Is it this one? http://www.cityandguilds.com/docume...-L4A-DV-Electrical-Installations-QHB-v1.1.pdfAlso worth a mention is that you can only sign up to do the new 2396 course if you already have both 17th regs and 2391 inspect & test.
Hi
On questions 6 do they require all working out as its only a 3 mark question e.g
Rt = 1/r1 + 1/R2 +1/R3
Rt = 1/120 + 1/80 + 1/60
Rt = 0.008 + 0.0125 + 0.0166
Rt = 1/0.0371
Rt = 26.95 ohms
Or is there a shortened method which would achieved the same mark
My understanding of the 2396 design course from discussions on the IET forum is that its no more difficult than the old 2400 even though the new course is a level 4 qualification.
And further good news is that the inspection and testing elements that were in the the 2400 have been removed.
Also worth a mention is that you can only sign up to do the new 2396 course if you already have both 17th regs and 2391 inspect & test.
But as you mention , its quite expensive at around £700 and not many venues are running the course.
I hope to do it myself this year but its not guarranteed.
Not strictly true mate, you can put down a total load of nonsense but if you get the right answer you will get 1 mark. The way it works is if the question is worth say 5 marks you get 1 for each stage of the calculationFormula should be 1/rt=1/r1+1/r2+1/r3
The way the answers are marked, I am informed, is that if you put the wrong formula down, what ever you put down after, even if it is correct, you will not get any marks for it.
Hi Trev. the guidance for examiners marking the 2391 scripts is the answer to the questions have to be based on the correct assumptions. Strictly if you start off wrong then anything following which may be correct is ignored in the answer. this is one reason why it has such a low rate of pass.Not strictly true mate, you can put down a total load of nonsense but if you get the right answer you will get 1 mark.

When I resat the course we had a guy called Mike Enniss lecturing, he had been on the examining board and I'm just repeating what he told us mate
I knew that, me and you against the world ArchySorry Trev, I'm saying the same as you!
I'll leave this in your capable hands.
You mention revisiting it and thinking "why did I worry" don't you think that's just because the pressure is off and you have more experience to base your judgment on
