Failed C&G planning and prep 3 times?? Help

[vasquez]

Hey there.

Im on my second year of my 2330 qualification and ive passed every exam up to now with a credit.

But with this exam the planning and preperation i have failed 3 times..... and i'm not even allowed to re-do it or carry on with my 206 exam.

Basically i have to re-sit the whole second year due to this.

I feel like i've been treated unfairly.

The planning and prep is basically.

Tools and materials list.

Circuit and wiring diagram for a ring main + 1 spur

circuit and wiring diagram for 2 way lighting circuit.

risk assesment

safe isolation procedure

I have complated all of them except having trouble with the wiring diagram for the lighting circuit.

I failed because apparently i was using using the "wrong" wiring diagram for the lighting, although it worked, the first time i failed was because i was using the celing rose method.

Then i had 30 mins to re-correct my mistake, so i used the "feed to common on switch 1 then + strappers to switch 2, then from switch 2 out from common on switch 2 to celing rose.

This was correct, but i failed on my second re-attempt due to not writing the exact size swa glands that i needed. ...

so i needed to completly resit the whole of the planning exam, wasnt allowed to know what i had done wrong, wasnt allowed any advice to do with what i'd done wrong and how i can rectify it so i can pass.

So i re-did it a 3rd time! .... And not knowing what i did wrong in my second attempt (still not knowing whether my wiring diagram for my lights was right, since i wasnt allowed to look at my paper)

I did the extension method for my lights.

So basically the 3 different methods i used all worked, but my teachers excuse for failing me 3 times was because i didnt use the correct method for exam, although on my second attempt i did except i forgot to label the size SWA glands i'd need....

Am i right in feeling that i have been treated unfairly?

I am a bit gutted now, since i cannot complete the 206 exam this year and need to completely redo the whole of my second year because of this, although i have passed my 203, 204 and 205 exam this year.

What can i do lol?

Have you upset your tutor lol? Ffs I'd write letter to c&g explaining your grievences as from what you said sounds a bit unfair unless you've upset someone badly. Good luck anyways .

And a letter to your College Princaple too.

What is your E-mail address Mate? PM it to me.

You can fail more than three times, but you have to pay for re-sits. But what you are saying you have failed are not actual exams - it is the paperwork side of the 206. And Yes, that is a part of the overall mark and pass of the Practical too.

When I done my 206 there was 2 guys in the class that were struggling to put their diagrams together . Our tutor really pulled out the stops to get them through which they did . We was lucky to have a tutor which took personal pride in seeing people acheive . Needless to say we all completed lvl 2 successfully thanks to a tutor that did His job very well .
