Just joined up, but been quite a stalker in the background
Been working in the fire alarm industry for around 8 years now, i completed my 2330 lvl 2 and 3 (and 17th) around 2 years ago, and since then havent done much electrical work, done a lot of fault finding on 3ph smoke vent systems, diagnosing contactors etc. anyway my boss has just offered to pay for the inspection and testing course which im chuffed about as this is "the final piece of the puzzle", his reason is mainly for things like new fused spurs for psu's or new panels etc etc.
anyway having looked around it seems the 2391 is ceased in 2012, the 2392 is almost compared to a beginners I&T course but is limited to domestic and new installs only.
this leads me onto the 2394 course, from what ive read i will be able to do PIR's, new and existing domestic and commercial installations.
1. Am i correct with the above assumptions?
2. Not afraid to get my books back out and re-educate myself with the help of some fellow colleagues (i have a relative is VERY good at I&T'ing so hes offered to let me follow him on a few jobs) is the 2394 to big of a jump for me with my limited experience?
i dont really want to do the 2392 then work up as 1. It wont benefit my boss and 2. I wont use it as we dont do domestic work.
3. Should i go the whole hog and do both 2394/2395 at the same time.
Thanks for reading and take your best shot!
