pre attendance health and safety test

[patrick clowery]

so i just attempted my first pre attendance health and safety test for trades gateway and failed. i thought i had done pretty well but obviously not lol. the things that are annoying me is one i have to wait 7 days to re take the test and two trades gateway college can not tell me where i have gone wrong with it. so i dont know where i need to brush up. has anyone taken this test and could point me in the right direction. any help would be greatly appricated

There was some discussion earlier about how difficult this test was to actually pass and that it may be they fail you if they do not have enough places free on courses, however this is hearsay based on other forum posts, but may go some way to alleviate the sense of failure if not the annoyance.

 

[patrick clowery]

That can't be true surely

 

[Richard Burns]

I hope not, but the level of failures of what is really a basic test seems extremely high.

 

[patrick clowery]

What the hell am I meant to do then

 

[Richard Burns]

Practice and revise and keep trying, it seems that most pass in the end, I think they are looking for a high pass mark, at the very least, so it is worth getting as good as you can.
Or try a different training provider!!

 

[patrick clowery]

I can't try a different training provider as I'm paying monthly for this

It's passable Patrick. I passed it on my 3rd attempt. Iv just booked my first 2 weeks practical which is july

 

[patrick clowery]

Done it on my second go around just also booked my practical weeks which are in August. What a joke though 2 and a bit months to get into the practical centre

 

[gazdkw82]

which centre you going too?

 

[patrick clowery]

Are you with trades gate way though. That's the name of mine but I'm going to Basildon wanted Watford but apparently it's plumbing only now

 

[gazdkw82]

Don't think it's trades gateway but they are probably a sister company to eachother. I'm going Wolverhampton

 

[patrick clowery]

That was the other one but it's just as far. What do you books look like are they dark red ones like

 

[gazdkw82]

Yeh

i would assume they are very connected in some way

 

[patrick clowery]

Yeah defo you doing the full scope one

 

[gazdkw82]

I'm doing level 2. I'm going to do level 3 somewhere else

 

[patrick clowery]

Wish I had done that they are not very well organised but hey ho.it was the only way I could do a course while still working as I couldn't do the night college as I work crazy hours Monday to Friday sometimes not home till 9 at night like. Oh well will get there just have to grin and bare it lol

 

[gazdkw82]

Yep exactly. I just want to get it done. Get level 2/17th edition and then in an ideal work get a electricians mate job and do level 3 at my local college
