Airedale in Leeds do some good basic A/C courses. Basic Refrigeration, commissioning Gas handling etc Mike Howard was the guy who taught the courses, good guy nothing too much bother for him.

Well done mate. The NVQ3 can be a bit of a slog as it's so repetitive. Would it not be best to do the 2394&2395 combined? I've noticed most colleges/training centres offer a discount if you sign up to both at the same time.

Well done on completing the NVQ3, now you can start the real learning!

Have confidence in the knowledge you have gained, it will stand you in good stead.
Just remember to keep refreshing the knowledge.

Cheers mate, ive done an NVQ3 in mechanical maintenance a few years ago so it didnt feel that bad, plus doing it on line this time around made things a lot easier! and i got on very well with NVQ guy!

I work in building maintenance and we dont do any testing! so figured i would get my 2394 and buy myself a tester and test all my work. Ill def not be testing old circuits i.e periodic inspection and testing.

Cheers Richard. Im always in my books mate. I work in building maintenance (i love it) so ill not be doing anything to technical. I never do anything i dont feel comfortable with and always follow electrical health and safety to a t.
