Discuss 18th Edition EXAM UPDATE REQUIRED in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

It's like IPF said, why the hell do those of us who did the exam before AMD3 have to do a complete new reg's course for the best part of £500 it's ****ng disgusting. I am only part time now and it's just not worth it to be honest. I am going to wait and see what Stroma say next spring when my assessment is due, they might give existing members a certain amount of time but if they don't I am going to abandon ship and just do non-notifiable stuff. And another thing, whats this "whole new" section 8 all about?? Is it relevant to most of us? The whole thing is a joke if you ask me.
 
What now annoys me now is that the courses have been dumbed down to just teaching where to find and navigating the book, maybe I was lucky when I went to a local college for my 17th they explained the regs as we went through the book.

True enough, but not just the whole book, just the changes in the 18th would be nice.

If these schemes put their hands in their pockets they could do some shortened training on-line to come across with the changes, I would of been wiling to pay a small fee. But like with Certsure, training is part of their revenue, so thats not going to happen.

Perhaps we should come up with another petition to the Government about it, including Part P. Could try the House of Lords, as they are living on the ragged edge at the mo :rolleyes:
 
No doubt my scheme will ask me to do it. I will say 'of course I will'. The next year they will ask me if i have done it. I will say 'no' and say I will do it the next year. They will say 'ok'. The next year they will ask me if I have done it. I will say 'no' and say I will do it the next year. They will say 'you better had do'. The next year they will ask me if I have done it. I will say 'no, as we're on to the 19th now, but of course I'll get that done for you next year'. :)

I like your style, I have already decided that is going to be my approach as well, sod em. I know something for sure, I ain't shelling out for some poxy course that teaches you nothing other than how to read the contents of a badly written book full of nothing any more relevant to my job than the last 3 were.

I agree entirely. That small fee being the outrageous cost of the reg's book, complete with an online test to make sure the reader has grasped the largely totally useless additions contained in it. I still reckon £100 plus for it and the OSG is taking the mick to be honest. I think we should organise a rebellion and all refuse to bow to this rubbish.
 
Ok my experience.....passed 18th today.

£148 lighter, spent every spare minute I could this week with example questions, exam simulator, powerpoint slides @ home.
Low key, relaxed atmosphere (under the circumstances) to take exam on a Saturday.
Support if needed...Recommended.

If going by train - the suggested 10min walk should read more like 25-35mins (1.7miles)

Do some of the free online tests. Get used to using the book. After doing this I passed mine easy enough.
