Is the 2391-20 design and verification course worth completing?

[iceman]

hi does anyone know about the 2391-20 course for design and verification is it worth doin at some point or is it just another con by the trainin scemes to blag some more cash out of ya

 

[scotsparky]

its is a very good course its a follow on to the 2391 testing and its a lot of work. I opassed the theory side but have to redo my project.

The coures itself goes into great depth all desigh and maths and regs so you will get to know the regs and maths very well

I would say do it its hard work but worth it.

It a great course if you go to a good college or other training theirs a 60 hour project, including diverity loading calculation cable design on say police stations, doctor surgeries, stables detention centres, it suites and silimar type installation, the theory very detailed as well GN 1 and 3, all of BS7671 relating to design and if you possess 2391 inspection and testing you get exemption on the practical otherwise there is a practical as well.

I would recommend the course as long as you have the time to study I spent 8 to 10 a week doing project, exam type questions course lasted 20 week studied at CNWL

iv been thinkin about it as im gettin me head round the calcs now i got me 2391 exam next week i best pass that first
before i take on another mission, would i need a sound understanding of cables and operating tempetures disconnection times etc if i was to take it up?

If anyone can do that assignment in less than 20 hours then they must be unemployed. If your unemployed and an electrician, then you must not be a very good electrician. The assignment takes TTTttttiiiimmmmeee if you want to do it properly. Seriously, the exam depends on how well you were taught. Found it lot easier than the testing exam.

its should be a breeze thn has i thought the 2391 practical was a walk in the park the theary tho is prooving to be a different story! lol

 

[skatingsparks]

Doing the exam tommorow? Its kind of hard. The questions are not bad, its just interpreting what they are asking makes it tricky. Yep, practical is pretty straight forward.

 

[iceman]

its only straight forward if ya knw wot ya doin! got my 2391 theory tomoz thn got the 10 year wait for the results thts the hard bit!

Does anyone know the pass rate of the 2391, was 12 in my class. Only myself and 1 other passed.

 

[iceman]

its a 70% fail rate in the uk my college had about 20 on the last exam 4 went through.

 

[ryanryan]

that sounds about right on my course, thats pretty awful...
so whats happening to the 70%?
not being able to part p register!
whos signing off all there work?
