getting back to work

[phasetester2001]

I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2004. It's now under control with med's.
Thank's to it my memory has been damaged (Don't worry I know the difference between live neutral; a plug and a light).
I was looking for a copy of the 17th edition to go and do the course when I came across a digital version. When I went to send for it they asked me if I was IET registered. Is this a new qualification, a new name for something else or have I just forgotten.

YES EXTREMLY EMBARRASSING TO HAVE TO ASK!!!

Being registered with the IET entitles you to a 20% discount. The sales department were obviously interested in knowing whether or not you qualified for this discount.

The Institution of Engineering and Technology.
If you're a member, you will get discount if you order from them

Saving money is great reso for joining anything!!!!.
But what I want to know is this important or is it just voluntary.

 

[Farmelectrics]

Try amazon glad to see your better good luck phase

 

[timo1]

Its not compulsory. Joining them will give you money off buying thinks like regs books. I'm not a member. Good luck for the future. Tim

my memory is shocking anyway and theres nothing wrong with me, well actualy theres plenty wrong but never mind.
Dont need iet unless you want the discounts, good luck getting back to work.

If you are studying for your 17th then register with them as a student, you get an even bigger discount on your membership fee

 

[Rockingit]

Hmmm....havent' checked but don't the IET have something like a £400 ish membership fee???

 

[sparky-s-w]

even a student discount wont justify that

Hi lads, me again.
This is a really stupid question. I'm looking for a copy of the 17th as you know. On the websites I see one's with a green cover and ones with a red cover. I am confused because the 16th edition I had was green, so I am confused over which to buy. Can you help me out.

 

[Thomas123]

The red is the 17th with no amendments, the green one is the new amended version.

Fitted central heating for a bloke with the same diagnosis/side effect last year, top bloke, really new his stuff but deffered to me? (much his junior). can only salute you for getting back on the horse. All the best

 

[sparky-s-w]

you need the green one, 17th edition with amendments

 

[parker56]

I'm sure if you need help in the future, the forum members will give you there best advice.
good luck for the future.

Don't go into Blackwells Oxford. You will find, or would have done back in 1989, that you could purchase all of them since they held all the amendments on the shelves at the same time. No discounts for age either !

You will need the latest edition.
