I have the following points
1 I was always told your not an electrician if you can't test
2 The impression I get from posts on this forum is that these training outfits just seem to teach to pass the exam not teach the subject.

Make all Apprenticeships a 5 year course, the Regs statutory, all work notifiable, mandatory 5 year EICR on all property, Oh well, I can dream!

You can become an Electrician if you pass the 17 or 18th exam as it will be in January, apparently.

People have been saying that for yonks, but nothing gets done does it?

2391-20 Design & Verification would be minimum in my eyes to be able to work alone.
2391-10 was a hard exam though, even for people with a good knowledge. When I did mine I was the only one to pass despite everyone being a practising electrician.

Errr 2396 is Design and Verification. It's a level 4 qualification

 

[Chris1234]

D&V used to be 2391-20

That's correct, but was replaced by 2396 a few years ago, the one you did was a level 3 qualification.

 

[Chris1234]

And?

 

[Deleted member 26818]

From what I can work out, all the old levels have changed.
What used to be level 1 is now level 2 and so on.
FFS the 2382 is a level 3 qualification.

And?

Well, they don't teach that particular qualification anymore, like they don't teach 16th Edition anymore. It's obsolete so cannot be a minimum anymore.

And?

And? You stink
