Theres a guy up in Glasgow who should be able to give you a few pointers , he specialises in RCD fault finding ..

When you see him , ask him if the Grand offer is still available...

In a one word answer "experience"

Make sure your van has heated seats and cup holder, when doing the EICRs

How big are the flats? how many circuit? how much time are you allocated? how long are you taking?

...If i was to employ a tester,and they were both qualified and thorough,and one was slightly quicker than the other....i'd employ either of them. Now go forth,Grasshopper :icon12:

Get yourself a good routine on the go and you will soon fly through them.
I've spent the last 5 years solely testing ind and commercial as we don't do any remedial purely test a inspect.
But once you get into a good routine you will get much quicker only experience can help u really and the more you get the quicker it will become.

Learning max Zs and cable sizes for bonding are a great help as saves looking them up and obviously knowing cable size max current also helps but that's pretty easy to learn

Does he also specialise in one day rewires by any chance?... hence the specialty of fault finding.

When arriving on site and looking round flat to see what there is to test, also see if anything exposed/ damaged etc. Remove lamps and leave light switches in the ON position. Unplug appliances and or switch off. That way you are now prepared to test and saves doing it later.
