Had my elecsa assessment today and pleased to say I passed I thought I would post up questions asked ect for other forum members who are taking there first assesment my assessor was mr michael mayhe who was very helpful and put me at ease from the start.

no of energy efficient lights in new builds
extraction ventilation rates.
Testing my job was a consumer unit install
SAFE ISOLATION
r1 r2 on radial cuircuit ,didn't have to test ring but had to explain how this would be done and what reading would be expected.
Checked sleeves on switch wires.
performed ze Pfc psc was asked what reading would be expected tncs <.35 ohms ect.
zs on sockets asked max for certain cuircuits
rcd test on sockets asked to explain reading testing currents ect.
all in all was not as bad as I thought it would be ,and gained an A no observations if you know how to test you will be fine.
i have recently enrolled on the 2395 to further my learning the assessor said that from next year the enrollment process will be changing for elecsa the qualifications you will need will be a minimum of nvq level 3 along with current wiring regs however he did not say when these changes are coming into place .
