Hi All,

My company are sending me on the inspection and test course. I am not training to be an electrician (I am a design engineer) but have been requested to have these qualifications.

I have 17th Edition and guidance note 3, do I need the on site guide too?

Many thanks
B.

Tho i think its more GN3 than any thing else.. i think its more a bigger print of the Onsite guide for the testing

C&g 2394 & 2395

Ba7671 and gn3 are required but the on site guide is helpful aswell, I'm doing the courses just now, there's a lot to take in and a lot of effort required outside of the classroom, if you understand everything you should be fine the big thing is correct terminology, things slip when you are on site and haven't been in a classroom for years!!! Good luck!

Did alright with it , managed 100% in the multi choice 40 question exam. Passed both written exams as well. The practicals went smoothly also.

You have to complete - 1 multiple choice 40 question exam about 80 minutes allowed for this one., 2394 written exam, 2395 written exam, Both exams are 2 hour time limit. Then a 3 hour practical on Initial verification, & 3 hour practical on periodic inspection.

If you put the time in i am sure you will be fine with it.

Be familiar with what is statutory and non statutory legislation etc. EAWR, GS38, 7671, guidance notes etc etc.

Read GN3 as much as possible. Practice drawing out the different earth fault loop diagrams and label appropriately. Earth electrode testing etc.

Remember that the use of correct terminology is key in these exams.

Good luck with it all.

Have a look at the city & guilds website and type in the course numbers. You can read the chief examiners report on the latest exams that have taken place. It will give you an idea of where candidates were loosing marks etc.

I didn't know that, thanks.
I managed to get a copy of the on site guide in Waterstones today.
I'm looking forward to the challenge!

Just a quick update on my course. Apparently the course is the EAL Level 3 not C&G.
Has anyone else done this course?
I have passed the practical assessments for Initial Verification and I have the written test tomorrow.
Then on to Periodic Testing.
Hopefully I will pass them all :)

We have been advised that we can use a scientific calculator if we wish for the EAL test.
I have taken today off to really study hard :)

all maths exams say that, and NO ONE HAS EVERY CHECKed... even after I've reset mine and lost all my wonderful programs :'(

I did have a mate with a Casio Programmable Calc (one of the first id seen) i programmed it for Triangles and that sort of formulas but i dont think he had a clue how to use his own calculator

Ti83 are nice (like all the Texas Range) Very nice to program

Do you get your results straight away then?

With the C&G 2394/5 i was not informed if i had passed for at least 6 weeks, think it was more like 8 though.

Well done by the way. :)

I think I was 4 days away from 3 months after taking my 2391 that I got a certificate through, no letter before or after, just the cert. had a fairly good idea I'd passed as two mates had taken it at the same time and had letters informing them that they'd failed a month before I got my cert. NOT a nice wait though!

As for the easy marks with the earth fault loop diagram, I nearly failed on that! Either done a TNS for a TNC-S or vice versa and only noticed on my check through. Suffice to say that the second diagram wasn't as tidy as the first haha.

Indeed it is all multiple choice. 55 questions in 90 minutes with the results in ten minutes :)
You are allowed gn3 but there are around half of the questions that require knowledge not in the book.

It is probably not as hard as C&G but I am still happy to have passed!

Cheers for the good wishes :)

Well I took the Periodic exam today and passed :)

This one is 40 questions in 60 minutes.
I used GN3 in only four questions.

There were a lot of coding questions as expected!

I just have the 4 hour practical on Thursday then I am done :)
Cheers

Well done,
Did you get told much about what to expect in the 4 hour practical ?

Yes, it is a 3 phase dB that splits to a single phase board with all the trimmings.
There is a motor controller too.

First two hours initial inspection then two hours Periodic.

Filling in paperwork too.

I took the final practical today...... and passed :)
It was very intense and I am shattered lol
A full EIC with 2 result sheets as there is a sub board.
Followed by an EICR after faults have been added.

Three C2's and a C3 (for circuit identification).

I enjoyed the day but I am glad it is over :)
Cheers

Always be learning.. once you have a trade as you have you can add little things to it.

and when the Money comes in you can start to study things you are intrested in, and try and make a mark on this planet.
So easy and so many people just live and vanish.

I would love to have some credited to me.

Apart from this
