If you do the 10 week course will be much less of a rush - might take it in better?

Personally I can only concentrate hard for so long

Sealey I took the 10 week course in Jan-Mar. Its alot better than a 4 day intensive, A shedload to learn. The pass rate is only about 40% so revise like mad. I passed my practical section but failed My theory, taking it again soon.

I did the 4 1/2 day course (5 years ago). Stayed away in a pub (big mistake), found it very intense (revising till 1am every night) with breaks for food & beer (but not many... there's the mistake).

Only 3 of us did the practical on the 5th day (the rest chose to come back a week or so later)

I think the worst think about doing that course was the fact that I had to wait 3 months to get the results (I did my 2391 at the end of October) and got them just before Christmas.... I passed

The main thing is that you must be able to put the work in and know the regs inside and out.

This is not specific to your question, but I love books. I find it hugely helpful to have my little reference library on the shelf. I have some books I have used very infrequently but have got me out of a sticky spot!

If you can afford the book - get it.

I'm sure I must have spent nearly as much on books as I did on beer at uni - and that's a lot of books................

I have just done the 4 day course, but I already had the 15th Edition, I have been out of the game for a few years. If I was doing it from scratch, I would have chosen the 10 week course, there is a lot of stuff to get through in 4 days.

I found this book very good; it takes you through examples and there are lots of good diagrams. It has questions after most paragraphs, making you look through the regs to find the answer. At the end of each section there are multiple choice questions and after that there are written answer questions, which again make you think a little and make you look through the regs.

I know it's written by the NICEIC but don't let that put you off, for
