17th Edition Update, exam only.

[pauljpickering8]

Just been ringing round trying to book my 17th update asap whilst I havent got much work on and one place has offered me exam only for £100 + V.A.T.

How difficult is the exam? its only multiple choice so I cant see it being that hard but want to verify before I commit myself to the course.

Any past papers, sample questions, etcd would be much appreciated.

Paul.

i got mine on monday, as long as you can reference i wouldn't worry.
you've obviously done the 16th so it will be same-ish format.

We have got a 2382-20 course running this weekend.

 

[pauljpickering8]

Ive never done 16th because ive only just recieved my nvq 3 recently, i'm eligible for the update because i did my 2330 before a certain date.

Gave Linda a call and she was very helpfull, just abit too expensive for me as it would cost me 40/50 in diesel travelling down for the 2 days. Thank you for your help anyway.

 

[cagedanimal2010]

the update is for people who have done there 16th. you will have to look in to doing the full 2382 course.

No mate, I'm eligible becuse I onl got my 2330 level 3 within the past 2 years I think. Think its because I passed the back half of my exams to 17th reg exam questions

I also did the update last Thursday at tradeskills4u , I too didn't have my 16 th as I was eligible because I just got my lvl 3 2330, it's all about navigating your way through the book, I wouldn't say it was difficult. I paid £175

 

[pauljpickering8]

I've took the gamble and done the exam only, quite confident and its only costing me £117. advertised for a copy of the regs on here, if not i'll go buy some on monday, need a copy for the van anyway.

 

[Ryanthomas]

I flew to London did 17th 1 day and part p the next, both £175 . Where are you doing yours Paul ?

 

[pauljpickering8]

Hyde, Manchester, only half an hour drive from my house, cant afford these fancy jetting around the country courses lol

Paul I'd check into this a bit more if I was you. I also completed my 2330 L3 just after the 17th came out and my college gave us all a discounted 2 day course and exam for £60. Maybe giving you the update because its faster and better for them but in the end you are only going to be tested on the amendments and not on the full regs. I don't know what an employer would say when looking at your certs? I'm interested in the outcome of this one. I'll post a question in the general forum and see what answers come up.

 

[pauljpickering8]

Good point, luckily I havent yet Paid for the exam so if anything crops up I can just back out.

 

[Ryanthomas]

Haha uve been taught to the 17th so the update is adequate. And cheaper, if you can pass your 301 u can pass this

 

[pauljpickering8]

Passed it, was alot easier than I thought it would be.

I bought the 2382 exam simulator from http://www.lecsoft.co.uk which was great, got me a distinction in the real exam
Then i booked directly with a private college to sit the exam only for £60 - i think it was Severn College Electrical Training :: Home
