Well you're on the right forum, there's a goldmine of good 2391-10 stuff on this site and anything that you can't find, just ask!

 

[chronyx]

Thanks guys, very helpful. I forgot GN3! More pennies!

 

[Rockingit]

There's a really good study guide for it published by City & Guilds themselves (think it's called 'exam success') not much money, contains a couple of mock papers but most importantly gives the actual examiners tips and suggested answers, as well as explains all their marking criteria and how best to approach certain types of questions. Certainly helped me get through.

good luck GN3 and do as glennspark says

Learn the nomenclature from GN3; you must answer with the correct wording or risk losing marks.
Use the correct names for the testers, do not use 16th Ed words like phase and main equipotential bonding.
Read the Chief examiners report for the last exams (Junes one is out now) and look at what people have missed out on. (this is available on the documents section of the 2391 qualification on the city and Guilds website)
As Glennspark says read and learn GN3 and also do the past papers, this will get you familiar with the convoluted way C&G ask the questions.
Read the question, make sure you know what they are asking. Look at the number of marks available and answer appropriately.
The exam success book is brief but good, tells you the correct techniques to use.
Good learning

Are you doing the 10 week course or the 4 day intensive?

 

[chronyx]

The ten week evening classes, I'm not a fan of the intensive courses.

 

[firemanowl]

I'm starting 10 week one at Loughborough college on the 19th, let the fun and games start.

 

[chronyx]

I did my course with at the British gas training centre in rotherham. While the tutor was ok, I wouldn't recommend the centre, they completely forgot about me. I turned up for exam in nov, and they said "oh it's been cancelled because the tutor can't get here due to bad weather". Thanks for telling me! So I had to do next exam in feb! I kept ringing them to get a date for my practical, they said the relevant person would ring me back. I sat that in MARCH! I guess I'm lucky that what I do involves lots of different testing enviroments, otherwise I might not have passed it.
In hindsight, don't go there!!
