18th Edition Regulations exam study

It's becoming a common gripe on this forum @Dan, any chance you can take a look at the negative ratings?

Don't doubt it gets up your nose Mate, do what I do Ignore the divs, although you can always read their inane comments, just for fun.

I was given a free ticket for cinema showing but not sure if its worth the effort and time at the mo..

I applied for my update in the local college online, 6/8/18.


1 day update course as have 17th Amd 3.

Was gonna get the Regs, OSG and GN3 book pack, as it seems best value than to buy them at stages on their own, but GN3 isn’t being dispatched until 31/7/18, so wouldn’t give me long to get a blast through them and tab the pages.

If it is not cheeky , how much is an update course?

No experience of belonging to any Scheme, but do they not insist, that to be a new member, you should within a time frame get yourself the new BS7671 qualification, as I said I have had no experience with the likes of NICEIC so hence my question, not that it bothers me, as I am now an interested non working Electrician. Mind you I may get updated just to stop myself going doolally, now do the they do discounts for Pensioners, I wonder? no harm in asking is there? don't ask don't get, I'll let you know, but I'm not very optimistic, couple of Hundred for the books, plus course fees, could stop the intake of Vino for a while.

On Niceic shop it’s
£85.50 for the Regs
£100.00 for Regs and OSG
£128.00 for Regs, OSG and GN3

I don’t know yet, it just was apply now. No prices mentioned, the full 17th Amd 3 course 4 days was £214 but Dept of Economy funded for self employed or less than 250 staff meant it was £85.

Hoping they’ll do same way this time lol

But it should be a good bit less than £214, as it’s 1 day not 4 days.

@Phil Thompson .
I called in at my local college on Thursday . They have no one to run the course , no staff in the electrical department . If they do get enough applicants the may run the course . Last year was £500 but it will be more this time .... did I want to book?

 

[Phil Thompson]

The 17th I did was 4 of us in the class, as long as they got 3 he said, they break even, as even funded they still end up with the £214 per person.

Sign of the times here . All the courses used to be fully booked .
No industry left now . Mines gone , my industry down to the last site , Aluminium smelter gone, Power Station levelled , It is so sad to see.

Same here, mate. Used to get plenty work at three big local plants within a couple of miles. That's besides small industry. There was a small, back street, specialist engineering company, with about ten lathes, we used to maintain, about 200yds away. They employed about 20 locals. Once remember getting a 415v coil rewound... '1938' stamped on it. Some lathes with old resistance starters, all broken up for scrap. I used to have a pair of old boots, wrapped in rags, especially for that place, oil and shavings everywhere.
Anyway, back to some 17th certs.....and tick boxes!
