Obviously your iq can't be very high otherwise you would of read my original post and seen that I stated I was a fork lift driver.

Any way, the fuse in my house keep blowing every couple of days, it's doing my head in as I have cut some old extension lead up so I can get the replacement cable to replace fuse. When I was in b and q last I notice a fuse board on offer. So if I swap it with this one ( shouldn't take long and it's I only have to swap the front over) this means that when my fuse blows I can just reset it?

PMSL!!!!!!!! :ban:
 
Why didn't i think of that Trev! Good question pet.

Considering Inspection and Testing is classed as an 'add on' as in, qualification is not gained via an apprentership, and you can be classed as a qualified electrician without inspection and testing...2391 or 2394/2395 are roughly 10weeks courses...how can the 'add on' be longer than the electrical 'foundation' course?

Although, i'm guessing he'll try avoid answering it for a while. Lets remain patient.

You cannot comment on substance when unaware of that substance

If a short course is taken and is compared to recognised training routes, the end of the course should indicate the start of your long training period
