Thanks that's great I've done bits of testing with other people but this will be my first time doing a full certificate on my own since my college days

Thanks that's basically my understanding of it. If he does get back to me this week I'll do it myself Cheers

Hi guys So me and an old work mate have been doing board change, rewire and install for a new loft and kitchen on my brothers renovation on the weekends. Im only trained up to C&G 2365 Level 3 Diploma and my mate is fully qualified electrician. I've basically been doing all the leg work, he's...

two 20 amp radial was initially my thought but I have habit of second guessing myself,  so when I do anything new i probably look to much into it (Google 😬) n seen some problems where they had tripped mcb when they first came on 

Cheers for the quick reply. As its my first time installing heaters I looked around and was worried that they had a high start up draw, would 2 never trip the 20amp mcb?

Hi guys  I've been asked to fit two 2kw heaters and three double sockets to a staff room and just wondering what would be best.  Should I have a 32amp ring with two spurs for heaters or should I split the heaters and sockets onto there own circuits. my main concern is if the heaters draw...

yep that's spot on unfortunately. if id having just done it straight with what i initially thought id have just put it on rcd, but the ocd part of me makes me check and check either again to make sure its 100% best/correct way, last thing i want is someone coming in and saying why hell as he...

Thanks blinky , it's a texecom premier elite 24 wireless, probably a bit overboard for his house. While my experience is limited I've obviously worked on a a few boards during the two years at the training centre but everything we did was rcd it never came up what to do if we'd need to bypass...

thanks doc, basically when i passed my level  2365 lv 3 the father in law got a bit carried away, bought an alarm and said "you can fit this , save me a few quid" but if you think its out of my ability ill leave it to the professionals but any help/ advice is greatly appreciated if your willing...

Thanks guys that's the way I was going. By the way he asked another spark who does more domestic work and he agreed that with him it should be rcd protected as modern alarms come with a back up battery so can nolonger be disabled by "deliberately shorting a socket and tripping rcd"  Maybe this...

hi im looking for a bit of clarification, basically when wiring the alarm into the consumer unit i read somewhere that it should be on the none rcd side is this an outdated way of doing it. i asked a sparky at the factory i work at and and he wasn't 100% but believes everything should be rcd...

i did most of the course last year and finished off beginning of 2018. i was waiting for my certs (they took about 4 months to come through  on level 2) only to find out that i was missing the personal statement and CV section before fully completed, so back to waiting for my certificates again...

Hi I'm 34 year old butcher from Pontefract Yorkshire. Basically I've been trying to get as much behind me before making the change to limit the time it takes to do my nvq lvl 3 and so I'm not completely out of my comfort zone. I finishedc my 2365 level 2 last year and I've completed the level 3...

Hi all  I'm not currently working in the electrical industry but I've just completed CITY & GUILDS 2365 LEVEL 3 DIPLOMA IN ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS and I understand I'm just scratching the surface of becoming an fully qualified electrician, I'm keen to to learn as much as I can before...
