organisers but more recently just regular venue managers, insisted that I got my gear PAT tested and show them the certificates.
It was difficult as a musician with a few items to find anywhere or anyone to do this and even more difficult to get honest advice and testing. As I did more and more shows it became more of a pain that the PAT testers couldn't give me PDFs of my certificates and I was getting a piece of paper for every single item of gear let alone find a PAT tester that would allow interested parties to verify with them that my PAT tests were genuine. This site goes a long way to satisfying both these points by hosting certificates on OUR site that allows your clients to view and verify your certificates.
Recently I decided that if you wanted a job done properly you've got to do it yourself, so I did the course, got the Certificate of Competence, bought the machine and here I am.
If you have any questions just email me and I'll try and give a quick answer. |
