    Advice on Finding Work - No Experience

    Hi guys, Not sure if this is the right place to ask since it's more of a general question. I'm looking for a bit of advice. I completed my level 2 and 3 a few years ago and I'm now looking to get into electrics full time. The problem I have is I have no on-site experience. I technically have...

    2365 level 3 complete but never did level 2

    I can't see why it would be an issue. If they felt you could go straight on to level 3 and you've passed that course then why would it matter? As with most courses level 3 is basically level 2 but more in depth. Did you know there's a level 1 electrical installation course? I didn't do that...

    Any advice on getting head aroundPrinciples of science

    I think you're overthinking most of what you have to learn. Chill out and take it as it comes. One of the easiest ways to learn formulas and transposition is by learning how to use formula triangles. Learn these first and the various formulas you need and build upon that. It seems like a lot...

    2365 coursework 615 help with table 1

    Completed this assignment in July. Make sure you check out all areas in detail and read the spec fully 10 times. There's a lot of things in there to trip you up i.e. don't forget lighting for your stair wells, nobody thought about this in my group. Also, a lot of people forgot about the alarm...

    Exam results - should I appeal?

    Exactly what we were told, mate. We were informed about the additional 5 hours on the day as people were worried they wouldn't finish in time.

    Exam results - should I appeal?

    How long did you take overall to complete everything? I had my practical exam last week. We were told we had a max of 15 hours, anything over 10 hours can only be marked as a pass. Maybe this is why you received a pass mark. Don't go appealing anyway, you passed. Be happy with that and move on...

    Trainee Electrician Advice

    Thanks for the advice so far. It seems I was rather naive about CSCS cards. I assumed a CSCS card was a CSCS card, I didn't realise there's various types. Which should I be going for as trainee sparky? I looked into getting trainee ECS but it seems you need employer sponsorship?
