Hi Jamie I can put your mind at rest regarding the new 2357 and continuing with the 2330. You may quote me on this - Page 25 of the Handbook for the Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems and Equipment (Buildings, Structures and the Environment) (2357-13 / 91), clearly...

DO not allow the Level three course to be postponed to September 2011 - the very last registration date to get on it is December 2010 (this year!!!). At my college there is talk of accelerating people through level two in order to make sure they are on level 3 before Xmas or even by July...

The people behind all these radical changes to electrical training are SUMMIT SKILLS - the people who run the Skill build competitions for various trades. They seem to have completely 'shafted' the industry (as expressed by contributors to the C&G discussion forums). It is quite clear that...

Ordered the book over Christmas - arrived within two days. Very well laid out, lots of nice pictures (great for me!) and common sense interpretations. Well done

We bought the licence for B&B at our college several years ago assuming they were as good as the demo. Some of the graphics are good but we never continued with them. The powerpoints left a lot to be desired, for example with one there were only seven slides, 1- title, 2-description...

Received my copy yesterday, Really prompt... Have had a scan through and I must agree it is a thorough and common sense read. Good pictures and layout. I will be reccommending this to my colleagues to get their own copy. Nice One

Capacitance in Series 1/C = 1/15F + 1/45F = (3+1)/45 = 4/45 convert to 45/4 Capacitance = 11.25Farads Charge [Q] = Capacitance x Voltage = 11.25F x 230V Charge = 2587.5 Coulombs Reactance [Xc] = 1 divide by [2x pi x frequency x Capacitance] = 1 / 2 x 3.142 x 50Hz x 11.25F = 1 / 314.2 x...

Very well done and I hope things work out well with work. Just been reading other threads about contactum going down the pan - all thanks to the banks not supporting others where they were supported themselves and of course our glorious leadership. Please keep this thread updated of how things...

Sorry, Forgot to mention - although there are notes to each slide, they work best if you run the powerpoint using the slideshow icon. I know it's sad being on this site on a bank holiday - but the alternative is East enders..........

There seems to be an awful lot of discrepancy between centres about the standards for the 204 and 206 - even looking at the pictures oin the site. However, here is a powerpoint that I put together which helped me understand a bit better what goes on with three phase and neutral balancing. All...

Has anyone else heard about future changes to the C&G 2330? Annoyingly I cannot recall precisely where I heard it from and I do want to be sure of the accuracy. I understood that the 2330 was to be replaced with separate 'domestic electrician' and 'commercial/industrial electrician'...

Only just joined - looks really handy and will contribute more soon. Miggy
