[pirhead]

Guys heres some news that will give a lot of people a sigh of releif the 2391 as we know it will be abolished by december 2011!!!! Yeah thats right no more 2391, The qualification is going to broken down into three seperate units 1. Initial verification 2. Periodic Inspection 3. Design and Testing Its all part of the new QCF for electricians does anybody know what QCF means :rockon2:

I'm still waiting on my results from the june exam.

I thought i would tell everybody whats going on with the 2392 and 2391.

The 2392 is being replaced with the 2394
The 2391 is being replaced with the 2395
The 2391-20 is being replaced by the 2396

The 2392 and 2391 will be vaild for the next five years after closing date, which at the present moment is being extended from what is stated on there PDF due to the have not finalized whats going in to the certs ...

The new certs will have to be re taken every so many years, the decision on the amount of years is either 3 or 5 years.

I spoke to my local college and then city guilds to confirm the above .... but the new certs are a long way off because the guilds told me they were extending the 2392 and 2391 into next year..

Hope this helps

I have shown (hopefully) that i have enough about me to perform isp and test, PIRs etc and dont see why i should resit stuff every few years...its nowt but a con and when i have finished college and gained the experience i want (and need)..........thats it.....i`m off!!!

Something tells me it will be every three years for a re-sit.
I mean we have to keep the guys at the top in the lives they are accustomed to don't we.
I wonder where all the money goes.

My 2391 was taught by an old boy who just wanted to tell us about the good old days and the practical was done in a shabby old room with an ancient test rig.

Now I might be a bit cynical but with 12 blokes all paying £800 just for the night classes and also day classes being run in the same old shabby cupboard someone somewhere is making some good money.
I wonder how much all the administration fees add up to, I would love to see C+G's accounts. If this carries on there won't be many electricians left.

I guess the way forward is one bloke with exams and a whole host of unskilled installers working under his direction.

Welcome to the future, nurse where's my medicine. :mad2:

Hi Everyone,
I have done my 2392 about 3 years ago and I now need to do my 2391, I know there's been a lot of discussion here about the changes etc but I want to know, do you guys think I should go and do 2391 now or wait till all the changes are in place?
Thanks in advance

Spoke to my local college about the changes this morning - they don't have any info on the qualification changing, other than 2382 going over to the first amendment sometime in jan!

I am due to do my 2392 in Nov. Is it worth it? Or should i wait til the change. I am just starting out and booked onto Part p, 2377, 2392 and 17th all before xmas. Not sure whether to cancel these and wait. Any advice would be appreciated.

Im starting the 2392 next week and the 2391 in december.... The new certs wont be out till a lot later, when speaking to the guilds there way off. And the 2391 is still the industry standard and will be for a long while yet.

 

[zsoltimatrix]

i hope the 2391 doesnt dissapear. its one of the quals that sets them men apart from the boys. I am going to try and attempt the 2391-2 in the next 6 months or so.

We have to many idiots claiming to be electricians already!!!

Unfortunately this is what big business and our politicians want - lowering standards so that they can pay less for the work and endless immigration to push the wages even lower.
