I have my AM2S next month, and testing is my biggest weakness by far.
I’ve been asking my company to put me on jobs where there is testing work available but it rarely ever happens. Whenever those opportunities do appear, they are very quickly completed by the experienced sparks on the team...
Completed my AM2s start of this year.
My whole career plan is to run my own company/sole trader. Be my own boss basically.
I always get asked when I will be able to sign stuff off. So, I believe this is when I get a company setup and become a member of the competence persons scheme, is this...
Hi all, hoping for some advice, I’ve recent resit my AM2s after failing on first attempt… I’ve passed all my resit apart from section C just on the three phase circuit for not doing all combinations (check tester…N-E, N-L1, N-L2, N-L3, E-L1, E-L2, E-L3, L1-L2, L2-L3 and L1-L3… re check tester)...
Hello,
I’ve got my AM2S coming up and I’ve been revising like mad but I’m stuck on something.
I’ve read that it’s a 3 phase board with just one RCBO for the ring circuit. Assuming they want me to do a global IR test, can I take the conductors out of the RCBO, switch it off, and then test...
Fault finding- does any one know how many faults out of seven you need to find to pass the AM2S fault finding section ? any info would be helpful. Thanks
Hey all,
First post but have read up a lot over the last few months as I have been prepping for my AM2s which I sat last week and thought I done well on,
Good news is that I only failed on 2 sub sections of my install, the ring circuit and the heating system, neither of which are circuits I do...
Hello all,
Straight to the question, I have passed everything on my am2s part from the oline exam I am now on my 3rd attempt!!!!
I was told today by my employer that college had told him if I fail 3rd time I have to resit the whole thing again! is this ture ?
I cant find anything online...
Hi, if I have finished my paperwork for NVQ level 3, if I leave my employer can I pay for my AM2s myself or do I need to be employed? (It’s not an option to stay at my current employer I have wrote a post about these previously but had no answers)
Hi everyone,
Did a resit on safe isolation (a1) first thing Monday morning I know safe isolation I feel a n**head lol just wondering if any one has had the results come through on a weekend as I still haven’t had them it was Am2s resit I did.
Thanks Steve.
Got my AM2 coming up in August. I have done my apprenticeship through JTL who have been telling me for the past year not to worry about the AM2S and I only need to do the standard AM2.
I have today found out I have to sit the AM2S as apparently now it is required for the gold card and I am...
Hi all, I need some advice for am2s retake I failed the lighting and data circuit and have no idea why! I wired the lighting with a neutral at each switch like the specification says, I am wondering if it was because I put the earths in connectors do these need to be connected into the back of...
Just done my exam, passed everything except Insulation Resistance...
I can't think how I could've failed because it isn't the hardest thing on the wrold, Tester was on 500V and I tested circuits separately.
Only way I could've failed was how I tested my Ring Final, I wago one leg of ring...

Hi
I am sitting my AM2S next week. I feel fine with all of it except the lighting section. it requires a 2 way and intermediate lighting circuit to be installed. but unsure how to tackle it whether to wire at the switch or to go the light first. not that sure on it.
greatly appreciate if...
