    Hi, I'm currently stuck between two pillars, I'm out of work and their is literally no guidance out there for me. I completed a level 2/3 2330 course 5 months ago, did my 17th edition 2 months ago and I'm currently waiting on my CSCS operatives card, which apparently is absolutely essential...

    ECS & CSCS

    Hi All, I'm just wanting some advice as I'm a bit confused. I've recently been offered (only word so far) some work doing Electrical work in a School, working away, but it's the only offer that I've had so I'm grabbing it by both horns so to speak. Anyway, I've been told that I need a CSCS...

    What to do now?

    Just started my 17th edition today, 6-9 one day a week for 10 weeks so not too bad, my only error is the college were pretty much not that helpful in the fact I turned up with the Red regs book only to see everyone had the new Green version, Green book ordered /money. Hopefully this is another...

    What to do now?

    Aye, I've been told a few times how hard it can be. I'm going to ring my college and get on the 10 week course tommorow, I wouldn't mind Domestic, I can start doing that pretty easily as I've got a relative who does Electrical work and has his testing and inspection etc, but my main motivation...

    What to do now?

    Anything really, PV, Commercial, Industrial. I just want a 'job' so to speak, as long as it's related to electrical.

    What to do now?

    Well after finishing my Level 3 2330 after 3 years I found little to no guidance after college for what I should be looking for, as I'm 'part' qualified, I'm just sending my CV's off to electrical companies with a cover letter explaining that I've done 3 years, drivers licence and what I'm doing...

    List IN ORDER- test required for a new installation

    Guidance Note 3 explains the correct procedure, page 33 I think. best thing to do is make an Excel file like I have to show the sequence, expected results, how you do it, settings used, leads used etc.

    2330: 302/303

    Depends on how busy your tutors are, I had my 302 within the day as a few of them belted them off, the 303 I waited a week.

    Just passed my first year....do I have to pay for year 2?

    This is most likely depending on your college, I had to pay for my second and third year but I already had an NVQ3 in IT technologies so from my perspective it's entirely different, I'd give your college a phone.

    How do you revise? And how do you know if you've revised enough?

    I was terrible with revising when I was at school, nobody taught me the importance of it and I wasn't told how to do it hence I never really started learning properly until I was 18, but the most useful revision technique tried and tested is reading it over a few times, then closing and trying...

    2330 Level 3 Passed today! :D

    I know what you mean, I've applied to places where I wouldn't have thought of applying yet I've not heard anything back yet. It's a massive weight off my shoulders, I'm not a very confident person generally but after doing my level 2 and 3 over 3 years and passing is a massive relief and a huge...

    2391 Exam

    Question, I did my 303 the other day, and just about passed. Upon doing PEFC part of live testing, I was told that I was not supposed to dissconnect the Main earth as that would instantly fail me, I instantly enquired why because I was taught to just flick from Hi-loop to PFC loop to test it...

    2330 L2 Practical Assessments (Unit 206)

    If you're getting the experience in college or as an apprentice it isn't really that difficult, try not to overbend your conduit and ensure that all Exposed/extraneous parts of the isntallation have been bonded/earthed correctly as most importantly thats what they're looking at. I have my 302...

    302 Exam Monday!

    I was really lucky with that, I recieved no actual cable calculations at all despite me revising it all, not one single maths question in fact which apparently is pretty rare. All I've got now is this 302 and 303 Practical then I'm finished, then it's the Apprenteship hunt, which apparently my...
