Qualified Electrician needing a refresher course.

Hey all.
I’m a qualified electrician but wasn’t on my tools for long before i went into another industry that took me away from standard electrical work. I was working more on machinery for a long time. As I haven’t been on my tools doing house wiring in about ten years I was wondering if there is refresher courses or something that could get me up to scratch with the current regs and installation testing?
Genuinely contemplating going back on my tools as an electrician but applying for jobs now would be a bit embarrassing as I’m not even sure what the colour of live and neutral are anymore. Is it still red and black? *Joke!
