Just passed my Elecsa assessment on Friday. For what it's worth I'll tell you how it went
You need to have all your paper work sorted.
He gave me a hypothetical question about a shower upgrade to an existing cable working out all the factors.
Questions on maximum resistance on different types of supply.
You need to know your regs and how to use the OSG properly.
I gave him a consumer unit change in my own house to look at. He had a serious look at it. Asked lots of questions and asked me to test ZE and the RCD.
Told me I had 2 non conformities The meter tails were 16 when they should of been 25 cause of the 100amp fuse(despite the fact that the tails on the other side of the meter are 16 anyway) and that was no bonding on the incoming pipe from the bottled gas and they are connected to the pipe with a rubber hose. I thought it was a little harsh.
There very tight on earthing....
I've got to show photo evidence that I've sorted them before they will let me register jobs through them.
He then went to another job we'd done where he wanted to look inside a few socket outlets with more questions. Two and a half hours in all. He spent quite a long time writing in between saying that he would be assessed as well.
Then he headed off saying he would see me in 12 months and me and my mate went down the Pub, cheers!
