Luke,

relax and enjoy , the lecturers will have heard most of your questions before. Anything you are unsure of ask them until you have got it. As for books the heinmann is excellant , you will also need an OSG (on site guide) .

Anything you need extra help with ask here buddy we are a friendly bunch as I have been told many times " there is no stupid question just stupid answers" if you need to ask its not stupid at all.

Cheers for that mate. Do you know best places to get the books or to order online?

[Sparky Luke]

Right, nice one! So which books would be worth buying and how many would i proberley need?

Oh and always ask lot's of questions, however stupid you may think they are. Old Chinese proverb say:

He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.

This is an excellent book:

The OSG is a must http://astore.amazon.co.uk/talkelectrici-21/detail/0435401092 the Heinmann those will be the most important ones in the early days , once you start college you will get a list of what you need , I am 100% they will be on there but you will be on the 2330 replacement course so you will be one of the first.
