2394/2395 to be scrapped!

[paulk11]

OK, I took these exams over the last 2 weeks so here's how it is:

The 2394 is the 1st week which is still a practical test. This is followed by a multi choice online exam which covers both 2394 & 2395. Then, what used to be the written test is now an online 2 hour test where you have to type in your answers. It really wasn't an issue. The diagrams and scenarios are available at the click of a button to refer to. The earth fault path is now easier as you don't have to draw it - it is already drawn for you and you have to simply identify the route taken and identify by name the different parts of the path.

The 2395 follows the same pattern with a practical and the 2 hour online closed book test.

Still waiting for the results though! Its taken 2 weeks so far to mark the 2394

I don't know why they think the pass rate is too low. I thought it was supposed to be a difficult exam, so that only electricians with the necessary skills and experience could pass it. Having said that I thought the 2394/5 were quite easy when I did them.

I didn't find out i'd passed the 2391 until they sent me my certificate 12 weeks later!

If you put the effort in then they shouldn't be too difficult. I agree that the low pass rate sort the wheat from the chaff and isn't necessarily a bad thing. It certainly challenged a few people on my course - me included.

Best it doesn't take that long; I'm hoping to be out using the skills way before then. I've been told we'll be advised by email.

I knew I'd passed after 8 weeks due to the fact that a couple of lads I took the course with had been sent letters informing them of their failure. All they would tell me though, was that "I'd be contacted soon". So it was 12 weeks in all.

Did you do the written version or the online one ? thanks

Written mate, it was 4 years ago. Don't think the 2391 went on for much longer.
