What another load of old ******** to dig more money out of the poor electrician just trying to make a living. Why Don't these course makers get a ****ing proper job and leave us qualified sparks alone.

Surely it is the IET you need to direct this at?!

Course providers only provide a means to carry out the updaes.

Don' t fancy 3 days of class room myself just hoping to take the test when up to speed.
 
Can you confirm that this will be a city and guilds exam and what is the dates for Aberdeen in July / August?

Can the course material be watched more than once? I can only manage a couple of hours per day max, might need refresh stuff from the beginning after two weeks of studying

I like that you still have to go to a centre to do exam which still means travel and loss of earnings
Unfortunatly thats the only way they can verify its you doing the exam and that your not cheating, still not as bad as a full week off to do the whole course though
 
Hi Roly, the £240 is for full course and includes the exam which can be taken at various locations throughout the UK, this is a very competitive price and is NOT the one day update course etc..
 
The nearest "approved test centre " are some 50 miles away from me and bar stewards to get to (the main reason I don't live in a city in the first place).
I suppose us country folk are less profitable than the city dwellers.
 
Hi old plodder,
Niceic are also doing the course at multiple locations. Try them.
£405 plus vat full course
£185 plus vat for update

I will be using Dcet in Exeter.
£332 plus vat for full course.
£148 plus vat for update course

We are offering full course on 18th edition as there is not an update exam and only the full two hour exam available by all awarding bodies (City & Guilds/EAL etc) .

We offer full 18th edition course and exam at more than 30 locations throughout the UK for £240 plus vat.

Many people will be tempted to take up the offer of the "update course" but will need to be aware that the update courses being offered will concentrate only on the changes from 17th to 18th edition and that the candidates will then need to successfully complete the full two hour exam for the 18th edition. This may be okay for many candidates, however, you will need to be aware that the update course will not be providing you with all of the information you require to successfully complete the full two hour exam...
