EAL 4337/38 or C+G 2394/95

Hi, I've got my JIB gold installation electrician card. After obtaining my 2357 NVQ, 2382-15 and my part p course.
I want to go one better and get my approved electrician card.
According to JIB they accept both EAL 4337/4338 and C+G 2394/2395.
They are roughly the same price to do but the EAL course has a much better pass rate..! I'm in a bit of a dilemma and don't know which one to go on..! Also as the pass rates for 2394/2395 is quite low, I don't want to be wasting £1000 on a course and end up failing it..! Can you pay to resit exams with C+G if you fail and do you re take the exam on the day after or..?
Kind Regards,
TOM ASHCROFT

I've got a copy of the exam success book if anyone would like to pay for the postage on it they are welcome to it !
I should add though that I am in the process of moving house so may take a bit of finding

On a different note, Does anyone else have problems replying to topics ? I start typing then it all starts going bit haywire and I end up attempting to redo everything I had just typed.!

I passed my 2391 around 10yrs ago the written exam was closed book so a good understanding of the current regs is a must! A lot of it is down to how you word your answers C&G code!!! As for the EAL one I've never seen anyone with it! I ran a gang of testers on a contract 2yrs ago they all had C&G it is a hard exam I'm not gonna lie it used to be the holy grail but a lot do seem to have it now as its a must with local authority's having there ECIR reports every 5-10yrs it's open up a new demand for the qualification once it's on your jib card its opens more doors!!! Good luck

ive got the new one on preorder

That exam pass book (the one with the green tick) is worth its weight in gold, purely for the fact that it teaches you exactly how C&G want the questions answered. It's pretty much a must have if you want to pass it, there is no way on earth that I would have answered the questions the right way of I hadn't of bought that book.
