It's a long time since I looked at this, but the figure I
have at the back of my mind was £6/item,

So £20 / item would be excessive ?

If your friend sells many electrical goods,

No. 8-) They do have a fair few extension leads and lights though,
all of which needed testing.

he should do the course and exam
himself (takes 2 days and evenings), and then buy a suitable
PAT tester.

I'm thinking of doing this myself. A S/H PAT tester would seem to pay
for itself pretty quickly, just from cost-savings.
