did my am2 and went over on my installation anyone know if thats a straight fail

[chopper]

as said in the tiltle i did my am2 over last 3 days but i went over by 33 mins on my installation, does anyone know if thats a fail.
all my istallatin was elecrically sound and all test results were good, and functional test everything worked, just a bit worried about going over my time.

on fault finding i did 7 faults and went over by 7 mins
on safe isolation i had half hour spare
on testing i had about 50 mins spare
on line test i used my full allowence

any avice, anyone heard anything?

[chopper]

how do u know, u know someone whos failed for this, examiner didnt seem bothered that we went over however he did write it down,
anyone got any more experiences with this situation

 

[DurhamSparky]

EXAMINER = Independant!!

chap who works for me just did his AM2 last week and got 146/147, he was told if he goes over on time its a Fail and that part of AM2 needs to be resit!

I did mine at taunton, had an oldish guy doing the IV he was quite nice all the way through said what he thought ide done well and not so well. anyhoo i passed the only negative thing I can remember was i forgot to put the oval on one end of the MI.


He writes it all down and then it'll go off to an EV.


Good luck!!

, its hard i did mess about making it look neat though,he was talking to us all time tranna put us off, cheers for the heads up though pal
im sure
anyone else had any other experience pefebly better lol

 

[chopper]

cheers liam did u do it itin the time, what do u mean with oval and mi, lol

 

[Liamsparks]

I was within time, saved time on testing by doing R2's to the faceplate screws on switches and sockets - shhhh! (OBVIOUSLY WOULDN'T DO IN REAL CONDITIONS)

we did installation seperate to our testing, iwas went half hour over on my installation, but 1 hour spare on my testing,
thus in total leaving half hour spare does it work ilke this

 

[robsparx]

Unfortunately mate I don't think that's how it works. I could be wrong though, it's been a few years since I did mine

 

[chopper]

ok cheers,
has anyyone ever passed there am2 , but gone over the time limit

 

[Liamsparks]

I doubt it mate, that seems an obvious fail to me for that section. if you fail a section you only have to retake that part. I cant remember the whole set up for the thing but remembered it was in 3 or 4 sections.

 

[RWJ]

Think it's a fail.. Thought that was the hole point of it being timed was to make sure you knew what you were doing in a decent (ish) time scale and under pressure..... Just like the real world where we're not given enough time!!!

 

[chopper]

after we had finished , a other tutor came in an saw all the times, he said that it wasnt bad??, thats whats thrown me,

 

[chopper]

well people i passed my installation, and safe isolation and inspection and test, but i failed my on line exam and the fault diagnosis aswell so i need to retake these 2 tests

 

[brucelee]

unlucky mate now you know whats involved and the time you have sure you will accomplish it now in the required time

 

[chopper]

hopefully pal, its them 7 faults in one hour its a killer

 

[Jonesy83]

from what i remember the fualts werent to bad just need take a logical approach the 1 that threw me was the fualty light switch got it in the end tho i had 2 mins spare on my install so i cut it fine on that

When I done mine (about 4 years ago) You were allowed to take 30 or 45 mins out of your 2 hour testing time for your install. Think I went into mine by about 12 minutes and I still passed. When I was doing it they stopped anyone who ran over time, if incomplete we were told this is not a fail, it's like a minor mark (bit like the driving test I suppose). They also said you quality of work can only be judged on what you've completed not what you haven't done. So there maybe hope for you mate, although like I'm talking about 4 years ago.

Hi I have just done my second day of the exam and I think I may have failed. I used 3 core flex instead of 4 on the heating so I missed one connection with made it so the hot water did not turn on. Would this be an instant fail or would I just loose marks?

 

[Johnuk]

u will have to retake the whole unit again mate, u have to get 100% on all units
