17 edition course

[Nrgee]

I am a time served electrician however I gained my City and Guilds qualifications in the early seventies based on the 13 edition regs. I am looking at getting back into electrical installation work mainly small domestic jobs. I am looking at 17 edition courses and came across ************ who offer 17 edition training online to prepare for the exam. Has any body used this type of course or is a college the best way to go.

college deffo. cost is about £250 inc. exam.. 4 days full time or 12 evenings @ 2 hours each. or you can study the book and just take exam.

Online is pointless for this I would have thought. I would just buy the book and read it myself, but the way you learn might be different from me and a college course might suit you. There are plenty of 3 day courses around generally set up in the Electrical Trainee training centres. If you wish to get the city and guilds qual I doubt anyone will just let you do the exam without the training but I could be wrong. Exam is just find the answers in the book.

book the exam its only 40 pound, just get regs book and tag key pages, you will have to do the full one

Make sure you book the new C&G 2382-15 which will be covering the new Yellow BS7671. I believe you can still book the 2382-12 based on the Current green BS7671 until July 2015.

The new Yellow BS7671 is due out in january 2015 so would be a bit pointless booking the old one IMO.
