Hi.2330 Level 3 or not?

[Noom]

Hi all
Interesting site
I am currently on my final exams for Level Year2 2330.
Do you think this will equipe me to go on to the 17th and 2391?
I don't fancy spending another year doing Level 3 because the tutors are saying the pass rate is only 40 odd percent.Anyway,most jobs i've seen require the 17th and 2391 and not much emphasis placed on L3

Surely you would like to do it whether its 40% pass or not? If you pass it means something then .

A big IF I may add.Considering my past written exams i'm not too hopefull.
and I don't mean the pass mark is 40.The amount of people who pass is 40,and 70 precent drop out rate.Maybe my college is bad? Is this normal

you will need nvq 3 if you ever want to be registered with the jib and thats worth doing

And if you go on to do the 2391, will that be any easier? Probably not by all accounts on here.

2330 Level 3 Provides a good knowledge ready to do 2391 from the parts of the course ive seen.

hi if where you if ya dont fancy doin 2330 level 3 go and do the new qualificatian 2392 tht will teach you some good testing skills tht will set you up for the 2391 ;-)

I have heard of the 2392,but isn't that much of the same as L2.R1,R2,Rings,Bonding etc..
Is the 2391 a theory test,or is there a practical as well.
I was hoping to buy the testing book and learn it myself,and when ready apply for the course.
From what I know the course is about 5 days,and doubt you can barely learn much in that time.
If there is a practical it would make things a bit more difficult,bacase I don't have access to any of the test equipment/rig

no the 2392 is nothin like 2330 level 2 2392 explains how to test new installations witch will but you on ya way for the 2391, the books you need for testing is guidence note 3, onsite guide, you could do with gettin 17th edition aswell but gn3 shows in detail how to test properly also it mite be worth ya wile gettin the NICEIC dvd on inital varifacation for inspection and testing, theres aslo a book on testing buy anthony hinsley witch covers 3 phase systems hope this help ;-)

You should really have a copy of BS7671 whichever course you do as you will use this in your studies.
