Just as the title sugests chaps, after a recent conversation with a "secretary" at a local training centre ive got a right headache.

Basically im 16th edition, passed in like 1998 i think and have literally just quit my firm and gone out setting up my own firm, only thing is i havent got my 2391 so cant test my own work and cant register with niceic or whomever i decide.

I was gonna book a 4 day 2391 course with 2 extra days of pratical and 2 exam half days for around ÂŁ700, need the 2 days revision extra as i have very little pratical experiance of testing but now ive been informed that i probably need to sit the 17th edition update course?

If i have got to sit the 17th update course before i can do the 2391 then do i have to sit the 3 day 2382-10 or can i just do the 2382-20?

The 2382-20 would obviously be better cost wise at less than 200squids.

Thanks in advance.

P.s. those of you who work for yourselves, do you create your own test sheets or photocopy originals to use? ive only seen packs of 10 test sheets available to buy on the net or with various companys and it seems expensive especially when you could go through them very quickly.
 
thats the trouble with this trade now :mad: anyone can be a spark by guessing the answers :eek: what happened to learning a trade :confused:

I know how you feel m8 been sparking 16 years but i try and think of it a little different of l8. I have actually done a fair amount of bricklaying and plastering, even completed a double height extenion myself through building control recently from footings to the tiling on the roof all done by myself, all the other trades i was peforming i just have learnt from experiance but to pull of sparkying you NEED not just pratical experiance but the college side also.

Incidently.....bacl on topic for now.

Just been looking through all my certficates from back in the day and i cant find any certificate that "clearly" states what qualification i actually have...2360 or whatever.
