Underpinning knowledge questions, need some help.

[DomCallear]

Hi all, happy 2011 .
Just plodding along through my JTL underpinning knowledge questions and i'm stuck on one. So if anyone could help it would be much appreciated

"What are the main types, their advantages and limitations of different electrical connections?"
Now i can't find anything in any of my books or on the internet to tell me about different types of electrical connections, so any help would be amazing.

Thanks in advance
Dom

P.S. just another question i have come up against and got stuck on is to do with organisational procedures. So here it is;
"What are the organisational procedures for reporting variations to work schedules?"

Exactly, my gaffer says the wording is terrible. They really should think about rewording some of these questions, or think of adding some points to help find your way to the answer.

Well you won't hear any disagreement with your last post from me mate.

Dom, do you have some other examples from your papers that we can reword into normal English.

 

[DomCallear]

Not at the moment, i will repost when i hit another one.

 

[Paul.M]

Ok mate I'll keep an eye out for when you post them. I hate the c&g language and at college they gave us an extra lessons in how to understand it. Although your doing the NVQ it will be based on c&g.

 

[DomCallear]

Ok thank you very much mate your a saviour. Could do with some lesson in comprehension of the c&g language!

 

[Paul.M]

Look out for the key words as mentioned above, eg "schedule" from your 2nd question. Have a look in your JTL book and read the part that talks about what you need to do if your running behind or finish early. Think I'll get out my old JTL book and look it up myself just out of curiosity.

 

[DomCallear]

I don't have a JTL book :S i just have a folder with the questions in and the practical bit.

To be honest fella, the people who write the language that the C&G use, are probably the same people who write the speeches for politicians.

Just had a look for mine, can't find it at the moment. If your doing you nvq 3 it is well worth getting it specially for questions on paperwork, its all in there.

 

[DomCallear]

Oh i'll have to ask my assesor about that see if he has any idea on books i could get.

Bureaucratic language, the language that the common man must not ever be allowed to understand.
