Hi All,

Had my NAPIT Full Scope Assessment today. Passed no problem and now wonder why I stressed myself about it for three weeks! Theres another ÂŁ300 down the swanny!!

I was happy with the assessment itself. Nice fella called Bob was the assessor. He gave me a decent grilling about 7671 and Building Regs, Testing, Hows and Whys, Zs's, RCD trip times, Max Ze's, Zones and IP ratings, 3 phase Installs, Etc, Etc.

He had some Q&A cards which I had to answer also, nothing too taxing though in them. He pointed out my test leads were a bit slack from overuse (though they still work ok), which is something I never noticed til then, but am glad he did as when continuity testing the figure can dance about a bit. Am buying a new set shortly.

I even managed to teach him a small snippet from GN3! We are never to old to learn eh!

Overall I would recommend anyone to NAPIT if it was based on my assessment. Did not feel any corners were cut so to speak, and a Electrical Trainee would have definately been flumoxed.

Only issue I have is I will be now deemed competant to work on industrial installs.....I am not! Done a wee bit within an industrial environment but am not at all competant!

Hope the above helps any future sparks.
 
Mine is on Monday which questions did he ask you
I'm been with NAPIT for over 10 years now. I'll ask you a few easy ones first and see how you get on. No one else answer these, it is for derby 000.
1. What is maximum Earth Fault Loop Impedance at origin (Ze) for TN-S earthing arrangement?
2. What is maximum disconnection time for a 13A Socket outlet.
3. How do you test a ring final circuit?
4. What is maximum disconnection time for a BSEN61008 Type 30ma RCD on 5 x Test?
5. What is minimum permitted insulation resistance value on a LV circuit?

As long as you know where to look it up you pass
