Discuss 18th Edition EXAM UPDATE REQUIRED in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
No need to shout Mate, I suppose to be compliant you will need to become 18th edition qualified, as it is with the 17th, I think some of the scamschools are advertising courses as we speak.HI ANYONE KNOW WETHER WE HAVE TO SIT AN UPDATE FOR THIS , IS IT MANDATORY ?
What I find annoying is reading if you have 17th A3 then 1 day course, but if you are 17th but prior to A3, then 3 day course. What is that all about, apart from a scam to charge more for something I don't need?
As you say Middy an excercisein how to navigate a books contents, plus how to pass an exam, no learning content whatsoever, they are a required element, as wellas being a licence to print money for the scam schools.I think these particular 'courses' are all a bit of a scam. Its an exercise on how to use a publications contents & index, and a time set aside for an exam. There's no instructional content, the learning you have to do yourself.
From my own minimal research on the matter, the 18th comes out on July 2nd, but doesn't come into effect until 18 months later. That's January 2020.
You've got plenty time to get the qualification.
Theres a whole new section 8 been added. That's hardly a "minor" change.
It is not mandatory... but certainly advantageous to have.

Am I hearing that old broken record again.
Ha - my review is in Sept so I'll be promising to do it for next year no doubt. But I definitely won't be taking classes for it, I'll do one of the "on line" training things where you just show up for the the exam .Does this mean I can expect pass my ELECSA 2019 assessment without wasting days and money on a "course" and "exam"?

I have A3!;-)
well look at it this way... there will be a 6 month period where you can work to either the 17th or 18th edition, pass it quick and you can be the first guy in town working to 18th regs and charge more for your work... sell it as future proofing... give it a couple months and you will get nice shiny stickers on everything saying 18th compliant...
