Not another thread whining over the cost of a few books. Don't like it find another trade.

I've disagreed with you:

Because its not just 1 book ..................... its several books, time off work to do an exam we HAVE to pay for ................... for what?

The changes, like the last 2 amendments are scraping the barrel.

You only need the one book.

Lets just say for arguments sake there were no changes needed for 20 years. Would there still be a 19th edition in 10 years?

I would say yes. The updates to the regs is a money spinner for the IET. In my view it is largely a business strategy rather than just keeping the regs up to date with technological changes.

I was told by the NICEIC assessor before xmas when discussing led bulbs and other bits around pme and rods etc.. that they are already deciding on bits for amendment 1 as they cant decide in time for the 18th edition. its all becoming a money maker now. They have seen the certsure business model and fancy a slice of the action

Still got the blue book from the 16th ed knocking about somewhere ! What a riveting read that turned out to be for the price - not. Can't see the 18th being good beside reading either
