learn something new everyday :)

although not buried in the wall mini trunking would not be sufficient mechanical protection, it would still have to be earthed steel conduit.

Yes mate, I studied at Newcastle centre but had to attend the Leeds centre and Liverpool centre for two of my practicals assessments due to the dates not being available. Dave the tutor is very good and knows his stuff but will leave you to it to see if you have done your learning etc. I'll...

NVQ must be completed within 2 years of registration but cannot be completed any earlier than 10 weeks after registration.

in my opinion and experience, report it to DNO as being above the allowable 0.35ohms and wait as they tell you 0.47 is fine! It's still well below anything to worry about with regards to disconnection times but at least you'll have informed them and covered your arse.

your solicitor should be dealing with this for you and requesting the PIR be done by the seller at their cost! Thats what you pay your solicitor for! Remedial work needed after the PIR can be used as a bargaining tool for the purchase price of the property or agreed directly with the seller to...

great response to my thread, thank you all. It seems that the general concensus is not to worry too much about getting the NVQ3 although as i'm already enrolled onto it and if the relevant jobs come in then I might aswell try to complete it. cheers.

I would think if it was in Electrical Engineering then yes but then again, the NVQ is work / site based not classroom based.

I'm going to be joining NAPIT asap mate, just getting my jobs and paperwork sorted for my assessment. I have my 2330 (2&3), 2382 (17th) and 2393 (building regs) They require you to get your 2391 within 12 months which i'm enrolling on also. I have paid for my 2356 also but just looking...

Just a query really, How many on here are practising electricians and don't have the NVQ3 or equivalent? I have mine to do but dunno whether it is actually beneficial to me to actually do it. I work in domestic mainly but also a bit commercial too with 1 industrial test on a factory about 3...

i'm also an ex OLCI student and my tutor was very good and showed me a few techniques but he also said that i've paid my money so I can play around and waste as much as I wanted for extra practice!

Passed and didn't need to look in my green book. Knew more than I thought I did, LOL. Must start believing in what i've learnt and whats sunk into my brain!! Next stop..........NAPIT.

cheers guys. I'm not shy on putting in the effort, it's only taken me a year to get my 2330 level 2 & 3, 2382 and hopefully my 2393 (part p) on wednesday. Have been working as a electricians mate also for my brother in law since march so have picked up loads of experience too. Gonna put...

Does anyone have any experience or comments as to where would be a good place to sit my 2391? I did my 2330 and 2382 at OLCI in newcastle and doing my 2393 next wednesday. They do the 2391 also but just wondered if there is anywhere that is head and shoulders above the rest for this dificult...

Hi guys, i've got the above exam next wednesday and although I feel confident of passing I have been looking for some example questions or papers relating to it but can't find any. Does anyone have any information relating to it or can tell me the structure and content of the exam in general...

It doesn't Clarify not being able to do 3rd party EIC's. Personally I wouldn't do a 3rd party EIC for anyone I hadn't worked with previously but can't see the problem with doing one for a colleague that you trust his work is up to standard.

http://www.napit.org.uk/downloads/CP_Electrical_Scheme.pdf Under the Insurance section it quotes: "Insurance

IIRC NAPIT allow 3rd party EIC aslong as you do a 100% (or as close to as possible) inspection of the installation and have both public liability insurance AND Professional Indemnity insurance too.

Had my own business which I sold for a change of direction in life and had a bit of capital gains that needed re-investing. Always enjoyed electrical work so it was the natural progression for me really.

I do work for my brother in law
