T4TS Pre attendance Health and Safety test

Is it me that they want a 100% pass rate.

It would be good to hear their response, but just so you know;

The chances are with any reputable company you will not be classed as a qualified Electrician without the C&G (or EAL) NVQ in Electrotechnical systems (2357). You will definitely not be classed by JIB as a qualified Electrician so therefore will not be able to get the "Electrician" ECS card which a lot of Construction sites require.

Good luck

As as far as I was sold it, The course was training me to be a qualified electrician. If they cannot provide me with official certification to say I am qualified then it's not and never was the right course for me. I want to be a qualified electrician and become employed.

Lets ts see what they say

I getvthe nvq included at there construction company

I would check that Patrick. I was told the same thing at thestage of signing up but now they are saying to complete my level 3 I will haveto demonstrate to an nvq assessor at a workplace that I will have to find. Ispecifically remember being shown a booklet which had pictures of a recentrenovation that all of the nvq guys did on all of the courses they offer

 

[gazdkw82]

Oh dear this sounds all too familiar, doesn't it Patrick? I did try to warn and I hope for your sake I am wrong.

That reads a little smug eodneil.

I think like Patrick I am trying to be positive and to believe it is not A con and more a misunderstanding. At the end of the day if the course only provides me with level 2 and some parts of level 3 and then I have to sort my own practicals out a workplace then I will have to do it. I can't give up on the course because of that. I have a mortgage and 2 kids/wife dependant on me becomin qualified. I can't leave the course because I am signed up

What other options are there?

 

[gazdkw82]

I don't mean to come across like an idiot, but on another topic probably about a month ago I warned Patrick that what they had promised him in regards to the NVQ and putting him on a work placement was to good to be true, but he chose to ignore my comments, even though I am an experienced FE College Lecturer and Assessor.

I understand that what you are saying and my comment was not aimed at you. I teach adults ranging from 24 to 50 years old every day who are in similar circumstances to you.

As I said on an earlier post good luck with it all.

was you warning him after he had signed up ir prior?

If I had been wise enough to post on hear prior then I would probably have taken more time deciding if it was the right direction towards becoming an electrician.

Maybe he's in a situation where he wants to hear a positive way forward, like me

 

[gazdkw82]

Ok here's what they've said on the phone.

iv signed up for a level 2 and some units of level 3.

to be classed as a fully qualified electrician I will have to do te level 3 with themselves or another course provider.

i explained that I was told there would be some practical training at the end to complete level 3 but she said that's only with plumbing. They do offer a level 3 course which involves 4 more weeks practical training and 4 more tutor marked assignments.

im really not sure what to do.

can anybody help? I believe I have enough ground to leave the course. If I did what other options are there for me to train to become an electrician based on the fact I can't leave my current job?

any help would be greatly appreciated

just so you know, iv passed the Health and safety pre attendance test on my 3rd attempt and iv only made 4 payments. Maybe the test isn't a stalling tactic until you've paid enough and is actually a real exam to make sure you know your s**t when it comes to health and safety

Feeling your pain bud , I'm training with them too, I'm starting to go blind .... Had paper part for a couple of months now as I pretty much gave up and started to wave good by to the money I paid . Need to try and do this ..

 

[gazdkw82]

When I did my first 2 weeks practical there were a few that had failed the H&S more than 4 times and had to do the paper version. Stick at it. It's defo doable just keep persisting

Thank you , am really trying to stick at it . Just doubting myself ..

There are many questions where both statements are correct but you have to choose whether they are linked or not. like obviously they are because its all health and safety but at what point do they consider it linked?

 

[g4z_e]

Hi i know this is a old thread, but i already have a ECS card and am doing the T4TS course, wil the ECS cover me for the pre attendance Health & safety test ?

 

[gazdkw82]

Can anyone offer some advice/help on this (i've messaged you gazdkw82), i've tried this exam and blimey, even with my prior H&S knowledge and experience in part of the industry i failed and obviously don't know by how much. I've probably paid on a 1/3 (i know quite slow) and im getting anxious with only a year and a half to try and smash through this course, which i know i can. If anyone can help i would be most appreciated, i wouldn't care if it was spoon fed, i have read through all the material but blimey the exam is just stupid considering. Thanks all! I can resit it on the 15/03/17 but i want to make sure this next time i pass it!
