2365 exam centres

jamiewalk1 · Aug 17, 2015

Hi, Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do the C+G 2365 level 2 exam without doing a course. I already have level 3 qualifications in electronics and am transferring across to electrical, I am going to do a level 3 2365 course in full but would like to just take the level 2 exam without the course as I already have experience. I am in Norwich but can travel.

Thanks, Jamie

I came from a Electronics and computers background, but Level 2 for the 2330 version was more hands on work and learning, i wouldnt say much to do with the MATHS of Electrical's
Bit of Cable Calcs and Phase maybe (did more of that in Level 3)

I dont think you will pass some of the exams with just LEVEL 3 Electronics.

Hi, Thanks for the comments, I was hoping to just do the exam for level 2 due to getting time off work for training as I will have to use some holiday etc..it looks like I might have to try and do a couple of weeks here and there to get the Level 2 and then do the same for Level 3. I am looking to use one of the training centres like Able Skills, it's hard fitting a full 6-7 weeks in as I do shifts and they wouldn't let me off for that length of time even using holiday, I will give a few of the training centres a call and see if they have any ideas. Many thanks, Jamie

you can do just the 2365 level 3 as long you do the 501 h&s

Colleges and FE make their money from courses and you passing
There isn't much money to be made from just letting you do the exam with a high risk of flopping, what looks bad on the center

To get on to a level 3 electrical's you would have to do a level 2 within the same range, of courses.
So a heath and safety qualification just wouldn't cut it, there is also so many areas within heath and safety, working around big trucks (basically stay out of the way)
