    Level 2 in electrical installation diapolma

    Matt, level 3 involves verification , inspection , testing and fault finding which are practical units and cannot be assesed without being at a college equiped with test/fault rigs and testers, if you are serious get on level 2 cg 2365 now then worry about level 3 later mate

    Level 2 in electrical installation diapolma

    Mate, what you learn in level 2 leads directly to level 3 , hand in glove!!

    Back boxes 5mm sunken into plasterboard walls

    Absolutely crucial, unless you want to be trying to fill and fill and fill, We cut the heads of 50mm 3.5 screws and wind them inro the lugs of the backboxes, they will pierce thru plasterboard when fixed to give you a guide where to cut out , but cut really carefully as prodave said

    To many existing wires to connect new smart socket
