absolutely! £108 every 3 years from every card holder. note that some questions are not common sense, but rather irrelevant "knowledge"; "what hse stands for" and the like. study recommended for that reason.

thank you very much for that info. all true! even the ECS helpdesk people sent me to do some other H&S courses. i done the one from your link and it was just fine. £54, 1 hour study, 12 minutes exam, invigilated by webcam. done and dusted. ECS card on the way

:)

yes, i swapped the smoke sensor with another one to test and no more trips as well as no more trips without one. there is a ceiling plug-in rose for these in each room - it has no exposed live blades so it is safe to leave one empty until i get a replacement. i follow the routine when...

a fire alarm sensor spurred within ceiling. not mentioned on periodic. all other fire alarm equipment is on its own ring, so i could have not suspected that. anyway, 5 minutes fix. again. thank you everyone for help!

Update on my troubles: Dropped the wires for the ring in question 'downstairs sockets'. There is no N-E fault within this circuit - it's open according to 9V multimeter. Regardless whether the 'downstairs sockets' is wired to CU or not, there is a consistent ~40 Ohm between Neutral bus and...

i think that this is TT. plastic sheath on the incoming cable which comes from overhead pole. earth provided by a rod.

Thank you everyone for fantastic responses! Kind and helpful :-) I have now removed all 8 double sockets leaving bare, exposed wires. Tested all sockets with multimeter - fine, no shorts. Mapped all wires so I have a diagram. Found 1 spur to a double socket on the other side of wall. This is...

on some other forums found that it may not always trip on NE fault. although, to my experience, working on circuits had to always be careful no to touch the neutral cos i would knock the RCD along with lights. thinking (hard). perhaps there is something spurred of the ring? will find out soon.

EDIT: faulty fire alarm sensor spurred within ceiling was causing the RCD to trip. not mentioned in paperwork. all other sensors are on a separate ring, so this one is a mystery. electronic device which caused L-E fault only when powered up so this would have probably came up on a megger (if i...

Part P of the Building Regulations C&G 2393 "Training" is as much as a few hours reading :LOL: but with the 60% pass mark, one could skip the reading and just proceed to "exam".

Guidance would be appreciated as I don't know where to start with the 'cards'. I have - NVQ level 3 Electrical Installations - 18th Edition - Part P - little experience (4 years as on site maintenance electrician) Looking to get jobs as a mate on refurb / rewire contracts. Which card do I...

it worked out fine. passed 85% following their online training course. no issues except the damned face masks required for bloody 2 hours sitting the exam.

Thank you. That is helpful. I think, I will book test with them.

i googled and it shows at https://www.reviews.co.uk/company-reviews/store/mjelectrical-training1 There is not a single bad review there which is unexpected. I anticipated to find some comments like "the room was cold", "the invigilators were harsh" etc, but no, all 5 star. Looks dodgy to me...
