Hi to all.

just thought i would say hello to everyone as a mature student (54) been a shopfitter all my life and just completed 1st half of 2330 lev 2 ....dont know how but re-considering enroling for part 2 in september. ,,

I am at present unemployed but have made enquiries to enrol for C & G 2377 pat test course at stoke college, any advice where i can get the best info on the course please.

also I have the use of a seaward supernova tester can anyone advise the easy way to use it and what to look out for.

suppose nobody out there wants a free student to teach do they ?

lok forward to the site and meeting great friends.

Hi and welcome to the forum great people here PAT testing is an open book exam ie you are asked the question and you find the answer in the book if you need to. The book is an IEE publication ISBN No is 9780863418334. As for work I think we are all in the same boat but if you let us all know what area you are in you might strike lucky.

Best of luck

Anyway thank you for taking time out to let me have the info.

Hi Andrew

Best to google the ISBN number and compare prices I think its about £30 and its the one you will use on the course and where all the questions come from for the exam. Did mine back in March this year. The books you have dont help. You have to be an electrician to be an electrician however you do not have to be an electrician to be a PAT tester.

When I did it it was a two day course with the exam at the end of it and as I say you can take the book in with you. Its a C&G exam so you will find out same day if you have passed or not. 30 multiple choice questions.

If you need any help let us know
