Passing a multiple choice test on BS7671 is a long way off saying you have a good understanding of it.

It also doesn't ensure you keep up with subsequent amendments to regulations, of which there have been many since publication of the 18th edition.Passing a multiple choice test on BS7671 is a long way off saying you have a good understanding of it.
very true, I have passed my 18th edition in January this year, I refer to the book to looks things up but I think I am years away from being able to memorise and quote reg numbers from the top of my head like the much more experienced sparks.Passing a multiple choice test on BS7671 is a long way off saying you have a good understanding of it.
Not to mention they actuallt relaxed the non-notifiable jobs like Kitchens and Garden work...Just my two bob worth, IMO if that MP,s Daughter did not die of electrocution I dont think part pee would have been born. (in the domestic sector)
It could not be ignored so they jumped on the concept of notifiable work and periodic accreditation via cps all at a great cost. we have now to try and stamp out cowboy practices, core qualifications and experience/ competence is not enough.
However the bit I cant get my head round is the un notifiable work, electricity is electricity it can kill it has the same dangers as any other task regarding electrical installation work.
Whilst upgrades and changes are always going to occur, there's no doubt that this is another reason for money making.... paid for, as a rule, by those like us who keep the trade going.It also doesn't ensure you keep up with subsequent amendments to regulations, of which there have been many since publication of the 18th edition.
So we're saying the exam and qualification isn't fit for purpose? Why do we have to do it then?Passing a multiple choice test on BS7671 is a long way off saying you have a good understanding of it.
