Unhappy

[Stuart Earle]

I have just failed my 2394 theory with 76% so I'm ticked off. Anyone know any short cuts to getting my % up without studying for 24/7. Ta

Welcome to the forum Stuart.

This isn't really related to 'non-UK electrical works' so I've moved it to the Electrical Courses sub forum for you.

Take the EAL equivalent as it's open book

 

[markc123]

Now ive heard that before, and that is what i can't for the life of me get around.

The C&G is closed, but the equivalent EAL is open-book...these certificates can't surely hold the same value.

 

[brucelee]

yep they are both recognised by JIb and everyone else But i am with you how can they compare a closed book to a open book exam
But thats llike 2382 compared to 2391-10 both are lV3 god knows who came up with that but they should be sacked lol for incompetence

 

[markc123]

Plain and simple...completley unfair. Whoever has thought that idea up can jog right on.

What?!?!
That renders the whole process meaningless!

The plumbers must be wetting their pants at all this.

Its the same with the new Qs Qualifications for domestic and the new diploma for commercial/ industrial EAL do a version and so do C&G

 

[markc123]

Just when you thought the industry couldn't get any worse, what next...open book / able to ask the examiner for the answers - exam.

Now here lies the root of the problem...
Everyone should have the access to further education, but it seems most of these 'qualifications' are just too easy, a frigging monkey could get them!
Easy for me to say, I've got all the ones I'm ever going to want, and at the risk of sounding like a smart arse, but 'they as in examination bodies' are going to have to raise the bar, 2391 levels across the board.
Lets face it, some people can't hack it!
I wouldn't be a chemist for example...now pharmacy on the other hand......

 

[markc123]

Aye, some people can't hack it / don't have the capacity to learn / have the patience ect...

I honestly couldn't sit in an office doing spreadsheets day in day out - so i don't.

I used to think EAL were on par with C&G, not anymore, its outrageous.

 

[Silly Sausage]

I was a C programmer in a previous life, fooking genius at the job, but hated working in an office and got out of it.
Ups & downs since but no regrets!

Got to weedle(?) my way into PLC somehow!

 

[markc123]

Don't blame you.

Theres females in offices - but apart from that, i struggle too see the attraction of it lol.

 

[Silly Sausage]

Office women...bitches.
I didn't get an annual pay raise once on the excuse that I had smelly feet! hahaha
Office workers, bunch of faggots.
