NICEIC Certification Scheme IET on-site guide or NICEIC site guide

[BruvDunk]

I'm used to the IET on-site guide but as I prepare to splash out on the latest edition i see the NICEIC site guides also being pushed.

Anyone had experience of both ?
Pros\ cons etc of either

IET version every time................ they make the rules (despite the NICEIC thinking otherwise..........)

On site guide every time, my wholesaler was doing a deal on site guide and regs bundle before they were launched. I put my name down for a set.

Only to find when they arrived it was the regs and the NIC site guide. I gave it back to the wholesaler and said I wanted the on site guide

You wouldn't use a NIC version of the regs would you ....... ?

More importantly how much does it cost the NICEIC to duplicate the IET book ..

Talk about a waste of members money ....

I've bought the unite ones that @Vortigern linked to in another thread. I wasn't aware of them prior to that.

The little pocket books ? I had a pair of those for the 16th edition. Very handy little books.

They are not the same the IET on site guide has all you need in it! And the abacus books or unite or whatever guise they are under now! The site guide by the NIC has half the story imho, had a look at it at the wholesalers and it seemed to be missing a lot of the tables and other useful things so I put it back and went for the lbb (little blue book)

I'm used to the IET ones so that's what I will order, just interested in people's opinions as I've not seen the NICEIC ones.

On Site Guide is the proper one. I found it really annoying to have the Site Guide as part of the regs package.

It would be helpful if the Regs were written in the same format as the OSG

Just another scam the NICEIC have dreamed up to extract you hard earned, plenty of other deal's around where you can get both IET publications. ELEX as an example.

I got mine from forum sponsor @Test-Meter . No forum discount at the moment but still a deal on both as good as I've seen.

Just remember IF you are an IET member, as I was before I retired you got a very good discount from them, as many of my friend will contest to. Wonder if I approach my last employer they would still pay my fees? doubtful wouldn't you say? So if you have a mate who is a member, a pint or 2 will go a long way, to securing a good deal, maybe?

If your friends are mostly contesting it then how can we believe it?.
