C&G 2377 Pat Testing

[rookeryu67]

I am booked on a day course as it is a clincher for a nice warm 3 month winter job. What should I expect? Is it easy? Should I do any prep in advanced?

Pretty easy exam Multiple choice and open book

 

[rookeryu67]

What book? Regs?

 

[CRAGS]

[h=1]Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment [/h]

Another £30. Repeat the mantra "tax deductable......tax deductable" Cheers for the info, just have to hope express delivery is!

Course is different now.

Harder exam, more questions (50) and a practical assessment consisting of three tasks.

The code of practice is being republished in November at an increased RRP of £55 (about £45 on Amazon)

Ok. Still open book though?

Sounds like you may have left it a bit late to swat up. But as your doing "a course" then it (the Course) should guide you through, and Code of Practice (Rev 3 at the moment) should be provided as part of course material.

Yeah it is, although not all the questions come from the book.

I can't imagine it's 'rocket science' though.

It's a PAT testing course.

It's a PAT testing course.

Are you sure?

when people ask me if i've got PAT testing, my (smug) reply is always "i'm an electrician, not a caretaker".

Many electricians can't PAT test.

Being a qualified electrician doesn't make you competent to do other things.

can't, or don't want to? i shouldn't imagine there's too many lads out there, who've passed there part 1 and 2, who couldn't pass 2377. does anyone fail it?

and i'm not sure what you're getting at, with your second sentence. i only commented on PAT testing.

edit: just re-read your post and i think i get what you mean. i wasn't implying that an electrician can PAT test without doing the 2377, i was just stating my point of view, which is PAT testing's not proper sparkying. just my opinion.
