UK Recommendations for reputable Online Centre providing the full 18th edition course with Exam

[Hashim]

Hi

Can anyone recommend any reputable and cost effective online training centres in London which provide the 18th edition course including the exam?

I’m based in East London and want to see what organisations are out there in London which provide this course. I’m looking for online specifically pls.

Thanks

H.K

I'm a little confused as you say "online training" but also specify a location?
I used Learn Zone Media online training for 18th edition which you can purchase with an exam in a centre near you when you are ready.

Hi I think you should probably wait a few months as I believe the new 18 edition update will require a new course

Hmm…

But i need the 18th edition to get into work. How many months would i have to wait exactly because i need work ASAP and don’t think i can wait that long to be honest. Thanks for the heads up though!

Do it now the new amendment will not introduce a different course.

I done mine with learnzone media I didn't rate the content and watched sparkyninja on uoutube instead as learnzone was just someone reading the regs book. It can all be abit dry so I had it on while doing other stuff and played it back at 1.5 or 2x speed.

XS training do a course, they are a sponsor too.

What were the pros and cons of Learn Zone Media?

Is watching sparkyninja enough preparation for the exam? In other words will it suffice me to pass the exam?

It’s basically someone taking you through the regs and highlighting the most important ones, and there’s tests and an exam simulator.
It worked for me but I knew most of the basic concepts already from previous work.
I agree it’s a bit dry. The key to passing the exam is understanding the structure and layout of the regs book, so you can find the right thing quickly and LZM biggest plus is that it helps you with that.
Most of the places you end up sitting the exam in also do their own course.

The sparkyninja stuff is long and there's a lot of explanations. The exam simulator with lzm was alright and highlights areas where you might struggle. You need to be enrolled on a course for most examination centres to accept you but the pass mark is about 60% so you shouldn't fail.

How long will it take to revise everything on average? Or is this based on an individual basis?

I’m struggling to remember - I think I spent two weeks on the LZM content and another 2 weeks revising then booked my exam and earliest slot was another 2 weeks away.
All the best, however you decide to do it.

Thank you for the insight Tim.
