My NICEIC assessor (march 08) told me that I will need to have 2382-20 to ensure my work and certicates are valid from 1st July!!
I would not employ someone who had only done 16th Edition as they might dump me in it! |
Malc, how do you reckon 2391 will be obselete? and what do you think will replace it?
Whatr do you think will happen to all the exisitng 2391 holders?
Look, all that has happened is people who taken 2391 up to now have taken it based on the 16th edition
People who take it from now on will take it based on the17th edition, but, and this is the point, there is NOTHING on the 2391 certificate (other than the date) which states which addition of the regs was in force when the exam was sat
existing 2391 holders simply have to update their regs qual, their 2391 is still (and always will be!) valid, it certainly isnt obselete!
are you aware of what the 2392 is? I have seen you mention it on a few posts
The 2392 is the Fundamental certificate in inspection and testing. It is a Level 2 qual (2391 is Level 3) and concentrates on initial verification only
there is a full test on a simple single phase board and a 45Q multi choice on line exam
it is meant as a 'stepping stone' to the 2391, but is not a requirement.
and regarding the regs and 2391, holding 2381 or 2382 is not a pre-requisite for sitting the 2391
hope this has cleared it up for you
oh, and before you bounce back with "but I was told by.......", I am the training manager for a private company, and teach all of these courses, including 2392 AND 2391, and shall continue to do so !!!!
