Just got this response from C & G. It appears that they do not enforse that you have to do the 17th edition course - but it is up to local colleges whetherthey will allow you to take the exam without. Hope that this may clarfy things if you want an argument with your local college!!!!!

Dear Sir/Madam,
You must be registered with 1 of our centres to complete any of our exams, centres may allow you to just sit the exam through them without attending any classes but this would be at the centres decision. This still means you would need to pay any registration fees charged by the centre, sorry.
Yours sincerely

Dear Sir,
As an electrician I need to get qualified for the 17th
edition. My company will not pay for update courses or training - so I
am looking for the cheapest way of achieving this. My local centre in
Saltash (Cornwall) has informed me that City and Guilds will not allow
me to take just the exam without the course - and to me this seems
fundamentally wrong on the following grounds:-
1) Compliance to the regulation is purely exam based.The risk of not
doing the course and failing the exam is mine alone as compliance is
assured by passing the exam.
2) I am being forced to pay for a course that I don't want or need to
take an exam that I am legally required to have to prove my competence.
This smacks of the company store mentality - and surely can't be
correct.
Could you please confirm that City and Guilds will not allow me to take
the exam only. If you can confirm this in writing I can take it up with
my local MP. If this is not the case I can then take it up with my
college.
