I take it no one is doing HT then -
You're opening post is kinda scary because it sounds like you're already working with medum/high voltage installations but have just decided you should do a course for safety.
First question is what electrical qualifications do you have already and what relevant experience do you have?_______________________________________________

Hi,
Rule no 1 DO NOT take chances with 11Kv!
Ensure that you know your switchgear very well and maintained. Do remote switching or buy a flash suit. I keep my switchgear cleaner as my vehicle and suit up every time I switch, even while knowing that my switches would be safe. Your life is worth more than all your switchgear and safety equipment.
