Studying for 2330 Lvl 3 + 2391 together

I'm slated to finish my lvl 3 at the end of November and am thinking of doing my 2391 before it changes straight after (can probably get a December course/exam)

Is this doable? I'm thinking it possibly is as the final written exams for 2330 are on Inspection, Testing and Commissioning then Fault diagnosis and Rectification so surely there will be a lot of crossover or am I looking at brain overload?

ar you currently in the trade doing testing?

I'm doing some work with a friend (industrial and domestic), have bought my own tester (fluke 1652) and built a practice board in my garage, which I know isn't much but I'd like to get the 2391 before it changes

I understand the principles etc..In any event have just looked on the C&G website and they say if I sign up for 2391 before Dec 31st I have until Dec 2013 to take/pass the course so will speak to some colleges and see what there plans are re the new course. If they are going to transfer from 2391 to the new set up straight away I may bite the bullet and see how I get on, or if I can sign up and register with C&G then do the 2391 next year i'll wait

Anyway back to the original question is there much crossover between the written exams for 2330 and 2391 or is "that" much more advanced?

i was advised by my tutors to do the exams straight after eachother worked for me, the am2 is a good practice for the 2391 because you do a full inspection in the exam, its all related so imo best to do it while its all fresh, what are the changes in the 2391 is it a big change to the exam?

Cheers mate

so does that mean people with 2382 and 2391 will have to do more exams and workshops?? my tudor is keen to get me on the 17th 2382 course... and didnt mention it changing

The 17th is only changing to follow the format of the new book, so if you do it before Dec 31st you use the red book, after that you use the green book

i never bought the red book , i waited till green came out. so people who have red book 17th will have to do green book 17th+1??? or are they fine?

They'll be fine

ahh in your expierience knowing the red book, makes the green book a piece of wee??? still might do it im sure they will provide me with the red book, just to get out of way

I completed both courses at the same time and found having the 2330 L3 knowledge in mind still was a big help. I say go for it.

The Same as Darren^^
Made everything alot easier as its all fresh in ya melon
Some will disagree.. Oh i did my 2391 half way thru my level 3(I missed 5 weeks of level 3 to do my 2391)
Passed 2391 and got Destintion in 2 parts of level 3 and a credit in the Inspection and testing part lol
