Recently passed my C& G 2365 level 3 exam and 17th Edition exams last week ( taken 3 years via night school) - I was wondering if anyone can help dispel the myths or confusion existing regarding the C & G 2394 and 2395 because I was told by NAPIT that I would not need to take the 2394 or 2395 to sign off my own certs but I have been told by other students that 2394 and 2395 is required to prove competence in testing and fault finding. Moreover I have promised my wife that I will never take another course ever again but am wondering whether I was a bit hasty? Could someone give constructive comments?

you do not need any qualifications to sign off your own certs, all 7671 says is you must be competent. but you will need qualifications to join a scam

 
Depends whether you want to work for yourself just house bashing or do more commercial/industrial work with a firm. If you get job with a JIB firm then can't see you getting an approved electrician grade without them.

Catch 22 situation.

A bit hasty saying you wouldn't do any more courses, if you want to be a competent electrician, then there will be lots of courses for you into the future.

 
I know when i did my 2330 and 17th in 2013, i did ask Napit to join them and ask what could i do (mainly because there is so many diffenet job titles)
Told me all i could do was Kitchen Fitting, bit upset about that, so i asked what i needed to be come Full Domestic
Was told 2394/5, so i did that in 2014 (Non C&G version but was expected)

Called back again and Signed up, 5 days before my site test, they emailed me 5pm on Friday (so i couldnt reply) saying i didnt have 2yr Working so i couldnt do the Full Scope!! i tried to scream what could i do then!! longest hours of my life and never did get a reply, the guy who was coming to test me said he would tell me every thing,  didnt know that was a cost of £200 and he seemed DAM in a rush to run off.

But not really needing 2394/5 to sign up with NAPIT, dose seem a bit worthless of £1100 and (2weeks for me) of course work
