17th edition

[Mike Blair]

im about to spend £260 for a 17th edition course. im 18 before i do this does anyone know if i can get this funded by the government or anything thanks - mike

 

[Silly Sausage]

Just do the 'Exam' (hahaha) for a fraction of the cost.

You may be able to get it funded,best to ask a local college. I was lucky enough to do the 17th at the end of my level 3 2365 at college for £35.

when did you finish your 2365 i have just finished mine. but i didnt get the 17th cheep :c haha

 

[jaymd]

Finished 2365 level 3 last year as we managed to do it in a year. It was hard work as we didn't start any of the assignments till April. 17th is easy , we had a weeks notice and I just did a few exam simulations. Just make sure you label main sections and don't close your book.

Why do the 17th when you just qualified to the 17 th edition ???

 

[derek]

You don't need the 17th edition as your 2365 is to the 17th.

 

[jaymd]

Because I would still get asked if I had 17th edition and it was only. £35 and looks better if you have it.

Don't spend a penny Mike ! As the others have said, you have just just completed core training qualifications under the 17th edition and you are not required to get a separate certificate to say you know your way round the regs, your 2365 is proof of this. Save your pennies for the amendment 3 update.

If you do your nvq3 to the 17th then send off for your jib card it will have 17th edition slapped on the back of it.... if a potential employer asks for your 17th them show them that !!!!

I spoke with the NICEIC about this.
They would still require the separate exam.

To the OP, it seems if you want to be JIB graded for more commercial type work then you don't need a separate 17th edition qualification, but if you want to join NICEIC for domestic notifiable work (and I'm guessing the other competent persons schemes are the same) then you should look for a college that will let you do the exam only option.
