Any extension lead used in the building had to have an annual safety
check by an approved company along with every other piece of
electrical equipment in the building.

Not entirely accurate.

We (that is our site manager) carries out PAT testing on our campus.
I've even done some myself, and I'm not an approved 'spark' by any
stretch of the imagination.

I do hope that you've had the appropriate training on PAT testing then!

Define appropriate training? Legislation only requires that the tester
be competent.

Our site manager felt I was competent enough to PAT test some TFT
monitors, showed me how to do it, what to expect, what to look for, and
let me get on with it which I did succesfully.

I was, it seems, appropriately trained.
