Hi all, Am looking to do a 17th ed regs course online (to keep the cost down), so that I can comply with the requirements of the Part P scheme I have applied to register with. I have been in the trade for 15 years having done the 2360 1 & 2 under the 16th ed. Recently I have been contracting & subbing in the industrial and commercial sectors but have kept up with all the changes to the regs re domestic work to add to the experience in the sector I gained some years ago. Any advice as to a good online course would be appreciated.I gather I will need to do the 'full' course (whatever that means!?). thanks John

if you know your way round the 17th, then some revision and just take the exam. some colleges will allow it. only costs about £45.

Full course is a 3day course, going to your local college doing a few hours on a night course would surely be a better option than doing something online?

Im sure someone will be able to help you out better than me, as ive never done a course online - ive always done them through college, so wouldn't know who to trust if any.

I don't really understand it to be fair, but surely if you've got the 16th you'll only need to do the 17th update? or is this because you've been out of it(ish) for a while?

dammit tel, beat me too it, now its my turn to whip you :53: ha.

 

[telectrix]

and the update for the 17th is dead. no such thing anymore. ner, ner.

 

[markc123]

ner, ner ?? :shocked:

right, :53: :53: :53: :53: :53: :53: :53: :53: :53:

I hope you're sore for a while.

Hi, you can't sit the exam on line, though the actual exam is an on line one! You have to be registered with C&G via an approved exam centre. Where in the country are you based. Some exam centres will allow you to do the exam only.

Regards.

just book the exam, only 45pounds or less, the course is a waste of money,

the 17th exam is literally impossible to fail. I reckon i coulda took my mum with me at same time and she woulda stood a chance of passing it...mulitiple choice is a complete joke isn't it!

 

[grumpyjohn01]

Thanks everyone, was hoping somebody would say just take the exam...that is exactly my style!! I am in the South West so if anybody knows a suitable college in Dorset /Somerset or failing that Devon/Hants/Wilts?? So do I gather correctly that there is just one course/exam for all now, no short update just 1 multi-guess?

60 multiple choice questions. 2 hours to do it. usual tactic is to answer the ones you know for sure and flag those you don't. then go through the flagged ones doing the easiest first. then do the more difficult ones last. do a search on this forum for past questions.

I'm surprised you can do it online?! Surely people would just use google to find out the answers mid-test...

 

[skamuk]

iTunes sell the mock exam for £8.99 - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/17th-edition-wiring-regulations/id520045966?mt=8

Looks like a good way to revise before taking test!

Much quicker to just open the book and look it up.
With google you never know if the answer's right or wrong.
With the book, if you can find the relevant Regulation, it's always going to be right.

Very true. But if you don't have the book i suppose it would be the next best thing, although I have just realized after reading other posts that you can't take this test online as in at home online, it is a multiple choice online test at a test center/college so none of this is relevant lol
