Discuss 2365 204 practical exam in the Electrical Course Trainees Only area at ElectriciansForums.net

Hiya Chris, im there on Monday for practical so ill ask our tutor

Im same as you mate, 2365 level 2 first year ( 2 evenings per week ) and as far as I know our second year is all theory, no practical at all which is strange

We definitely have our exam this year though, we all got a letter a few weeks ago with dates, mines on the 26th June

Strange....
 
Cheers mate

and also a photo of me carrying out safe isolation on single and 3 phase

Ive also had to complete a method statement for safe isolation of a 3 phase circuit

All that is part of the 204 exam, so basically on the day of the exam i just have to wire up and test within 3 hours

cheers

You've done this in the real world already Matt, remember? Hope the way I showed you is the same as the college??


@ Chris. in a few weeks time I have to connect up 30 x 25mm 3 core SWA. Do you want to tag along for the day? It will be a full day, job is in Nottingham. I'll pick you up etc, good chance to get some experience.
 
Good on you for offering this sort of experiance to people on here. I have a lot of respect for this :smile:

Chris I've had a word tonight with the owner and you have the ok to jump on this job for a day. The head sparky company have let me bring you along, it also opens a door for you and you can make a local contact for a good firm to work for..... one step at a time mate.

Looks like I'm the supervising spark when he is not on site so there may be other opportunities for you and Matt. Its 15 apartment blocks first and 2nd fix over 5 weeks. You'll need PPE etc. If you dont have it, I'll get it for you.

That is strange, I'm glad my college isn't making it's do it this year, all we are doing this year is working through a booklet,

Lighting and sockets using
Conduit
Single
T&E
3 core
Radial
Ring circuit
Loop in
Loop out
Then wiring a fluorescent fitting, also using 3 core for the strappers
Then some more stuff


My tutor said by the time we do the board in your picture we will of done most of what's on it twice

I don't get Why for me ill of done a year practical then year 2 more practical doing the board for the exam then the test at the end of year 2

Yet u are doing the exam straight away and no practical in year 2, that lesson it's meant to be the practical lesson, it's the other lesson that's the theory

Have u worked all the way through the booklet?

How on earth did u do all the booklet and the full board in that amount of time?
Even the ones that started on time haven't done the booklet, the furthest person is just doing a fluorescent light now

It's confirmed the stuff in your picture will be year 2 level 2 for me
 
We just did one every week mate, sometimes 2

I wasnt happy with the setup to be honest, we were just left to go through our booklet as we wished and at our own pace.

Would have been much better to do each task together as a class, and be shown how to get on first, but unfortunately that didnt happen

That board contains all our metal work that we have done throughout the year ( we kept them all to put on our board instead of doing them again ), the rest was already fixed up by the tutors

Well done on the 202 mate ! Easier / harder than you thought ?

All the class said the same thing and that was that the test had stuff we had not been shown how to work out and we all had about 6 questions on star delta so make sure u know that well, I personally thought I had failed because I only had about 15 questions that I was sure I knew, the others was just process of elimination and the odd guess, least it's done now, it's the hardest exam of the year too
 
Thanks mate ! Any idea how many questions the exam is ?

I was thinking 40 but not back to college for another 2 weeks so cant confirm with tutor

Cheers
