Trusted by UK electricians looking for an electrical certificate app
"After years fighting the NICEIC system, slow, complicated, and opaque, TestFast is a breath of fresh air. Data entry that used to take forever now takes minutes. The zero lag performance is crucial for me. As someone who enters all the data but does not approve certificates, I need something that just works. No loading screens, no crashes. Simple and transparent."

"Methods have fallen behind the times given the importance of the industry. TestFast has enabled us to focus more on actually testing and inspecting rather than data entry and proofreading. After losing schedules through one of the big bodies multiple times, my frustration was peaking. The zero-lag performance means no more lost work. Genuinely well-built software, and the back-end support has been fantastic. Everybody wins."

"NoteScribe OCR has been a game changer. I used to type every observation manually, now 60% of my report is done quicker, giving me more time for actual inspections. I scan my handwritten sheets and just QC what has been scanned instead of typing everything. More time on the tools, less time on admin."
Wayne Grant
Electrical Manager • Aberdeen • NICEIC • 20 years
"Other software tries to do everything and does it all badly, every update breaks something else. TestFast just does the basics brilliantly. Taking a photo of the board and having it auto-fill saves me 15-30 minutes per EICR, and the speed means I can be more thorough on site rather than rushing to escape the admin. Just try it, it changed my life."
Simon Hammond
Electrician/Director • Devon • NAPIT • 17 years
"The NICEIC online system always felt slower and clunkier than it needed to be. Now I can type up a whole schedule in about 30 minutes, it just works smoothly. I wouldn't recommend TestFast to anyone I wouldn't consider a true sparky. If you cut corners on test sheets or miss the obvious fails in front of your face, this isn't for you."
Callum Bradley
Director, Electri-Cal NE Ltd • Northumberland • 18 years
"Typing up observations used to eat my time. NoteScribe OCR has made my reports around 50% quicker and actually more thorough and professional. Better than any other software I've tried."
Stephen
Electrician • Leeds • NAPIT • 26 years
"Grid entry was such a pain I'd given up and gone back to handwritten reports entirely. TestFast changed that, the Observation Builder makes the whole process simple and I'm done in under 20 minutes. Fast, professional results every time."

Why do electricians search for an electrical certificate app?
Why does certificate work still end up back at the desk?
Many electrical certificate app searches start because the job is on site, but the real certificate work still happens later.
Job details, test values, and rough observations captured on paper or in separate notes.
Photos, site records, and certificate wording spread across different devices.
Finished certificate output delayed until the electrician is back at a laptop.
A certificate app should bring the workflow closer to the job, not create another place to copy data from.
You should not have to choose.
How should an electrical certificate app work?
TestFast gives electricians an app-style browser workflow for completing certificates on site. It helps capture job data, record results, build observations, keep work usable in poor signal, and sync certificate progress across devices.
Use TestFast on site from a modern mobile, tablet, laptop, or desktop browser.
Keep core certificate entry practical when signal is poor.
Start on site, continue from the office, and avoid retyping the same job data.
Faster paperwork without lowering the standard of the work.
The friction has nothing to do with electrical work, so TestFast removes it from the workflow.

TestFast
Hey, it's Michael 👋
For 10 years, I was on the tools, thorough inspections, detailed observations, doing it right even when no one was watching.
Then I spent three years as a software engineer. I learned that slow, clunky tools are a choice, not a technical limitation.
When I came back to the tools, I couldn't unsee it. The EICR software was forcing me to choose: do thorough work, or get home on time.
I was rushing through observations to escape the interface. Skipping details to avoid the soul-crushing grid entry. I was doing worse work because software made thoroughness harder, not easier.
That's when I realised: if cheap tools make you do cheap work, then crap software makes you do crap reports. And I refused to accept that.
So I built TestFast on one principle:
Automation should eliminate the admin. Your expertise stays on the inspection.
- Your time on electrical work, not data entry
- Thoroughness should be easier, not harder
- Your standards don't change, the friction does
This isn't just another cert app. It's the tool I wish I'd had for the last decade.
How does TestFast support an app-style certificate workflow?
Three site questions matter most. Capture, process, sync.
Can I capture certificate data on site?
On a 40-circuit board you are noting values on site, then typing the same values up later.
That is the same job done twice.
Leave site with your schedule already done.
NoteScribe OCR
Snap the DB. TestFast reads the circuit labels and builds your schedule so you can start testing instead of typing.
LiveSync - Megger MFT-X1
Direct Bluetooth to your tester. Press test and the value lands in the right field without manual entry.
- NoteScribe OCR and Megger LiveSync move your test data into the app while you work on site.

What You Actually Get Back
Get Your Evenings Back
Finish on site at 5pm. Thorough inspection — 30-40 observations, proper testing, the full works.
Old way? That's 3 more hours at the laptop before you're done.
Now? 20 minutes. Report sent, invoice raised, finished.
Your thoroughness doesn't punish you anymore.
More Jobs. Same Standards.
Two hours saved per report adds up fast.
That's not cutting corners — that's friction gone.
- •Fit an extra job into your week without a longer day
- •Finally take on that commercial contract you've been putting off
- •Say yes to the client who needs it done by Friday
Your standards don't change. Your availability does.
Done Before They've Finished Their Tea.
Detailed report. Professional observations. Proper codes. Delivered same day.
That's not what clients expect from their electrician.
That's why they remember you.
That's the reputation that separates you from sparkies who cut corners.
What should the on-site certificate workflow cover?
A useful electrical certificate app workflow should support the whole site journey: open the job, enter results, capture observations, keep going in poor signal, and sync the work across devices.

Questions to ask before choosing an app:
Can I use it from a mobile, tablet, laptop, and desktop browser?
Can certificate entry continue when site signal is weak?
Can rough notes become professional observations without rewriting everything?
Can job data sync into the certificate workflow without retyping?
A report workflow should feel shorter because the admin is shorter.
Not because corners were cut. Because friction was eliminated.
