What am I?

[ste18]

Hey guys,

Im from Newark in Nottinghamshire and dying to get back into 'the game'.

I havent updated to the 17th edition. Mainly due to the cost of the course.

So all I have is 16th edition. Now does this make me an improver?

Many thanks

Steve

Yes Im aware i can do the 17th edition update or full. I just started this post, to find out what I would be classed as, on the electrical ladder so to speak.
As I am looking for electrical work, but obviously cant apply for electricians jobs as im not up to current standards. So didnt know if I would be classed as 'mate' or 'improver' thats all

How can you say the OP has not got the basics when he's done the 16th ...what crap.

when you havnt even got the basics,how can you go back to them

I heard they'd stopped the 17th edition update. I got told you had to do the full 17th edition (C&G2382) even if you have the 16th

so someone is a spark with just a 17th edition course then,which is an open book test,what crap indeed..

Yeah im thinking that. Thats not a problem. Its getting the funds and finding somewhere local.

Yeh you could do an update day course before the amend. Now
I think it's a full course

Ok guys theres no need to start a debate.
Having my 16th edition in present times. What would I be classed as?

Thats it

 

[jimmymac]

Don't know mate, sorry. I'm sure somebody on here will be able to advise you properly....good luck anyway

 

[alarm man]

from your prev posts you say your qualified,but only have 16th ed,so your either qualifed or not

 

[rich.250]

I don't think you would be able to work as a electrician or mate without a 17th qualification as your 16th is well out of date. I would want someone to have 17th

That would make you an 'ancillary operative'.

As above.
