You can book the course yourself mate - not like PTS or LUCAS.
You need to do the NG person training first, then you can book the BESC assessment.

Scheme Overview
The Basic Electrical Safety Competence (BESC) registration scheme is intended for all persons who work
directly or indirectly on or near operational plant and equipment connected with electricity transmission
and distribution.
The scheme was originally known as "Resets" and was developed by a task force made up of the Electricity Association Management Co-ordinating Committee (Distribution and Transmission) with
the assistance of the Electricity Company Training Managers and the Electrical Training Association.
BESC assessments are available in three areas of electrical transmission and distribution:
Substations
Overhead Lines
Underground Cables
The scheme standards are at a basic level and deal with entering, moving around and exiting work areas.
They do not cover skills required for carrying out work tasks. How do I get an Energy & Utility Skills Register (EUSR) card?
Registration is based on successful completion of a workplace assessment. These assessments should take
place in a normal workplace and should not cause any interference to normal work operations. The assessment can also be completed with unconnected equipment so long as the scenario mirrors that of an
operational site. Upon successful completion the assessor will give the trainee a cover note and the trainee
will be registered on the EUSR and a BESC card produced within 28 days
Duration
1 Day
I believe it costs in the region of £400 - £500 from what I've heard.
