One of the site Co-Owners is supposed to be registering here, when he gets some spare time, poor chap is rushed off of his feet.

Hi KME. where are u sitting the test then ? i have been informed that the nearest to us is cardiff that will do test only as the money for the exam goes straight to C&G so the colleges are reluctant to let u sit the exam unless u have done the course with them ... avan college let u do the 16th last year but dont think theyre doing the 17th now unless course included .......

give me heads up of where your sitting yours please as i know a chap thats in same situ as yourself

cheers

mike

Well done Specloc thats a great result in deed m8

That is the one advantage of doing it over 2 days..

a bit longer to get new sections & chapters in you head a bit more..

but then a pass is a pass, no one else ever realy bothers about how much you pass by!

some guidance our lecturer gave was the number of questions per section..

May be a bit of help for others

Part 1 (scope) 2xQ

Part 2 (definitions) 2xQ

Part 3 (assesment, characterisics) 1xQ

Part 4 (protection for safety) 8xQ

Part 5 (selection & errection) 6xQ

Part 6 (insp & test) 2xQ

Part 7 (spec-loc) 7xQ

Appendicies 2xQ

I assume this must be a standard distibution of questions for 2382?

Its plain to see Parts 4,5 & 7 carry half the marks.

Part 7 is quite easy cuz each sub-section is small.

i.e. if the question mentions, say "Marina", "Fairground" "Exhibition Stand"

there are only a couple of pages to skim read to spot the answer!

Definitions are another easy one,

handfull of pages, most stuff alphabetical

Parts 4 & 5 are the ones to realy familiarise yourself with to save wasted searching time.

My exam seemed to have quite a few questions about protection against thermal effects, wiring systems in locations with combustable materials, & fire propagating stuctures The bits you never normally read!

No joke, one question was:-

"which appendix has details of volt-drop"

three other numbers & a "12" as an option.

doh tricky marge?? ?:|

Mike:

AFAIK, swancoll are offering it. Failing that, it`s still better value to go c`diff for me. Ignoring the cost of the course itself, 2 days not working costs me

Mike:

The story so far....................

In a distant galaxy (whoops-sorry) :^O

NICEIC say they`re offering for 50+vat - centres around the country. Go to their website. Click the link for "find the course nearest to you". up come your options:

1... Dunstable.

No. What you looking down here for? That`s it!!!!!!!!!!!

Have emailed to ask what the crack is. Awaiting reply. X(

Swancoll:

Don`t have a clue if they do it or not??????????? ?:|

........Awaiting reply. X(

Don`t think I`ll hold me breath..........Might go blue

 

[steptoe]
