Cheapest way to update to 17th edition

grumpygit · Apr 18, 2012

Hi Fellow Sparks.

My first post on here

Just completed my assesment today with Elecsa after transferring across from Napit. All was fine, sailed through the testing etc etc, the only thing I need to do in the next month is show that I am about to update to 17th edition.
No problems there, that is untill got home and found the price of these courses, what a rip off.
I am quite happy just taking the test and doing the homework under my own steam.

Any advice anyone?

I did mine with these http://www.***********.co.uk/ £130:00 all in. You just need to do the revision yourself at home then go for the exam.

Makes me laugh when it's called a course. This is how you use an index, and this is where you find chapter/section titles. Guess what? The information you need is in the relevant section!

Oh, I forgot that the links arent allowed. So you need to visit a web site called *********** with some w's infront and a dot at the end followed by co, then another dot followed by uk.

If you know the regs why bother with a course, I didnt! I phoned Lockwells in Tewkesbury and asked if it was possible to sit C&G exam without taking the course and they said I could at my own risk (of failure!!) all I had to pay was the £70 exam fee. Simples

I must be one of the few people who actually enjoyed doing the 17th edition course. A chance to pick the tutor's brains over a few things and "talk shop" with several other sparkies.
