TEM 2-4
Below you can view the currently scheduled available dates for this training:
TEM Modules 2 and 4 form part of the required learning pathway for EL6 certification. This course is developed specifically for individuals working on or around exposed underground services where there is electrical infrastructure present.
The training includes both classroom-based instruction and a practical assessment to ensure you can confidently apply safe digging practices and locate underground services correctly. The qualification remains valid for five years following successful completion.
The course is suitable for:
Electricians
Pipeline Technicians
Boiler Engineers
Cathodic Protection Technicians
PMAC and PTE Engineers
Security and Maintenance Operatives
If your role requires working near live buried services or locating devices in construction environments, this qualification is essential. Employers within the UK construction industry rely on TEM 2–4 to confirm that staff can work safely and follow health and safety guidance on active gas distribution networks.
The training includes:
We teach you how to recognise that utility plans are only an indication, and how to carry out trial holes and verification steps before proceeding with excavation work.
To complete the TEM 2–4 Course, you must pass both a written and practical assessment. The written element tests your understanding of safe digging practices, health and safety procedures, and key guidance relevant to working around underground services.
The practical assessment requires you to demonstrate correct use of locating equipment and safe hand digging techniques around live utilities. Successful completion of both parts confirms your competency under a recognised third party organisation and supports your EL6 Gas registration.
The TEM 2–4 Course is delivered over one full day. You’ll receive structured instruction, practical learning, and assessment at our training centre in Manchester. We can also deliver this course at your site subject to minimum numbers.
We keep class sizes small to allow for tailored support and feedback throughout. This format is ideal for individuals working across the utility sector who need an efficient, focused pathway to qualification.
After completing this course, you’ll be able to:
You’ll also understand how to avoid danger to yourself and others on site by applying safe digging techniques in live gas distribution environments.
On successful completion of both the theory and practical elements, you’ll receive a certificate that contributes to your EL6 Gas registration. This qualification remains valid for five years and confirms your ability to work safely around live buried services on UK utility and construction sites.
Damage to underground services remains one of the most common risks on construction sites, often caused by poor planning or inadequate training. The TEM 2–4 Course directly addresses this by providing practical, scenario-based learning that prepares you for real-world challenges.
Through a structured focus on hazard identification, verification of service locations, and safe digging techniques, this course builds your ability to work safely and avoid danger. With a blend of classroom instruction and hands-on training, you’ll gain the confidence and knowledge needed to operate effectively around live utilities.
Yes. While most courses run at our dedicated venue in Manchester, we can deliver training at a location that suits your team. If your organisation has multiple personnel requiring TEM 2–4 certification, get in touch to request a tailored option.
We provide training across the UK to ensure individuals and employers meet national standards in utility excavation training.
The TEM 2–4 Course is often delivered alongside other essential training programmes to meet broader safety and compliance needs across the utility sector. One common combination is with SHEA Gas training, which provides a wider understanding of site safety awareness and is frequently required by employers in the gas distribution industry.
Depending on your role, you may also need electrical or excavation-focused courses that support your ability to work safely around live utilities. We’ll guide you through the right mix of training based on your responsibilities, your employer’s requirements, and the recognised utility skills standards you’re expected to meet.
