17th edition exam

[Jonjomunnelly]

Hi, is it possible to do just the exam without doing the course, can't see anything online for just the exam. Thanks

Hi - I split the difference and used an online course with on–site exam with Electropass.

If you can read and navigate a BS document you can pass this exan, all though saying that I know of several time served Electricians who still cock it up and fail.

Why don't you wait a year & a bit, and do the 18th!

I've often wondered, how those on-line ones stop you........err cheating, if I'm blunt?

Cheating? Like looking it up in the book?

Hi - C&G won't allow any exams to be done privately. The exams are all done properly in a registered venue with a registered supervisor. The actual exam Q & our A are online, but that's just an efficiency thing, I think.

Would there be anywhere to just sit the exam, without the 3 day course, money is tight

Just check with the exam centres - colleges, private training cos etc. Some will allow you to sit the exam at their centre, without doing a "course". Private trainers are most likely to say you "must" do their course first, so colleges are often your best bet, or charitable training trusts.

Or some scroat who isn't a money grabbing so and so, 3 day course my backside, money for old rope, about time someone in charge put a stop to this debacle.

I was thinking of sitting at home doing the exam, with a second google web page open, much like I've thought of doing Ken Bruce's Pop Master When I spent a small fortune at my local college doing my 17th, you couldn't have post it notes in BS7671!

Think I will have to find the £560 the local college want for the course and exam
