Which course to refresh for 16th Edition City and Guilds 236 parts i and ii

[jonnydee]

I originally passed my City and Guilds 236 Electrical Installations parts i and ii courses, along with working 4 years for an NICEIC registered company back in 1994. In 2000 I started to work in the Fire and Security Industry, and since 2013 I have been in Rail and Telecoms, as a design /systems engineering resource.

I passed just as the 15th Edition regulations were replaced by the 16th but have not sat the 17th or 18th. I would like to get back up to date, so I could potentially design and complete electrical installations again, with some potentially being in a domestic environment. What is the best way to achieve this. I am aware of Part P but do not have in depth knowledge, I have seen the new cable colours and know the 18th Edition came in to force this year.

Thank you in advance.

I'd buy a BS7671:2018 book and look through that, for starters.
Ask questions on here as well... Most of us are helpful.... (I'm not as I'm an idiot... )

Thanks for the response. I've just looked on the IET site at getting a copy, will get one ordered. The rest, I cannot comment on.

That means he will need to become a 5 week wonder idiot to get his badge does it?

I'm meterdextrous! I have found a course near me, for 2382-18 with C&G Exam, which I am thinking of doing.

Yes, I pay £160 a year also but for reasons beyond just buying books at a reduced price.

Agree, never used them to buy books.

Can I ask Jonny, did you sort this? I'm in a very similar situation.
I qualified at 16th edition and have been installing security systems for a long time now.
Want to get back in to electrical work.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum mate.
I have to ask, if you only have the 16th then what do you do for testing your installs?

Thanks Spoon,
We only install the systems and connect to the provided supply at present.
