    Thoughts on 5 week DEI courses?

    Hi Jaws, I've just checked the website and it appears the initial verification course I did was the equivalent to C&G 2394 if that helps?

    Thoughts on 5 week DEI courses?

    Thanks for your advice. I think your last paragraph is the way forward. It's disappointing though that as a mature person entering the industry these "short courses" maybe your only option to train at a reasonable cost! I am debating on trying to get some experience within domestic settings...

    Thoughts on 5 week DEI courses?

    Thanks for your reply. I'm definitely in the 40+ bracket! The only issue I have is I am currently employed (in another industry) so I would need to find some work at the weekends or evenings. I have put the feelers out so fingers crossed let's see what happens. Hindsight is a wonderful thing...

    Thoughts on 5 week DEI courses?

    Thanks for the response. I'm lucky that the course was paid for by my employer but I was hoping it would count for more. But I really want to train as an electrician so it's back to evening classes for me. I've been offered some site work so I guess I can use that as valuable hands on...

    Thoughts on 5 week DEI courses?

    Hey guys I completed this course back in July and have been looking to do further studies to gain more knowledge. I was hoping to be able to jump straight into the Level 3 in electrical installations but have been told by at least 2 colleges that those courses don't count towards the Level 2 so...

    Megger 1741+ vs Metrel MI3152

    Which one did you go for in the end? Went to Metrel UK HQ on Tuesday and saw the demo and have to admit the MI3152 is all singing and dancing. Thought the loop tests were a little slow though and the RCD testing ... but someone mentioned that in this thread somewhere ? Although am swaying...

    Megger 1741+ vs Metrel MI3152

    I've managed to get a demo of the Metrel today. I want to see that in action before I make an informed decision. Will update ? 1597129489 Despite your initial comments lol I'm going to see a demo of the Metrel today ???

    Megger MFT 1741 problems!!!!!

    That's very true ... "Keep it simple stupid" is one of my favourite mottos and sometimes if something is all singing and dancing, when it goes wrong... it's a nitemare! :( and will cost an arm and a leg to fix !!

    Megger 1741+ vs Metrel MI3152

    That's great Richy333 thank you for your response, but the MI3155 is very much out of my budget :( The Megger falls just about in my budget although I've overstretching a little, but would rather pay a little more if it means getting a solid tester. ... Also just realised you're the same Richy...

    Megger 1741+ vs Metrel MI3152

    That's what I was thinking. I called a shop in Watford the other day to ask if I could pop in and have a look at various testers to be told, sorry you can order online and collect ONLY. I understand why, but it's bad timing :( The next Elexshow that I can find is in November in Coventry...

    Hi all, lovely to be here! I'm a newly qualified domestic installer looking for tips and advice in the wonderful world of electrics. I've already asked a question regarding MFT choices (I think I have finally decided to go Megger!) to which I had a great response so thank you already. I can...

    Megger 1741+ vs Metrel MI3152

    Hi thank you so much this is the information I have been waiting for! People have been helpful saying "go for Megger", or "go for Metrel" but no justification has been given. I think from your comments above and seeing as I'm just starting out I think the Megger it is. Thank you again :)...

    Megger 1741+ vs Metrel MI3152

    I'm in the same boat and have whittled it down to those 2 as well? Have been getting lots of advice from forums etc but I still cannot decide! I trained on a Megger so I'm tempted to get that one but then I have heard really good things about Metrel especially the PASS/FAIL aspect which I like...

    Fluke 1664FC for sale

    Hi, don't suppose this is still available? When did you buy it if you don't mind me asking? Also why are you selling it (out of interest)? I'm looking for a new MFT and can't decide Fluke or Megger :(
