napit

re 2391 is it a c&g course or napits own course. theres a big difference.

Napit are happy with either, though no one else recognises their qualification. I will be doing the city and guilds 2391.

the 2391-10 and 2391-20 are both City and Guild courses

NAPIT DO THEIR OWN 2391 which is not a c&g
i have 2391-10 and 2391-20 c&g

Is it actually called "2391" the same as the City and Guilds course?

If it is, it's a disgrace, NAPIT started out with the best intentions of all the schemes but watered it down pretty quickly!

That is where I was going, if they have called it "2391" then it is a disgrace

NAPIT do NA2391

Yes but it's open-book and devalues the qualification!

i know that and you know that hence my post originally. mind you theres not a lot of people who would know every reg my point is/was that the napit exam is not a c&g its easier. which as stated earlier i hold.the C&G that is
i dont see much wrong in having the regs with you at the exam you still have to look in the right place to get the right answer after all it is a reference book.

2382 checks if you can read, 2391 checks if you understand it.

thats rubbish. theres enough questions in the 2391 to see if you know what your doing. nobody can be expected remeber every reg.

I normally try not to post rubbish here.

Maybe NAPIT made their imitation 2391 open-book to increase standards?

Maybe they made it open-book to help them out of a sticky situation whereby they demanded this qualification as part of their scheme criteria but found pass rates would have affected membership numbers?

Spot the rubbish!

 

[mad frankie]

open book doesent make any difference to the c&g 2391.
but i agree that they probably brought their own na2391 in so people could qualify for napit registration. not sure if its a requirement any more.
their still better than the rest in my opinion.

 

[hillbillie]

I imagine Napit brought out their own 2391 to encourage people to stay with them rather than join NICEIC after a year.

Think like me IQ was worried about the use of the "2391" tag. It does cheekily make you think that it is equvilent to the City and Guilds version, and ASAIK it isn't

i know all this why do you think i put the post up. it was to inform the postee that it wasnt a C&G NEITHER YOU OR IQ WERE AWARE OF THIS UNTIL I POSTED
