Well, just completed my written exam 303 fault diagnosis. Seemed to go well and is a weight off my shoulders. Just got my 301 in 3 weeks and that's it (until 17h edition a week later and 2391 in August). So close now I can smell the money;)
 
Do you know what version of the paper you sat? I beleive City an Guilds submit versions A,B,C,D,E and F and then its down to the college to chose which its students sits.
