[QUOTE="tom79, post: 74453, member: 5127"] Well if your goal is to work as a domestic electrician, or as a mate I found that a good number of jobs I see advertised require 17th edition as it shows an understanding of working to the regs. The test its self seems quite simple, its all book based, no practical what so ever, its a 60 question multiple choice test with a pass mark of 60% or more, and... you get to take the book in the test room with you! I like you also have been out of the game for a little while, so after passing this ill then start ot look for a job as a mate, Then when working as a mate I can look at getting some more experiance and getting part p registered. I guess it will all boil down to what you want to do in the end mate. The bottom link you posted is the course I am doing, well I say course, im just doing the test but if you done the course least you get your foot in the door at the college, have someone there who can give you some good advice. Please remember with my advice I am not a practicing sparky, yet! but from the research I have done, from the advice I have been given, this seems a good way in. Try to think where you want to end up, what sort of work you want to do and work backwards, what are the jobs in the area you want to work requiring you to have for example. [/QUOTE]
