Been there, then read on about visiting the website, try finding it on there having done YOUR google search

 

[Richard3009]

City & Guilds 2391-10/2392-10 Inspection, Testing & Certification of Electrical Installations | Lincoln College using the old number

 

[Plonker 3]

That course is no longer certified by C&G, its all about the 2394 and 2395 now.

 

[Richard3009]

I suspect the website is out of date

 

[Plonker 3]

Yes, its in this years prospectus, but I have found colleges aren't much use at updating their websites.

 

[NDG Elecs]

My CG 2391 was around 350 if I recall correctly. That was around 5 yrs back.

I 100% agree Glenn, it ain't worth nowt to anyone else so always better to do the CG version. If the OP was planning on staying with NAPIT/NIC/or whoever for say the next ten years then there in-house courses is a possible route for them. If it was the cheaper and easier option then a lot will prob go down that route. I'm not saying it's right or good but that's the way it is.

 

[Richard3009]

You could simply ditch the scams issue the householder with the test sheets,and then its up to him/her if they wish to notify, who checks and governs all this mumbo

 

[Plonker 3]

But in that instance, they would have to notify LABC BEFORE the work commences, so they can then send their inspectors round during the works.

They've thought this one through haven't they the robbing swines.

C&G change the bloody numbers every day, sigh, too many fat cats dipping in the working man's pocket

the reason that `the national association of professional inspectors & testers` are making it a requirement to hold this ticket....is that they themselves offer their own crappy version..

just another racket to con money out of the unsuspecting.

you need to be COMPETENT...to carry out installation...and then to both inspect & test that installation...thats it

the C&G 2391...or whatever it is now was a way of DEMONSTRATING COMPETENCY.....

but napit are wrong to suggest its a requirement...it flies in the face of BS7671...and last time i looked i thought thats what we were working to...

breathtaking....:nonod:

 

[GLENNSPARK]

however i still stand behind my argument that in order to prove competency you should be attending college for 3 years minimum...

and i wont budge on that......ever!!

 

[GLENNSPARK]

They've thought this one through haven't they the robbing swines.

if you must..

then elecsa will let you notify the works you carry out for your assessment AFTER its been assessed...

so what this means effectively is you carry out the work...have it assessed...then once your accepted you can then notify that work..

saves you on LABC costs...

I know NAPIT, ELECSA ans NIC do, not too sure about STROMA or BSI

since when has this been the case?

 

[NDG Elecs]

Three years minimum at college defo. Make that five years if the tutors or student is crap! On my 2330 there were 3 lads from ADT, they barely ever listened to a word that was taught...I would have made them do the full three years again. Thank duck they are only fitting alarms...and hopefully nowt else..
