Wiring simulator
Build circuits with supplies, switches, lamps and meters. Keep leads tidy with Neat mode, then zoom in to work on connections.
Open Basic simulatorWireMate Pro
Build and test circuits, follow animated wiring help, and investigate two hidden faults. Pro brings the wiring workspace, essential circuit library and installation-testing bench together.

The updated Pro workspace
Keep the circuit in view with grouped tools, board zoom and Neat mode. Open meters, plug-in loads and guided help from the same workspace.
Open Pro workspace
Find the 2 Faults testing bench
The installation board and meter sit together on desktop. Use separate Test sheet and Your two diagnoses tabs to record evidence, then review and retest your repairs.
Open Find the 2 FaultsBuilt for deeper apprentice practice.
WireMate Pro gives learners more realistic circuits, clearer testing steps, tougher fault scenarios, and theory revision so they can build confidence before they are under pressure on real jobs or in practical assessments.
Find the 2 Faults
A separate installation-testing bench with neutral and earth connections, captured measurements, a test sheet and a repair/retest stage.
Essential circuit library
Practise selected lighting, socket, motor and control connections. Each exercise explains its purpose and the limits of its model.
Animated wiring help
Take a tour of the workspace. In supported practice circuits, ask the guide to demonstrate the next connection so you can follow it on the board.
Meters and IR testing
Practise with multimeters, ammeters and an insulation-resistance tester, with test settings and isolation requirements shown in the simulator.
Cable size examples
Compare conductor resistance and estimated voltage drop using cable size, length and material. These are training calculations.
GPOs and plug-in appliances
Wire a socket, connect an appliance using its plug, and operate its controls. Inspect simulated power and current as you change the load.
More room to work
Use Neat mode, board zoom and collapsible tools on a laptop or tablet. More canvas hides Pro's website navigation while you work.
Pro study guides
Revise electrical maths, series and parallel circuits, wiring, controls, testing and fault-finding in 20 compact modules.
May support study expense claims.
WireMate Pro may be claimable as a work-related self-education expense if it directly relates to your current apprenticeship, trade work, or employment.
