I do have experience of initial testing, mostly single phase. Mostly my work is new domestic installs. EICRs not so much. I have done a little with a previous company, but it was a while ago.Do you have experience of testing/EICRs?

Thanks for the response and advice. Will definitely have a read up on GN3. Hopefully I will come away passing it, as I've been told it can be difficult to pass. On an9ther thought, if say you pass practical but fail say for example the written part does that mean you fail the whole course? Or can you retake just parts that you failed? Thanks.The most important things on the practical is doing the tests in the correct sequence. Failure of the practical is predominantly caused by the incorrect locking off and proving dead procedure this is very important. The practical is both the EIC and EICR on two distribution boards, the EIC being not more than two circuits. The EICR covers the other circuits and they introduce two or three faults and once identified the tutor will ask you to explain the fault and possibly consequences. You have to complete the paperwork for both an EIC and EICR with the later to include your fault and Coding for them.
I would recommend reading through GN3 not all in one go but it may be helpful.
The important thing is the college want you to pass and will point you in the right direction.
Thanks Westward. You've been really helpful. Hopefully I will pass all first time, but good to know you only retake parts failed. To be fair, it will be the practical that I will struggle on as its not something I cope well with having someone watching me over my shoulder. But like you say, deep breaths, and think about what's going on znd I am doing. Thanks again fir all the help and advice.No you can retake in parts. The practical is what everyone worries about as the time can get tight and some people can go to pieces. Just take a breath, think about the correct steps to take and
OK. Thanks, maybe I'm just panicking.They really aren't there to trip you up and they should through the time of the course show you the testing and give you plenty of practice.
