[DeanoRN]

hello and happy new year.

I was just wondering if anyone has completed the 10 hour final exam on the level 2 and can tell me what it entails or has any pics of it.

cheers

10 hour exam?

 

[Pete999]

That's what I thought, that's some exam

The only 10 hour 'exam' I can think of is the practical in the workshop. Piece of cake really, most of my class were done in 6 hours and all had top marks.

 

[DeanoRN]

Cheers mate, can you remember what you have to do? Is it a mix of all the stuff from the practical books we are working through?

Cheers

Dean

 

[hightower]

Yep, but surely they aren't expecting you to turn up and do it without any preperation? We spent months in the workshop in preparation

The exam in question is the final practical im assuming. It will entail a full installation from a consumer unit with 4 circuits. Radial, RFC with spur feeding a fcu, 2 way lighting and s.w.a into a commando 16 amp socket. There will be pvc conduit used on the rig and steel conduit plus metal cable tray all of which has to be fabricated, bent and threaded as required and terminated into appropriate accessories like metal clad surface mounted 2 gang sockets. Plastic conduit boxes for the lighting circuits with pvc conduit. All circuits we wired were wired in singles using the appropriate sizes for the circuits. Easily done in allotted timescale and all of which you should of learnt over the previous wiring modules during the year.
Your test rig will be inspected and tested dead and then you will be taught if the tutor passes the rig the live testing process.
Good luck and dont rush it is my advice tutors are there to help you and try and keep it all neat and tidy looking i.e all accessories straight and conduit runs straight and neat.

The practical in L2 should be pretty easy , the only thing that caused any issues with my class was the testing part, since we hadn't focused on that much during classes

The level 2 focuses very little on the testing aspect and is only touched on very lightly at the end of the year when the practical modules have all been put in place by building the final exam rig. The tutors will show you what to do on the testing side but it is only very basic. The level 3 focuses a bit more on the testing and inspection side and will be in more detail.

Disagree. We carried out dead testing on all practical installs. It was a big part of level 2

It must be a variation in colleges and the one you attended sounds a lot better than mine. Not one singular module was tested at our college only the final level exam 2 rig. I would liked to of seen more testing done during the year as it would certainly of helped the less experienced students.

 

[DeanoRN]

we test after every single practical assignment we do mate.

cheers mate, just finish the 202 exam scientific principles, got a distinction. but that was the one i was really worried about, i'm more of a hands on kind of person and sitting in a classroom doing formulas and maths is not my cup of tea.

well that's out the way, i';ve also nearly finished book 7 the last practical book on the C&G 2365 course, so all is going well.
