Con or not?!? City and Guilds 2391 to 2394 and 2395

[harrison2987]

Hi guys,

What do you lot think the reason is for changing the city and guilds 2391 to 2394 and 2395??

From what i understand the 2391 has now been split into 2 courses and become easier to pass (2394 - Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations and 2395 - Periodic Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations).

I know it will also now include amendments aswell, but whats the point in having the 2 courses?

Is this a money maker for the powers that be, and have they made the course easier so more people will attempt it?!?

Please let me know what your thoughts are on this!!

Cheers guys

I don't know why someone who has the 2391 would even entertain taking the 2394/2395??!! Unless of course they have deep pockets and the spare time!

Like I said... DIRT CHEAP! for me anyway.

And yeah, I like learning, I like passing stuff, I like to see differences. If someday the 2391 is not looked upon as favourably as the 2394/5 (not that it will happen of course) then I won't have a problem will I, but you will

One other thing I won't dismiss is the idea that one day when my legs and wrists aren't working so well, I might potentially be up for a bit of sessional lecturing. Who knows, maybe it will be an advantage for me to be able to say "I've done both and can give an unbiased opinion on the differences between the two"??? You certainly wouldn't be able to teach the 2394/5 without it, and the 2391 is NOT the same qual.

They can jog on! If I was skint with the only offer of a job coming from TS4U I'd rather peddle gear than work for those clowns!

I'm an indie guy who supports moral indie training providers and local colleges. I hate corporate scamsters with unbridled passion!

NO CHANCE!!

Has any of these training centre sponsors ever come back to defend they're corner??.... Nope they know they have nothing to defend, and know they will, in all probably get verbally beaten to a pulp!! lol!! They are here to catch as many pundits as they can, for very little outlay!!

I'll let Biff fire the first broadside if they ever did feel brave enough to come on here, and Oldtimer and Trev to finish them off!!!! lol!!

Written mate. If you don't pass the online there is something seriously wrong with you lol!

Nowt wrong with me, only got one wrong! Its just that everyone else i know who did the written with me at the same place and others at different places were never told a percentage pass, just pass or fail.:blush2:

I did indeed miss this thread, probably because it sounded too much like previous military electrician threads.....
I saw the expected typical crap about them providing a much needed role as a training provider, and the s*** that those wanting to only work in the domestic sector don't need 3/4/5 years of training. ...Well Done by the way!!


Okay, after reading your posts on this thread, i'll be more than happy for you to be first up to fire the initial broadside. lol!!

The 2391 is one practical and one written, however the written is split into two sections (A and B) with a total of 2.5 hours between them. Some centres will split these up, but it is still only one written exam.

Are you sure you didn't do the 2392 and 2391 combined course?

Sorry, you right, I got confused myself, I done 2391 exams and 2330 exams the same time more or less, and got mixed up with 2330, because 2330 has 1 day practical I+T, 1 day practical Fault finding, online, written I+T, Written Fault finding, so it was 5 exams from it. 2391 yes its as you say 1 written and 1 practical.

Inspection and Testing hasn't changed, just some terminology! It will only be the agencies who will be asking for 94/95. I have came across some agency jobs advertised looking for 16th Edition sparks lol

and the s*** that those wanting to only work in the domestic sector don't need 3/4/5 years of training.

C'mon Eng?! Didn't you know that the domestic regs are different to the commercial regs?! You only need 5 weeks to learn the domestic regs. Get with the times!
