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.

Why is that then.If you are unemployed you are not a good electrician.Please tell me why.Many Thanks Paul

Ice man if you think the 2391-10 theory was hard you will have a BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL at the 2391-20 its open book with 3 hours and you need every second of it hers a rough idea of what is asked.

Draw a fully labeled diagram of a HV discharge lighting circuit.
Draw a fully labeled diagram of the method of testing an earthrod
Explaing the reason for gaps in under floor heating systems.

Ther are more question but those 3 i got Its very interesting and i PASSED mucked up the project though so will resit that.

iceman the project is on paper for example an office block with 6 seperate sections in it you have to show calcfor cable size,explain choice of cable,containmen ect,show on drawing cable routes,fill in a full test cert for 1 sectuion using the cable calcs and lots more. I have scanned my old assighnment sheet in the C&G tell you the Zs and earthing system as well as building constuction

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.

Where about's did you do the course? I'm based near stirling and am looking at going down south but really want somewhere a bit more local.

a12jpm i think Stow college in glasgow is runn ing one in september

Cheers mate. Bit of a trek from Dunblane but still a good bit closer than the places I was looking at.

 

[scotsparky]

the course id done one day a week for 5 weeks then the exam one night. Dunblane to stow college is abot an hour. mind you its rushour traffic so could be fun going through the roadworks at cumbernauld.

 

[a12jpm]

Sounds good. Don't mind the travelling, running all over Scotland for a customer at the minute. Never mind only another year till the roadworks are lifted on the A80!
