The course I was on, quite a few years ago, two guys failed it. They worked in the business but just didn't like tests.. Pity really.

I haven't done the Part P exam so I can't compare it to the 2328.

Oooooh the 2382, thought you said the 2392. I find all these numbers confusing.

I did the 2393 as well. Could of saved me-self £180

Only one digit out mate.
At least you aren't as bad as me, who totally misread a post title recently..

When I did my 2382 I mean 2392, they put me with Arthur. Bloody nice bloke, bit older than me, well lot older actually about Tel's age. You had to share the test board, and he was a friggin disaster. Kept putting me off. Final day when we had our individual tests, I could see he was struggling. He had to stay behind after class. Bet he past in the end though

I checked the BC fees where I live in the Reigate & Banstead area and electrical work is £306 plus VAT.....OUCH!!! That’s more than what I’ve seen other sparkies charging for a complete CU change.....

I doubt decent sparks are charging less than that for a proper cu change ..

The electrical part can be included in the total fee by B.C. Did the previous addition of part P you had to notify work done in kitchens as if it has been taken out in the past Kitchen fitters was one of the culprits of bad electrical installations.Regarding getting qualified I have always taken the view that academic learning went hand in hand with on the job practical training.
