What do you mean?

I am going to keep this anonymous. Yeah my driving test wouldn't be the best example, as It took me 6 times to pass, always was a bag of nerves! What part of the regs do I need to be knowing, would this be table values etc?  I wouldn't know, that's down to office. Thanks Andy, I will keep this...

Yeah maybe. I do put down my actual readings on the paper for him, so it is down to him if he chooses to alter them.    By testing from the first switch in the circuit and moving onto the last switch be able to give me the indication of where i'm getting the high reading? I will go over all...

I do tend to read a lot of stuff, but finding the installation side and testing of faults harder to understand from the reading as I find learning from doing something a bit easier to take in.

The site that we are doing the new builds on know that there isn't a sparky on site, they have both mine and the labourers ecs cards, which state on them that he is a labourer and i'm an apprentice.

Hey Sharpend, thanks for the response. I hear exactly what you are saying and everything you say makes sense, I've not really had much guidance from the firm they just expect me to know these things. They have me by the balls though as I have always wanted to go on to another firm that could...

This is going off my main topic. I think my tutor at college wants to put my through my AM2 by the end of the year and I'm always nervous under exam conditions, especially known that AM2 is so big. Does anybody have any material that can help me with this? I ask of this because my whole...

Yeah that is what I thought when I first realised the high R1+R2 reading, I thought I would wait until I did the ZS value just in case that was lower. My boss always told though, that if you get more than 1.50+ on R1+R2 and ZS readings on a new house then there seems to be a problem as there...

I wish my boss would do this for me, cause that way I know he's trying to get the best from me! Unfortunately he gave me the testers and believes new builds are easy tests and should be a problem, even for apprentices.

I don't believe this to be the case as he sits in his office and leaves me to fend off on the site with a labourer. Unless he is paying the labourer to introduce the faults and he is a really good liar to me then maybe. 

I always do my R1+R2 at the end of the circuit, just kept getting the high reading, I checked the connections and did a tug test, I made sure there wasn't any sleeving caught in the terminals. I always try to take the easy routes which involves the least for less length of cable used. I just...

Hey, I am currently doing an apprenticeship. I have recently followed up a few tests of some new build homes; I did one today and what has got me thinking is when I was testing my downstairs/smokes circuit, there is in total 11 lights/smokes/fans in total and 6 switches on the circuit. When I...
