Hello all

Well, been putting it off, but I need to upgrade my 17th edition to the 18th.
Not been a practising sparky for over 5 years, but I have been unemployed for 6+ months and hatefully... I'll have to go back to what I know (well, used to).
Not ideal but hey ho.

Found a couple of online training courses (not going to a training centre... I just HATE that environment). I plan to gets the books, and bash as many mock exams as I can before doing the actual online exam.

But... wildly different costs and I can see why.

18th Edition Training Courses Nationwide (C&G 2382-18) | Tradeskills4u - https://www.tradeskills4u.co.uk/courses/18th-edition-courses-bs7671 is £499.00
C&G 18th Edition Wiring Regulations Exam Only with Sample Exams - https://www.totalskills.co.uk/course/18th-edition-exam-only is £150.50

Am I missing something here?

I have the 2391 testing under my belt, but never actually implemented it. So TOTALLY forgotten all my testing training. I'll have to pick that back up again somehow.

Probably going to try and get this under my belt, and then apply for a job with a company. At 56yrs old, I just cannot see the advantage of faffing around and paying some overpriced body to certify my work. Wouldn't even know who is worth registering with these days (I used to be NICEIC, but that got real expensive).

Any advice on the difference between these two courses would be great. I am guessing it comes down to quality of the the supplied training info.
