What sort of theory were you taught at college Dave just asking for a comparison from my time. I did Electro Technology ( from a book that was referred to as HUGHES by the lecturer, Regulations, Maths, Mechanical theory, crikey memories.
For fine stuff I usually stuff a ferrule on.

Absolutely! First thing I teach my apprentices is how to correctly terminate, check for tightness & integrity and ensure the cables fold back neatly (sockets & switch plates... etc) a major cause of electrical fires are caused by poor connections.There is a lot of detail in the craft of making connections that seems to get overlooked amongst all the complexity of modern electrical equipment. People have forgotten that a bad connection doesn't work, or overheats, just like it did a century ago. There's no magic technological solution to high-resistance joints.
i have bootlace ferrules on my bootlaces.red for port, green for starboard. still manage to get them on the wrong feet sometimes.
that's nothing.when i was a lad just left school, i went for a job with a farrier, shoeing horses. took me all day to realise that the job did not entail chasing the horses round a field shouting SHOO, SHOO.Why can’t I remember that they are called bootlace ferrules, I let myself down each time!

There’s no requirement for ferrules or crimps.Fine stranded conductors must have a suitable ferrule, crimp or in a few specific applications tinned ends when terminating. There's specific regs stipulating that. So by just folding over you're not complying.
Only times they can be terminated "bare" is in dedicated spring clamp terminals that the manufacturer of has specified this can be done.
Onset of dementia?Why can’t I remember that they are called bootlace ferrules, I let myself down each time!
I don’t know, I never listen!Did I say something....
The ones on your boot or shoe laces are called Aglets.Why can’t I remember that they are called bootlace ferrules, I let myself down each time!
I have Velcro on mine cuz my hands don't work proper like innit.The ones on your boot or shoe laces are called Aglets.
Not to be confused with a young eagle.
There’s no requirement for ferrules or crimps.
Just for tacking precautions to protect the core when terminating.
Twisting and doubling over is one method.
