Can anyone who has done the 17th edition upgrade course let me know what to expect.Is it just on the new regs they have brought in or is it on the whole thing again.
 
To be perfectly honest it`s pretty much a waste of time. The main objective is to allow colleges/scheme providers etc to vastly over-charge sparks for a day of flicking through the new regs. The scheme providers need to generate revenue but USEFUL AND SENSIBLY PRICES COURSES would be a step forward.

If you look at the economics of running a simple one-day course it is very, very, very profitable.

20 blokes in a room (at £200 per bloke) with one guy droning one for a few hours - kerching!, £2,000 profit.

Givus a job, I could do that!

proffessional io agree however there are some points all be it ones that can be printed off and posted out that do need covering.
There is also the risk of some sparks (i use that term loosly) that need to be sat down and told as they dont know what there talking about. we have all met them.

Anyway company paid for mine!!

Agree with what these guys have said.

It is, literally a couple of days, flicking through the regs and highlighting the changes, and then a 60 minute open book multiguess GOLA exam with results there and then.

Remember to take a pillow.
