2377

[Lyngarth]

Hi
Doing my 2377 next week, and I know every body keeps on telling me how easy it is I would still like to know what book/s you are allowed to take in with you.

I have looked around oin the net, and all I can find is it is an open book exam but it doesn't say which book.

Many thanks

Hi bud, its the Code of practice for in service inspection and testing of electrical equipment, i done the exam and its easy but there were a few that failed it, its just a case of reading through this book as all the answers are in there somewhere

the book your looking for is

Code of practice for in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment

The exam is quite easy i got 100% when i did it, there are some practice exams online which simulate the gola exam.
Have to say though since i done this exam 2 years ago i haven't done any pat testing.

Good Luck

Thanks for the replys, will dig the book out just to refresh my poor old brain. I have been asked to do some testing at a couple of places with the poss of a few more for a local spark, who has 5 people working for him but none are willing to do any pat testing.

But to me, work is work and will have a go at anything.

If/when i pass and if he is happy with my work, he has said he is happy to go havles on a new pat tester for me, as long as I stay with him for the year.(doing other work as well)

So anyone got some good recommendations for testers ??

Cheers all

The following book is also worth looking through

[ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/IEE-Exam-Success-Standards-Compliance/dp/0863418058]IEE Exam Success: City and Guilds 2377 Standards and Compliance: Amazon.co.uk: Mark Coles, Jonathan Elliott: Books[/ame]

Thanks for the help and advice, have now taken the exam, and got a pass with 94%, so very happy.

I was using a fluke 6500 yesterday, it was a friends and he let me help him out on a B & B he was testing, and I must say it makes it a very easy test to do but it costs £650!!

Will keep on looking for now.

Cheers
