- Start date
i have just finished level 2 also. Will let you know how level 3 goes if thats any help!!!!!!
2330 level 3 much same as level 2 but more intense deeper subject knowledge required.
Lots about motors, inspection and testing, fault finding and diagnostics.
You'll have one gola exam on H&S and electrical princibles and therory lots about motors in that one.
2 written exams one on inspection and testing, one on fault finding about 40-45 question on each exam paper they say 16 questions but normally 3 parts to questions.
Then you will have 2 assignments again I&T and fault finding. In these papers you will need to fill out method statements, risk assessments, describe inspection and test procedures, expected results, tool selection etc...
Then finally, practical exams that follow up your 2 assignments. I&T and fault finding.
These will include filling in EIC and schedules of inspection and schedules of results, inspecting for non compliance of BS7671/GN3 and fault finding on circuits.
These 2 assignments take about 10 hours and 6 hours, the two written exams are about 2 hours, gola an hour I think (40 questions) the written exams do touch a little on BS7671:2008. Your allowed your regs book and OSG in written exams and assignments but not for gola.
Hope this helps think, I've covered most of it.

Usually the ones that don't think they need help need the most
A pleasure to help, good luck if you decide to go for it and well done on your level 2.
If you want any recomendtion on publication that might help you, just drop a line.
Thanks for the info scarypants. I ask because I don't work in electrical installation, though I do dabble with electrics in my maintenance job. Slightly worrying as I've just paid for yr 3. The teacher has recommended publications so I'll stick with his advice so as not to end up reading too much and brainwashing myself! ZETEC, are you in the industry?
canduit;
Don't let the fact that your not working in the industry put you off or worry you. The course is do-able without being employed as an electrician.
Of course it helps to have a bit of hands on.
I'd suggest you learn you subject matter(get your head around the different types of motors and what they are used for and how they operate, the gola exam is biased to motors)
If room somewhere build up a board with a ring final circuit with 6 sockets on, a couple of radial circuits and a couple of lighting circuits and get used to the testing procedures and expected results, try get some resistance in the circuits to get a good idea of what the readings should be and get a few copies of test forms and schedules so you can get used to filling them out, some good examples in OSG.
You will need test meters to do this, they are not cheap but could be worth investing in one.

Yeah that is a problem. If i had a meter, I could go round testing mates houses for free! Just to get used to the processes.
Hopefully your training, provider will give you lots of opportunity to test during your course work the last two practical assignment will need a good knowledge of the using of the meters.
I was lucky that during my training they let me go in on the days/evenings that I was not officially learning, to get used the meters and testing procedures. In the end I was teaching half my class how to carry out testing, which was a little weird at first but got to really enjoy it.
I was very much in the same situation as you, went to college without being in trade as such, did a little for friends and family and odd bit at home and repairs at work but it was not my job. but had an interest and challenged myself to do it.
Good luck with college work don't hesitate to post any queries i'll look at for them.
