Inspection and testing courses.

[Poppyspop]

How do all,

Just registered with the Forum and want to get rid of that "virgin poster"
message I've just received, it's on that's probably been on a million times
so apologies, but I'd still appreciate a few suggestions. I'm a JIB registered
Installation electrician with 17th edition and a decent understanding of
Inspection an testing, I've just started a new role and I'm doing a bit of
testing filling in the Niciec sheets, which course would be the best for me to
gain a C&G as I've heard the 2391 has changed? Many thanks

it's now 2394 for initial verification and testing. 2395 for periodic inspections (EICRs).

As above, I did mine spread over 10 weeks at my local college one evening a week.

The City & Guilds is closed book for the exams and EAL is open book i believe.

Yes, 2394 can be taken as either EAL or C&G. As Simon says, there is a closed book final exam if you go down the C&G route. If you choose to do EAL then there is just an open book multi-choice test at the end (and the practical assessment obviously). Daz

I did the EAL test last year but the C&G is more 'respected' in the trade

Is it just me or have all the electrical exams been dumbed down over the past 10 yrs and if so why ?

To be fair this gets said all the time (and has been for years) about all forms of exams - GCSEs, A-levels, degrees etc. It's partly true I'm sure, but also I think it's a generation thing - us older generations always think the young ones have it easier. Daz
