Too soon for 17th Edition 2382...?

[SSOTN]

Hi all. I'm coming towards the end of my 2330 Level 3, and mid way through my NVQ Level 3 aswell, thinking about booking up the 17th Edition for beginning of the summer? How much is involved? I have my written exams left to do and will be sinking my head deep into books and notes for them, but will I be needing to knuckle down with prep for the 17th? Or is it genuinely nothing major? Heard a few people say it's easy, but you not what sparks are like!

Any other pointers with regards to the 2382 much appreciated. How much am I likely to be looking at? I live in sunny Southampton so if anyone knows of a good place to go in the Hampshire area that would be much appreciated aswell.

Thanks in advance for any info/help.

Do you need the 17th edition?
I asked this question as I passed exams that were based / taken on the 17th edition of the regs and was told it was not nesessary, as the 17 was an upgrade if you passed on an earlier edition.
was this correct

17th is only an upgrade if you got 16th after 2001

all employers will want you to have 17th ed. as well as 2330, etc.

I know that, but will I have my 17th automatically on completion of my 2330? Or do I need to complete the 2382?

 

[telectrix]

you will need to do the 2382-10. it's not automatic with 2330

The 17th update course is no longer, it died with the birth of the 17th edition amendment 1. The only option now to get the 17th is to do the full course.

the 2382 is nothing to worry about. Its all about finding answers in abook so would not worry about it. Personally i think its a right waste of time as I had plumbers on my course with no electrical back ground and they were passing.

You will need green copy of 7671 and green OSG...try amazon rather than wholesalers
