Training BA4 or training BA5 (AREI)
Handle electricity more safely thanks to appropriate training.
Issuing a BA4 or BA5 certificate is a big responsibility for any employer.
Training corresponding to the desired level (BA4 training or BA5 training) is a very practical way of obtaining tangible proof that the trainee has the right skills.
This way, your company writes out the certificate with certainty.
BA4 training Alerted persons
No experience required
The employee doesn't need to have any electricity-related experience/diploma.
Working safely
Thanks to this training, your employee is sure to have the necessary insights to work safely.
Supervision required
A BA 4 employee may only work with electricity under the supervision of a BA5.
What is a BA4 certificate?
A BA4 proves that your employee has the most important basic insights.
With a BA4 certificate your employee can:
- Working on electrical installations (under the supervision of BA5)
- Perform non-electrical work near electrical installations (unsupervised)
This BA4 course is ideal for employees who work near an electrical installation (e.g. on a site, at a customer’s premises, on the shop floor) but do not touch electrical installations. It mainly involves imparting fundamental insights into electricity.
With a BA5 supervisor, the BA4 attested may admittedly work on an installation.
The most important knowledge and core concepts for safely handling electricity and its industrial or residential applications are covered in detail.

BA5 training
Qualified persons
Basic knowledge required
The employee must have at least a basic knowledge of electricity to participate.
Top for technicians
With a BA5 certificate, the employee is allowed to work on electrical installations unsupervised.
Ideal supervisor
Thanks to a BA5 supervisor a BA4 worker is also allowed to carry out work.
What can I do with a BA certificate?
Work safely with electricity, both alone and in a team. Thanks to a BA5 certificate your employee can:
- Working on electrical installations (unsupervised)
- Perform non-electrical work near electrical installations (unsupervised)
- Supervise works performed by/with BA4 employees
For a BA5 attestation, the technical aspects of electricity obviously need to be examined in more depth.
Thus, your employee will be ready to work safely both as a supervisor and as a solo technician on electrical installations and the potential electrical hazards and electrical risks they pose.
Work independently with a BA5 attestation.
According to current legislation or general regulations on electricity (better known as AREI), only a person with a valid BA5 certificate may work independently on electrical installations.
In short, this attestation is hugely valuable for any company that wants to make versatile use of its staff: both on their own and as part of a team.

The main difference is the amount of experience and autonomy allowed.
- A BA5 attestee needs significantly more experience than a BA4 attestee.
- The BA4 attestee must never work unsupervised on an electrical installation.
- In short, a BA4 may only carry out non-electrical work in the vicinity of a plant without supervision.
- The BA5 attestee may work alone and unsupervised, and may also supervise the electrical works of a BA4.
A BA4 attestee may work on or near an electrical installation.
Work on the installation itself may admittedly only be done under the supervision of a BA5 attestee.
For example, consider the following:
- Painting an electrical switch room.
- Working or cleaning near sockets and equipment.
- Checking a switch’s bad contact (under supervision).
- Flipping a switch in a switch box (under supervision).
A BA5 attestee has a much greater degree of autonomy.
They may work alone and unsupervised on or near an electrical installation.
A BA5 attestee may additionally supervise BA4 attestees, allowing them to carry out work on an electrical installation.
Some examples:
- Checking or repairing an electrical installation at a customer’s premises without assistance from a colleague.
- Switching electricity on or off on a construction site without supervision.
- Performing unsupervised actions: fitting sockets, connecting machines, laying cables, etc.
- Supervise BA4 attested persons when working on an installation – solar panels, batteries, machinery, switchgear…
If you do not have any prior electrical knowledge, we recommend you take the BA4 course first. The BA5 course may be too difficult without prior knowledge. After all, we want to provide quality training so that the BA5 certificate is not just a piece of paper you can hang up but a guarantee that you have effective knowledge to do safe work.
Of course!
Contact us with some details (how many people and what training) and we will check if there is still enough space available on the chosen training day to train the group in question at once.
If desired, the group can also be spread over several training sessions as per your requirements.
We will be happy to prepare a quotation for training your entire team.
By organising these training courses in groups, Prevom can offer a more affordable and accessible rate.
This also saves on travel costs for you as an employer, and makes it possible to spread the training over several times so that the majority of your employees remain at work while a few are being trained.
Should you wish to organise training with a larger group on one day, you can always contact us for more information.
According to legislation, this certificate must be issued by the employer.
Unfortunately, Prevom cannot prepare and issue this certificate to an employee on your behalf.
You can always contact us for a total solution in which one of our experts will assist you with the further obligations and necessary administration involved in attesting your employees.
You can contact us by e-mail or phone for more information.
Strictly speaking, training is not a legal obligation, but Prevom strongly recommends it.
When an employer issues a certificate, this is a big responsibility.
Especially if there is an accident involving electricity.
Thanks to specialised training, as an employer, you can be sure that your employee has the necessary skills to handle electricity safely when carrying out all kinds of work on and around an installation.
Prevom operates a fair and transparent policy – so there are no hidden or additional costs. Both professional and private customers always receive a valid VAT invoice.
A BA4 or BA5 certificate must always be issued by the employer. An external service is legally not allowed to do this.
In fact, it is the employer who certifies that the employee in question has the necessary skills.
Prevom can always assist you in dealing with the additional formalities involved in attestation.
