Just done this and to be honest I'm underwhelmed.
Exam is a 60% pass mark, open book, multiple choice.
40 questions, you get an hour.
It cannot be possible to fail this surely?
I Know you can fail the practice but in reality that's only going to be through failure to safely isolate.
Anyway...
Passed my C&G 2396: Electrical design and verification course recently and loved every minute of it, however I am wondering if it was actually worth doing. I haven’t seen any adverts with it listed as a requirement or even as preferred. It’s a level 4 course so a bit surprising. Has anyone done...
Hello everyone I'm Chris. I am taking the 2391 in February. This question is from the c&g main site under 2391 sample questions. Continuity of a ring final circuit has been tested as part of an initial verification of a new primary school. All the socket-outlets are connected directly to the...
Hello to all,
I am a 28 year old lad who has been in the building game since 16 mainly involving groundworks / extensions / full refurbishments for a small firm, gaining lots of hand on knowledge. I have done the odd fault finding / rectifying around the house, run cables for sparks on the job...
Hi I am currently doing the level 2 City and Guilds 2365 distance learning and looking to upgrade to Level 3, I can see there are a number of different Level 3 courses available. I wonder if anyone could tell me what the difference between the Level 3 2365 and 2357 are? Also do I need a...
Hi All
I am trying to study for the 304 written exam to finish off the Level 3, but for the life of me the information in the PDFs is just not sticking!
I have been learning from home all through Level 2 and Level 3 so it has been a struggle.
Does anyone have any useful sites/sample papers/old...

(whilst I'm counting down time to start my new office job, in Dec)
My question is, to you need any experience to start this course...
Hi all,
Long time lurker first time poster.
I’ve got a few questions surrounding those short courses you normally see everyone winging about but from a slightly different angle to that I’ve seen discussed elsewhere on the forums. I’m well aware that the courses offered by the likes of...
Hi guys,
I’m currently serving in the army, but I’ll be leaving next year. I’m looking at doing a 6 month course at a center called trade skills 4 you in Gatwick, to get me C&G level 3 qualified in electrics. My question is, would any employers typically take on someone with only 6 months...

For example, in the UK i know you can eg do an A Level at home (if for example you're homeschooled) and then simply sit the exam at a recognised examination centre, paying a small fee.
Is this possible with the C&G?
Hi all.
I got my Level 3 2365 a year or so ago and an now trading as a self employed electrician. I did my 18th edition recently.
I've have never been able to get straight answers on what an electrician needs to do certain tasks, maybe because of the 'competent person' definition, but I have a...
Hi. I'm a domestic electrician with about 8 years under my belt doing Domestic Electrics only. Lately I've decided that I'd like to do more training to work on power distribution. Overhead lines etc. I've seen some online courses with a few practical sessions for around £3500. I don't mind going...
Evening fella's,
I'll soon be enrolling on the inspection and testing course but ensure which is best.
Both EAL and C&G are recognised and both offer the same end result. They are also both the same price although the structure of the eal course is better with the exams.
Does anyone know of a...
Hi all,
I completed my apprenticeship a few years ago with EAL being the awarding body.
I’ve also recently passed the 18th edition however this was awarded by City & Guilds.
I’m about to start the 2391 (c&g) course next week and was wondering if it matters which awarding body gives the...
Can anyone recommend a training provider to get C&G Level 2 and Level 3 2365 Qualifications in South-East London/ Kent area? Ideally looking for a provider that can do the course full time in the space of 16 weeks~.
I've seen the likes of AbleSkills who offer this course, but are currently...
Hello All,
Company I work for have at long last agreed to let me do the 2392 fundermental inspection & testing course (would have ideally gone straight for 2391 but my testing knowledge is limited and I know I would struggle with it)
I now need to pick one of the many training centres which...
