2391 Scheme of Work

[SgtTrojan]

Anyone here in training and have a general plan of the course?

Thinking:
A sharing best practice group. Hmmm. Swap resources, storys and more.

Hi Gareth

Drop me an email if you want some 16th edn ones, addy is in my profile - same as MSN messenger.

We've got most of the past papers. It was more a plan of the course I needed really. A scheme of work is what a training organisation should use so they can plan the course resources out etc.

IE
Day 1 - Introductions to course; Preparation for inspection and testing
Day 2 - etc etc.

I'll drop you an email anyway

if it's anything like our course was, it's:-
day 1. part 1. + introduction
day 2. parts 2 and 3
day 3. chapter 41 and basic maths
day 4. chapter 42 and basic maths again because the idiots can't figure out ohms law..
day 5. chapters 43 and 44, and basic maths again.........
day 6. chapters 51 and 52, and half a lesson "'cos the footies on"...
day 7. chapters 53, 54.
day 8. part 6 and half a lesson in the lab, 6 to a test board..
day 9. part 7
day 10. rest of part 7, half a lesson in the lab again, still 6 to a board

They're a bit easy compared to some of the 2391 papers I have seen!

The answers are always the same - only the questions vary.

I have done every single paper over the last five years and last night's was a really good exam - but I bet the pass rate is low, because so many centres teach by simply cramming past papers.

Er... I think you'll find that was a 2382!

That is far too complicated for such a short course - schemes of work and lesson plans are never for the benefit of the trainees or the course providers; they are bureaucratic hoops for college lecturers to jump through.

Why not just use the syllabus, which is freely available from C & G and split it up into 3-4 days?

(Our course is based on a ten-hour day with up to 4 hours homework for each of the first three days, plus an easy eight-hour day before the 2&1/2 hr exam at the end! Our students love it - ask 'em! )

I don't think the 2382 contains any practical work at all.

2391 inspection and testing..

goes over the regs again noting the relavent points for general testing purpouses..

Well I never - so not many passed then? 'Cos that's arse-about-face

Was this at a college - looks like a night class?


(To JohnnyG - no reason why a regs course might not include some practical demonstration, but the outline given by ColJack is that of the regs and excludes many elements of the 2391 syllabus!)
