That's great but its all in a perfect world, most people have busy lives, families, they might even be doing second jobs in the evening like amazon deliveries to support an ex wife or something, who in the real world has time to sit down and watch 3 or 4 hours or some bod droning on and on, even if you did watch it I doubt much would sink in if the kids are constantly nagging you. Its much easier to find out stuff as and when like I have just done via this forum about the earth. Or alternatively you can devote your life to learning about electrical regs and then you will have all the time in the world because the wife and kids will do one.@oscar21 it's simple. The last big amendment (AM2) cost around £80 to buy.
For the same price (£80) I could go to a trade show, meet some other sparks, visit a few stands, watch a few seminars that outline the most significant changes, and the price included a copy of the regs. So I got the book I would need anyway plus free training. And if that isn't enough I get a bacon and egg breakfast roll thrown in. The real cost was travel to the nearest roadshow (Manchester in my case) and a morning of my time.
If that is too much work there is also a FREE playlist on youtube explaining the changes:
The reality of life is that nothing stands still, we learn more, we become aware of regs that are confusing or being misinterpreted, our use of electricity evolves, so the rules keeping people safe have to change too.
( There's just been a very minor housekeeping update to AM2 which can be obtained free online and can be read in 5 minutes:
Updates to 18th Edition - BS7671- IET Wiring Regulations - https://tinyurl.com/ys2u4uuh )
Take today, my business partner hasn't showed up this morning, probably booze related so I'm not doing nothing, there are about 20 bin bags outside that need to go to the tip so I can carry on building my extension, why would I watch youtube when there is stuff like that to be done. (yes I'm posting on the internet but I've only popped back in for a coffee)
