[Mike Blair]

Anyone else sitting the exam? im revising if you want to ask each other stuff post here

 

[Simonslimline]

Good luck mate, i sat the 2394/5 a few weeks back and have just had the results back today.

 

[Mike Blair]

did you pass ? and any tips for me XD

 

[Richard Burns]

If you are still interested in the EFLP diagrams then if you look on my profile in my albums I have the TNS , TT and TNCS paths with a little more detail on them, more than is required for the exam (except perhaps labelling the line conductor), only single phase though.

All you need (mainly) is in guidance note three and since you have been revising steadily you should be OK so long as you approach the exam calmly and read the questions and ensure you do not get time locked into a question.

 

[Simonslimline]

Yes got through it all thankfully.

Guidance note 3 is what you need mate. read it over and over.

Are you doing the 2394 as well?

 

[Mike Blair]

doing my 2394 in October XD and im going over stuff its like in there just need to stay calm n focus...few pints would be handy haha

 

[Simonslimline]

As RB has advised, read the questions and make sure you know what it is asking for. You should be ok for time. I don't think anyone ran out when i did mine to be honest.

[northstar]

Stay calm, read the question carefully, if you dont know the answer you can always come back to it or add more info to it. and all the best for tomorrow

 

[Leesparkykent]

[Mike Blair]

Thanks guys btw. Random question can I get jib with level 2-3 2365 2395/5 17tg and am2? Do I have to have nvq

 

[DuaneMHunt1976]

as far as i understand it, the NVQ is a MUST, but you have AM2 what i did think was a part of the NVQ shanky will be able to help more.

havant you got to wait about 3mth to find out the result of the 2395

if you trained after 95/2000 i think it was you need the nvq to get a gold card


the best you will get without it is a provisional grade or trainee

Provisional Electrician(Gold Card)Valid for 18 Months

City and Guilds 2360 parts one and two OR full City & Guilds 2351
OR City & Guilds 2330 Levels two andthree
PLUS the AM2 assessment.

You must achieve the full Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical systems and equipment(Buildings, Structures and the environment) before your card expires.Only one provisional card is issued. This card is not transferable. Should you leave your employer, thiscard becomes invalid and an ECS card that reflects your qualifications within the rules of the scheme mustbe applied for. This may result in the downgrading of the ECS card held.


So the 2365 was replaced with the 2330, so i take that as a tick
AM2 ticked
NVQ Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical systems and equipment AKA 2357

I hate LAWER talk, its more harder to read than normal.

I am not sure, but under the impression when reading that 2356-99 was a upgrade from the 2330/2365 to NVQ standards but would also need the AM2 as well. (The AM2 is a part of the NVQ 2357 but they keep talking about it as if it was seperated)

if he has the 2330 then he can skip the tech certs and go astraight to the nvq after doing a bridge unit which is basically a joke.

what does pv stand for, what colour pipes for grey water etc.


the 2356-99 is for electricians that have over say 5 years experience and needs a reference and more intensive test

he dosnt have 2330, he isnt old Enough 2365, but i did think that was a updated version of the 2330
and ECS dont say it like they do with the 2330 because they are SLOW and BEHIND updating bits like that

not sure about GRAY Water myself, sounds like Trent Water, one site and you will be Shipping back in the river ya just drank from

2365 was around the same time as 2330.

i did my 2330 in 2011/12.

the 2357 only started sep 2011 if i remember right

i was doing lvl3 while some of my mates were in the first year to do 2357.

thats how i know the course is the same, we were in the same class lol


they just had more exams as the units were smaller, ive got 8/9 in my head for theres for some reason

 

[Mike Blair]

I did the 2330 level one like....lol also I got 97 on the multi choose woow.. Still trying to find the part about dismantling equipment when testing on periodicas and its roughly 6weeks for results o.o

Basically, if you did the 2330 level 2 & 3, you would still need to do the NVQ 2356 to be qualified. Then the 2330 was stopped and the 2365 replaced it. Both the 2330 & 2365 were/are technical quals only!

The 2357 is the new combined qual that is 4 years and consists of both the technical units at college and the practical units (portfolio evidence) at work. So the 2357 is the equivalent to having both the 2330 and 2356.

The 2357 and 2330 are two very different quals. Although the technical stuff might be similar in each, there is very little practical work involved in the 2357, apart from I & T, Fault finding and point to point. Whereas in the 2330 (2365) has more in the wrokshop doing lighting circuits, conduit, trunking, tray, different cables etc.

Hope that made sense, albeit off topic. Sorry OP.

Cheers

If you are about to start your electrical career or you are already registered on the City & Guilds 2365-03 Level 3 Diploma in Electrical Installations (Buildings and Structures) this can also be converted into the 2357-44 by completing a ‘bridging unit’ which will take 1 day at our centre leaving you with the NVQ portfolio to complete. The NVQ is not classroom based and as such only one visit to our centre is required throughout the duration of the portfolio.

[Leesparkykent]

Do you remember any of the dodgy questions?

 

[Richard Burns]

Just forget about it, there is nothing you can do now, it is all done, for good or ill.
But 997% on the multi guess is OK and bodes well for the written.

 

[Mike Blair]

One question was calculate r2 for a bonding conducter waternpipe miliohm meter was like 1.15 off.my head lol.and 28 maters at 20c I calculated that...then under it I re calculated applying correction factors. Which was wrong of.me to doo fml was 3 marks for it...hopefully inget kne for my working out and giving the answer at least lol

 

[Mike Blair]

Other was a box question on pvc conduiet I think I got 4 out of 5 on that one like whats to be inspected sence would be used question other was a pfc test and earth loop path for tn-s system...defo got them smashed haha first thing k done was nail them

One question was calculate R2 for a bonding conductor to water pipe; milliohm/ meter was like 1.15 off my head, lol and 28 metres at 20°C; I calculated that...then under it I re calculated applying correction factors. Which was wrong of me to do fml was 3 marks for it...hopefully i can get marks for my working out and giving the answer at least, lol.

Should get marks for that, maybe not full marks, but you did give the answer and the working out, presumably 3 marks for units, calculation, answer.
