Getting into the dark arts of EV charging

[dodger421]

Got the course on Monday coming, and reading through the bumff, it appears i need a book.....
"IET Code of Practice for Electrical Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation (latest revision)"


That is, dependent on my wife's PCR test for covid. She's been coughing a few days and we've been putting it down to hay fever.... no other symptoms. She does 2 x lateral flow tests per week with working in a nursery in primary school, and all have been negative. (although one of schools she works in sent all their P6 home a couple weeks ago)

Her doctor finally called back after she tried getting an appointment yesterday, and he said, without looking at her, that it could be covid... so shes getting the pcr test sent out.... by the time she sends it back, and gets the result, the household has to isolate.... so thats me off work for the foreseeable.
I might have to miss the course on monday

You can get the ebook from the IET if that’s any help.

And generally the turnaround is good, failing that CEF ought to stock it.

I’ve ordered the book from CEF, should come tomorrow.
Same time as the PCR test, which should have been today. If that comes tomorrow, tests sends back…. Hopefully we get result before Monday.

it’s not me that’s having symptoms, so would it be bad of me to do the course anyway and not say anything when I should be isolating, not knowing the outcome?
Or should I just contact them and try to rearrange?
Getting my money back isn’t an option at this late stage.

Somebody’s making a few quid out of all this pointless testing imo. That’s a conversation for another thread though. Once you and people you are meeting are double jabbed what the hell is the point. If you die after two jabs bad luck, that’s life.

Don’t think anyone here is going to advise you to break the government guidelines…

Wife got a text from COVID testing place saying “your PCR test will be delivered today between… bla bla”
That’s fine, but then it says “not going to be in?……”

Excuse me? Where the hell do think we will be? We were told to isolate!! ?

Just got a negative result via text. So everything is back on track. Got the book yesterday, so will be going on the course on Monday.

due to the other thread about a van getting broken into, I’ll be emptying my van, as it will be left in a park n ride car park all day.

Very wise... and if the course is anywhere near scouseland... take the wheels with you too !

Course was ok. 100% on multi choice exam, so it couldn’t have been that hard.
Didnt really need the feckin book in the end as there was course notes handed out…. (I think one or two questions I had to use it as the answers were not obvious in the notes)
