[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 451793, member: 1607"] From previous posts over the years, it is evident that some of the "short course" providers are only actually teaching wiring regulations and building regs basic info. Not actually teaching the electrical science theory and calculations needed to design circuits correctly. There is a small A5 companion booklet to the full wiring regulations called the On Site Guide, This has a lot of quick ref information for "standard circuit arrangements" used in domestic and small single phase installations. I get the impression that some of these courses never get to reference a full wiring regulations book BS7671, only the On Site Guide. As we have had numerous questions in the past from people working as "electricians" yet they are unable to do basic calculations using the reference tables and formula in the full regs book. They also sound overpriced for what you get, and sometime what you get is not needed such as PAT testing! Doc H. [/QUOTE]
