Hi all, as promised in previous thread update of Access2trade training module (for the background on this check out thread “help needed”).
First thing to say is 10 out of 10, the training facility is brand new but caters for all required news, the only down side is poor lunch time menu, but what was on offer was OK.
There were 13 of us doing the course from a cross section of people including a lass from Scotland, and what a great bunch they all were, sure makes a difference to learning when you are all paying for it yourself.
First day and half was spent in the classroom doing theory then out to the workshop.
Purpose built wooden rooms which became our home for two and a half days.
There we installed a consumer unit, did the earth bonding and then installed and wired a light socket with single switch with a ELV spotlight connected via a junction box and a second light working from 2 switches, this might not sound like much but to 13 newbie’s it was a work of ART?
We then dead tested all circuits for earth loop impendence, Zs etc using a very impressive Megger tester, £800 worth we were told?
Then we connected up to the mains and switched on, or not? But we all pitched in helping each other to sort out all the little niggles.
Then back to the classroom and more studying, more tests and then a brief on are part 2 studying module and what we need to do before we return for the second weeks training.
All in all a cracking week with a great bunch of people and a great bunch of tutors who had all the time in the world to spend with us all, but especially are main tutor Wade a totally top class guy, hope I have him next time.
Have included a photo of my work booth with my lights on, sad but I was chuffed to bits to install it all and see it work.

Regards till next update.

Graham

Re: Access2trade careers

Thanks.. I ask because my son is looking at doing this course with A2T and he's unemployed at present and has absolutely no experience at all.

How old is your son?How much will this course set you back.A lot of the colleges can do all these courses at a fraction of the price that these money making companies offer.If he is still under 19 he should get the courses paid for him:confused:
 
Re: Access2trade careers

He's just coming up on 21 and looking for an 'instant' qualification. He doesn't want to go down the college route because of the time it takes. ie up to 4 years. As for cost, he's looking at cool £5.4K which seems an awful lot of moolah to me. But then what do I know? I'm only his father.

Re: Access2trade careers

This is a full time course though...for the 20 days it runs for. It wouldn't be any good for people who can't get time off work to go.

They do evening courses or some companies do weekend courses,how long have you got;)
 
Re: Access2trade careers

however long it takes :) I couldn't do evening courses, I need an at home thing. I don't get home from work till 7.30, so I'm already tired out from that. I need something I can do during my lunch hours at work & on my days off. I've sent off for some info from them though.
 
Re: Access2trade careers

Guitar Graham, how are you finding this course? Have you been looking at job prospects for when you finish?

Is there much support during your learning? Considering the course but very wary of the negative posts on some of the forums out there. This is alot of money at the end of the day :confused:
 
Re: Access2trade careers

Hi Sian

found the course content very good, bear in mind we did 6 solid hours a day for 5 days thats 30 hours in 1 week which is like 2 hours a week on an evening course, ie 2 terms to get to where i am now.

Back up is fantastic wether working at home or on the training course.

not looked at jobs, i am looking at working for myself, thinking of starting off doing handyman jobs then picking up minor electrical work as i go along, but i have got my taxi badge so i can put some shifts in to keep the pennies rolling in.

Working full time at the moment so waiting to get my paid holidays out of the way, hopefully get my part P when i do my 2nd module at the end of July then start punting for work on my weekends off and in the evening.

Cheers Graham

Re: Access2trade careers

Hi Colin

glad to hear from you, i was told that on the Monday we sit the EAL Domestic Electrical
Installers Course (Part P) and only had to know the building regs?

Re: Access2trade careers

Hi to all interested my week 2 update?

Monday morning arrive at centre 8.30, quick brief & coffee break then up to the exam room for Part P exam.

Short intro then a practise session to get used to how the programme works then the online exam.

13 out of 14 pass, happy days i pass?

Rest of week we do 6 more AMAs, 1 lad fail 2 and then struggles with resits and the head tutour suggests he goes home and re-studies and comes back and does it again, with no extra cost which i thought was good.

Pratical we hade to install a consumer unit with bondings and then a cooker outlet with socket and a ring main with a a spur socket and then do dead testing and then live testing, recording results and completing a installation certificate.

On Friday afternoon they perpared us for are 3rd weeks training for the 17th edtion with are new books to study including THE BIG RED BOOK and then talked through the ADIABATIC EQUATION you could see people brains runnings out of there ears, then said " its OK its all in the on site guide " then at 4.45 sent us home.

Really enjoyed myself with a great group of people ones again and cant wait to get stuck into my next batch of study.

Regards

Graham
