    Too early for NVQ?

    Morning everyone. I was wondering if it is too early to sign up for an NVQ. I'm at college studying for the level 3 2365 and am not yet lucky enough to have a job in the trade so would it be silly of me to register for the 2356 NVQ? I know I'd have a couple of years to complete it but am I...

    Is the 2395 too difficult

    Hi all i am thinking of doing a 2394/5 course. The problem is I talked to a friend and he said he had been told that the 2395 was too difficult and has a 94% fail rate. And because of this they are going to make the exams easier so I should hold off doing it. Has anyone else heard these...

    is it too late?

    Hi guys; I could use some advice! I'm possibly about to be made redundant after a long time with the same company, and if it happens I would (in principal) love to train to be a pro sparky. I've got my (pre 1st amendment) 17th cert, and have a good understanding with regard to fundamental...

    not too dimmed

    Hi, have a lighting circuit containing about 16 phillips led down lighters. They are on a dimmer switch but when dimmed, very little happens to their brightness. Put in a new dimmer and still the same. Any ideas?? Candles is not an option.

    Voltage tester, am i thinking about this too much?

    Hi all, possibly a stupid question, but input from professionals would be appreciated. Im looking to buy my first voltage tester, (probably fluke) and have been looking at a few. I understand there are ones with a self test function, or without then you buy a proving unit with it. My thought...

    Cooker Electrics, Too many connections?

    I recently had a gas safety engineer inspect our appliances to which end he had to pull the electric oven unit from its cupboard housing to reach the underside of the gas hob. As he did this I noticed that I have 2 double plugs connected directly to the cooker electrics. (I'm not an...

    Hello guys, I 've been asked to provide power in a utility room with a shower, for a tumble drier, washing machine and boiler. I was thinking that fused spurs will suffice, they would be outside zone 2 but not 3 m away horizontally. Any thoughts? Cheers Tom
