Hi, I'm currently doing level 2 2365 course 1 evening a week and I'm 8 months in and only have the practical (204) left to do. OK, so up until now we haven't touched anything practical, its all been theory based and a case of being handed a PowerPoint handout and sent on your way and doing it at...

Hi All,
Worked on site and coming from an industrial abseiler role into the electrical industry.
Curious to see what the majority of you guys are after when it comes to employees.
I’ve been a subbie for the past 8 years and believed myself only as good as my last job and reputation...

Hi All
I am New and just wanted to say hello to everyone. I hope I can contribute on the lighting side especially but will be picking your brains on the electrical and circuitry side
Had a quick call out to attend this evening. Currently closed but call was from a mum in need So I popped past with only my call out (light tools) in the car boot.
4 lights, one bathroom fan and a smoke alarm fed by a B6 MCB Protected also by an RCD.
Fault = no lights on the circuit working.

Hi,
I’m interested in training as an electrician and have an opportunity to work with an electrician. I’m just considering the best route to take.
Is doing an apprenticeship the best route? Or would I be better off working 5 days a week and going to college in the evenings. Are there any...
I’m 20 years old and looking at training to be an electrician domestic & commercial, I’ve been looking at places for a while now for evening courses and I’m not having much luck. I’ve emailed and done my research but I’ve had no replies or just haven’t found the right one. I don’t know if it’s...
Evening, I have a question if I may. If I have in my garage a 2way DB with a 63 amp rcd fed from main board in house on a 32a mcb but rcd protected. If I perform an auto rcd test would I be right in thinking it would trip the main board 1st as it’s rated at 32amp?
thank you
Hello all. I am Martin and it's my first post. I am looking for C&G Level 3 evening course 19+ from September 2020 as close as possible to SW19 in South London. I checked a couple of places in the area but I couldn't find anything.
Please let me know if you know any.

Hi all,
I am trying to find (with not much luck) evening courses in Kent to become a qualified electrician. I’m involved in the Shelving & Racking industry and our mobile Shelving, although plug and play Ethernet cabling, I feel requires an electrical qualification, especially if providing...
Evening everyone, tired ageing sparks, trying not to beat my NICEIC assessor to death with my pristine blue book. Come here to hopefully find some sensible people
good evening thought introduce myself, decided to take the plunge and go the college route this September but hopefully not long after start I’d prefer an apprenticeship.
Currently working within FM for a well known brewery company but trades are over 4hr drive away.

Hi everyone, Im looking for any info on making a Horstmann Electronic 7 able to be connected to a "smart" control - Hive, Nest Tado…anything. Alternatively is there a smart product that would replace the Horstmann to provide this capability.
Alright guys!
Just thought I would post an introduction!
I was an electricians mate (slave ) for 5 years before moving into Telecoms with BT. I'm looking to move into CCTV installation to go alongside my dad's electrical firm so thought I'd sign up for advice and to learn!
Cheers all!
Managed to avoid the whole forum thing for more years than I want to think about, but I now find myself in need of some venting and healthy unbiased (if that's possible) discussion about the 18th Edition, SPD's, but mostly the complete mess that is digital certification!!! Where's the progress...
My RCD tripped more than once in a single evening.
When I went into my kitchen to investigate my appliances I noticed that my washing machine was left on (in pause mode).
Does anyone think the cause of the tripping could be the washing machine (especially when left turned on)?
Hi lads,
Been lurking for a while mainly perusing the business threads as I'm looking to start out on my own next year, sick of working away and want to spend more time with the wife and kids.
Anyway I've worked for a few different companies over my 15 years in this game doing different types...
