What's your plan for the 18th

Full on course and exam,get the book and home study then book a external exam only, do a distance upgrade course then sit the exam as a external candidate,or wing the exam as I did with the last 17th upgrade

I am in a sort of forced retirement just now .
I now have to look reg numbers up that were second nature to me not so long ago.
If I bother I think I will go and do the exam at my local college as I have always done. To be honest I enjoy the crack , some of the tutors are long gone , but some are still a blast from the past, along with some of the old hands I know.

For me it's a number of small changes and immense cost forced on me.

Not happy.

I am retired(officially)but will take the exam only when its current, its hard to let go

I was 14 now I'm 18 it sounds good to me

A supplement to the existing and an acceptance on our part to conform is all that is needed but then no one makes any money from us that way

@Des 56 . It is , especially when you have spent most of your life solving problems then the brain has been switched off.

The 16th to 17th came close with a 20 question ( maybe it was 30) exam with a greatly reduced fee. I cannot remember how much , but I think around half.

Yeah I was thinking of doing the same, if me Pension will stand the cost. That's a point do these scammers give OAP's discounts?

discount pete????? they'll not do that, but they'll lend you a zimmer frame and give you a senility check.

Hey that's an idea, why don't us over 60+ hire a coach to to the college on the day then head to Bognor

Would that be a bus bar pass?

I did my 17th level 3 at my local college (2012). Saturday and a Sunday, with the exam on the Monday evening. Spent the weekend with some old sweat, reading through odd regs & pages of BS7671, chapter by chapter, and him handing out some test questions as we went. As I had done nothing since doing the 15th circa 1981, it was hardly informative.

I seem to remember paying about £350 for the privilege!

Edit; Learnt more from this forum, than I did on that course.

Agree the course as it's aptly called is nothing but an exercise in how to read the BS.
