18th Edition Full Course Or Update

[Octopus]

I think this stuff about the AMD3 is a red herring.....

If you have the 17th , then the next step is the 18th ...........if the candidate wants to "risk" the 1 day course/ exam or exam only, surely its up to them.

Agreed. They put that in there to make a few quid to those that will just take things as read.

Three days is a joke for a practicing electrician.

I've just passed the 18th today via a one day update.
My quals are 17th amd 1. I had no issue with the exam, nor did the centre with me not being amd 3. TBH I only looked at the book yesterday as it was lent to me. I felt the update course was concise enough to pass.
So dont worry.

As well as being very expensive , its 3 days you won't be earning (if you are SE) - so the cost will be considerable

Agree again.

 

[Octopus]

Agree again.

very worrying!

But this fact about being SE doesn't figure with the idiots making these decisions ...

Its a bit like saying nobody can take their driving test without having 50 lessons first ..............

... Or fly an aeroplane solo without 40 hours flying time...
The regs exam is an exam on looking things up in a book; the book could be on anything, it doesn't prove that any knowledge of the subject has been retained by the candidate. If you've had to sit through 10 weeks of hearing about it in a classroom there's a good chance some of it will have sunk in.

Go on Neil, you know where the button is.

I was told you could only do the 18th update course if you already hold 17th and amd 3 qualification.

Depending on who is doing your training Exam this is correct most colleges that are doing the 18th up here want a certificate to say you’ve done the amendment 3 course to let you do the update
