I’m assuming the answer is quite a few of you? If so what did you think of it and how beneficial do you thinks it’s been to your career and overall knowledge?

Yeah I’ve been told it’s fairly difficult. That’s what I’m hoping for in terms of giving me a deeper understanding of the regs and a generally better understanding of the process involved during designing as this is ultimately the direction I want to go inDone it, hardest written exam I’ve ever done. It has greatly improved my understanding of the regs how to apply them to designs.
Apparently so. 40 man hours is the allotted timescale so I’m told. Looks quite an interesting project though to be fair but maybe that’s just me being sad lolSomething I'd be looking at in the not too distant future, quite a full on coursework/assignment as well is it not?

Don’t know that that this qualification will give you a better understanding of the Wiring Regulations?
I have looked into the he hnc/hnd quals but from what i can gather it’s 2-3 years university? Unless you know otherwise and have any tips?
Yeah I was talking more specifically about the regs that apply to design because like I say that’s the direction I want to go in. What do you know about the hnc/hnd then mate?It gave me a better understanding of the design requirements/advice, mostly the appendices, but not of the regs as a whole.
It is something I would like to do and would probably thoroughly enjoy but I’m not sure I’ve got the time for that. I would never see my kids and I don’t see them as much as I’d like to now. It’s not the cheapest of courses either. Your looking all in a good 10-15 grand depending on how far you go. Think I’ll have to settle for the 2396 and then a course in autocad and revit.I don't I'm afraid, but I think those timescales are right. It's not something I have done, but have heard that the 2396 is not a very useful or progressive course if higher education is your ultimate aim.
Quite a good course if you are not going to though.

Have you gone on to get your site technician gold card or equivalent then or did you settle for the approved?In that case I would thoroughly recommend the 2396 as a rewarding experience.

Are you employed or self employed then?None of that. My card ran out years back and I have no need to renew it presently.
