According to C&G info, to be eligible to take the 2391 course and exam you have to be a practicing electrician and actively involved in I&T. So it's not C&G at fault here it's the colleges who will let anyone on the course as long as they can pay the fee. For example, when I did it the second time there was a taxi driver on it who had been told all he needed was 2391 and he would be a spark. Surprisingly enough because of a lack of the basic knowledge he failed.There are people about who have passed the 2391 with little or no practical experience of electrical installations - so I'd argue that having the 2391 isn't the only requirement for being competent.

Ok Howard I stand corrected but, as a college lecturer would you be happy taking a lesson full of lads who couldn't even change a plug top?
I know it's not down to you who gets admitted but I think that the guidance from C&G should sometimes be an instruction
Newcastle college actually have an entrance exam for their 2391 course, what a fantastic idea. Gets rid of chance your arm dafties who have no chance of passing and makes lecturers and students lives easier in the long runTrev,
You are not corrected, you were right in the first place, that is their advice, All i was adding, was that the basic minimum requirement for C&G was a minimum age of 18, so if you are 18 you can do the course. And no i wouldnt let anyone on my courses without experience, it is hard work enough with very experienced people, let alone those with no knowledge. I vet all applicants anyway.
Cheers.........Howard
