Advice gladly accepted.
So I’ve spent well over £1000 and loads and loads of time studying for the City and Guilds 2391 exam with the NICEIC. Did the course last week and took and passed the multi choice test on the fourth day, with the practical and written test left to do. I was told when I booked it that I would be given a choice of exam dates during the course. So I ask all week and the poor tutor keeps leaving messages for someone but to no avail.
I speak to someone today and am told someone will ring me back, but no one does.
Anyone had this experience, or got any advice as I really want to do the exams why it’s grease in my mind. Plus as well I am still not qualified to sign off ECIR.
This is the first course I have done with NICEIC, it seams they are not as bothered as the commercial training bodies, no wonder people go to the be trained in ten minutes companies.
Over a grand to do the 2391? Is that how much it cost now?
I can't remember how much it cost for the original 2391 I sat, but the 2394 & 5 that I sat to check the college out for my apprentices charged 700 for the 2 courses (a week of class time and all the exams).
This is true, I am a QS but don't hold such a qualification even though I am constantly advised it would be an idea to consider it. Holding such a qualification may suggest competence but as we all know this is not necessarily the case.
Thanks, the reason for the question really, I was thinking that you may have bee a victim of a scam, but in this case that doesn't seem to be the case, sorry for the seemingly dumb question.
Hi - to provide a report under your CPS (using their name or warranty for example) it’s normal for the CPS to first assess you. In my case they interviewed me, reviewed previous reports and accepted 2391 as sufficient.
The “no exam info” problem you’ve had is a local management issue, in my opinion. My trainer was very well organised
Go onto trustpilot and give them a bad review..
Type niceic into the company search, some erm interesting reviews.
I’ve done this lately with a few companies as an alternative method of resolution..
As soon as I’ve given a single star rating I get an immediate response..
I suspect that as they are not a city guilds centre they do the theory but then look to book you on for exams etc elsewhere but havent managed it. Quite common !
I paid 900 odd for the 2391-52 course in Bristol. Decent legit centre (morris services ltd)

Interesting that Andy - I already have that qualification but I'm interested to know how the eu regional development fund works while we still have access to it

It was only in the local area through a nominated provider and for a limited time.
Rumour was it was to do with Siemens opening a factory in the area and the EU granting the local authority funding to improve the local skill base. It was available for all courses that could be seen as CPD in your chosen trade/skill area.
Not sure I have used the right term by the way.
