Yes a bit of a waste of 3 hours, Darren Staniforth and Tony Cable's dip into method acting was nauseating.
Yep, cost us a fortune for very little. Rather than the theatricals would have been better to explain surge protection at the DB. T1/T2 and then again to AC items on a roof as it leaves a zone etc. Think I need to learn more about that. They used an example of T3 surge to protect a FA Panel (assume addressible due to higher amount of electronics) not sufficient explanation provided. On EV chargers no mention of the IET book on Code of Practice on EV charging as that had additional points of interest. They had adverts on everything else but not on their EV course which was ok, even though it was centered on Rolec products which is fine. Departures worth considering to get out of installing ARC protection until they have the single modules available and at sensible price point. Think the guy they interviewed was suggesting hold off perhaps thats why its a recommendation at this point. Interesting to see what the rest of you think. Ok back to work now.
Agree far too much time telling us what we could have learnt from reading the BBB, not enough time explaining how SPDs and APDs are to be connected into CUs, also EV took about 4 minutes where in reality more time was needed, too much time watching some past it actor pretending to be Faraday, I have learnt more watching paint dry.
I have no idea what you people expected, why anyone thought going would be beneficial is totally beyond me.
You have obviously had prior knowledge of what it would be like then Westy?
Obviously westward knows everything about everything and decided he was too posh to go
Obvious it was pointless plus that Cable clown was involved.
Why anyone thought they would walk out any the wiser is just plain crazy.
What I find even more unbelievable than people attending this pantomime is that some have paid for the privilege. How often on here are the schemes referred to as money making scams yet you are willing to pay them for this farce
The BBC presenter, could have worn a jacket that fitted him though, he was very good it has to be said, apart from the coat.
So will we find a reference of how "scams" cheaply trained electricians with their useful £5 movie.

It was a waste of them paying him to read an autocue. It was corny and uncomfortable to watch. Darren and Alan Wells could have presented it with more input from Mark Coles.

Alan Wells, is he the guy that worked with TC on some of the early videos from NICEIC, if yes then they ought to prescribe his monotone voice for Insomnia, if I have the wrong person, sorry Alan.

This is the first time I have seen Alan Wells on one of these you mean Dave Austin I think. Darren looks like he has a new sidekick.
Alan Wells has a good knowledgable way about him, he is able to make it interesting.
I personally think that the whole thing could have been packed with information, some training, viewpoints and technical answers to regularly asked questions, it could have been well edited then recorded and satellited to the cinemas - it didn’t need to be live or ‘entertaining’ - it reminded me of ‘strictly’ and that makes me cringe!

O' well I met up with two good friends that not seen for a while.
Probably cuz they were scared of answering question, they knew SFA about
Me too and it was worth it for that!
It was only 3 hours and overall I did enjoy the experience so no more complaining from me!
I thought there was going to be some question/ idea of adding an Earth rod at each installation, regardless of what type of earth arrangement was being used.
Again I may have my facts wrong, but no mention of that issue, or was I mistaken? It looked to all intents and purposes that the NICEIC guys, were more intent on putting forward their own takes on the new issues, rather than, what the truth of the matter is.
I site the EV issues, padded over not much useful information given, or did they assume that everyone knew the correct way of doing things, which begs the question again, why waste 3 hours of your day, watching those Muppets perform to a script.
It would have been far better if they could have arranged some type of conference call type arrangement, where by dlegates could ask questions, I realise this would be difficult, but surely someone could vet the questions very quickly.
I have attended numerous meetings whereby questions could/have been fielded for later deliberation, not a difficult thing to do, I'm sure NICEIC members and non members, would have appreciated a Forum, whereby they could have had their individual questions answered via an email at a later date, in order to keep the presentation within the allotted time frame, or is that something beyond the NICEIC's limits?

I think you are right Pete this was never spoken about.
Reminded me of the Forums you get at the Trade fairs like ELEX as long as it's not to difficult, just bluff your way through, may be the NICEIC should look for a better Front of House team?

The could have invited questions to be emailed in beforehand.
This is an interesting read and free! Interesting because the NICEIC show changes to the schedule of test results to align with the 18th. Only need to record ×5 for a 30ma rcd and listing the voltage used for IR.
