Well no offence but its not a test i'd sit just for the crack of doing so lol! Yeah i'm a big failure! :oops: :cry: This will be my second time, mind you i passed my driving test 2nd go so hopefully this will be the case for this course!Fingers crossed like! I found last time the...

Haven't read all this article but i bought the regs and i am currently studying for the 2391 course so if anyone wants to type a whole load of stuff orientated around testing and inpection be my guest! :lol: Wish Sparky heaven was still online! Practice papers and all sorts! :cry:

Right guys thanks for the advice i think i've made my mind up. I'm gonna keep reading my old books (16th including GN3, NICEIC testing & inspection, Brian Scaddens book too) plus obviously the regs (17th) that i have. I'm also gonna buy these four books reasonable prices you lot reckon...

The college i'm studying at suggest 2 books (on-site guide and regs). It's a brand new college and you can't even hire/loan any books from their library!(SHOCKING)! I'm definately going to buy the OSG 17th and already as mentioned before got the 17th regs. Started reading the NICEIC test and...

Hi folks i'm starting the 2391 course 3rd feb, 12 week night course and am wanting to get the right books to revise from. I have the new regs already but this will be the 2nd time i'm sitting the course as i unfortunately failed last time out. I have books from back then as testing and...

Thanks Adam, the building consists of 2 seperate businesses, one being a newsagent which is getting tested first, next door (same building however) is a bakery. They are served electrically seperately as the bakery shop has a 3 phase supply whilst the newsagent is single phase. However both are...

Thanks Taylor for your advice, the link looks like it sustains some bulk info cheers. I have already told my sister to let him know that she has a spark for a brother but will get her to put the point of test only across to him that makes sense. The shop isn't huge and only has one ring...

Yep i'll look out for any simple failings i can put right. I wish i was wise with what things are test failures apart from the obvious really, ie dangerous hazardous wiring and dodgy megga ohms readings. For example i don't know if its best my sister has a 17th edition mcb/rcd fuse board and...

Thanks for uploading this, will be useful!

Thanks Rocky, are you a tester by any chance?

Hi there, i'm a qualified spark but don't have 2391 and no real on-site testing experience. The thing is my sister owns a couple of businesses and she is due to get her premises tested by a certified contractor. I don't want her getting fobbed into providing work for the electrician if it...

Thanks ricicle. I'm pretty confident about the individual tests, obviously in getting (R1 + R2) in doing seperate continuity tests and the IR test. I know to take all control gear out and short any sensitive equipment out. Though because of the lack of experience i'm a little less confident in...
