2396- Is it worth doing?

[bmines67]

Hi everyone, i'm just after a bit of advice regarding the 2396 exam. I've got my NVQ3, 17th edition, PAT, 2391-10 and am NICEIC Approved Contractor. Its been a couple of years now since i've done any courses and i'm starting to feel the itch again. Am i right to assume the 2396 is the logical next step for me? Or is there anything else you would recommend?

Most of my work is domestic, light commercial and EICR's and i realise i dont really need the design course but i believe in trying to always learn and better yourself.

I'm based in Northern Ireland (Co. Armagh) so i would prefer a local college part time course. Does anyone know of anywhere in Northern Ireland that offers this? Also what would be the going rate for fees. Any opinions would be appreciated.
