question....aah just to keep me straight on the sample 303 questions it asks how to carry out a insulation resistance test on a 2 way lighting circuit,i know all line conductors common/LI/L2 ARE TESTED TO EARTH AND NEUTRAL AND BETWEEN COMMON/L1/L2,DO YOU TEST THE SWITCH WIRE AT THE LIGHT OR THE SWITCH

Lamps removed, switches open and test at the cu. Gn3 page 38 explains it better than I can.

what is the full works???as i have said i did sit an a apprenticeship many moons ago and city&guilds could not find all my old certs,hence i have got them or almost through this course,i have worked continuously in the electrical trade for last 15 years,i have contacted the sjib before starting this course but the company i did my apprenticeship was a district council whohad no affiliation with the sjib so no record of me,the sjib laughed at me and advised me not to do this course but do an adult trainee course instead,i laughed back no one takes adult trainees on in a recession,back to the 2 way lighting circuit,i think i know it now,and thanks for all the replies gents much appreciated

Not sure about it on the web but if your doing your level 3 it would really help you to buy the gn3 book. I look at the level 3 as a foundation to the 2391. Learn as much as you can now to give yourself a head start for later courses.

hi all enformed peeps, i have been studying very hard of late with my exam in eleven days and counting been doing the trevor linley book of advanced electrical but i thought it was lacking in detail in some areas,so i decided to go back to the olci level 303 units to see if the details where in them yes they are but its worded in a different way especially the outcome tests,but what is annoying me is in both books the question asked at the end of the outcomes/chapters are totally different from say smart screen questions.

smart screen qustions are applied as if your on the job in real life if you know what i mean,i am finding this final exam 303 far more difficult than the 302 stuff which all people say is easier 302 that is,is it me studying too much in such a short period of time? this will my 3rd exam in just over a month...........i am really,really tired of it all,does anyone know the pass mark percentage on this exam because i know feel i just want to do enough and no more
