What would i be quilified ro do with this xourse if anything. Also what would i need to do to be quilified for fitting lights, adding in sockets ect..
Answer:
Hi This course is the legal requirement for a qualified electrician, it means you know what you are doing in terms of the equipment and method of fixing etc. It does not make you a qualified electrician only the first stage, To be able to sign off your work you would need another qualification called inspection and testing but you cant do that until you have passed the regulations course Terry
Does this, or can it include the 18th Edition Course within the basic electrical qualification?
Answer:
Hi Robert, No not yet the 18th is not available until early July after the regs books have been published. The 17th edition is however valid for 5 years if taken before January 2019 when the new regs are legally required. you could always do the 17th and then update before the 5 year deadline with a short update course. It is also much cheaper than the 18th edition will be in July
Regards Terry
I servicing trains. in order to progress to the next level, I need some form of basic certification on electrical systems/diagrams will this help ?
Answer:
Hi Steve, You should have the 17th edition and probably the 2392-10 inspection and testing course. Both are available through me and the 17th is all online and the 2392-10 can be 2/3rd online but does have a practical element to it.
Regards Terry Crowe
If I am a certified and experienced electrician from another country, do I need to start from scratch in the UK or should I use this course instead?
Answer:
Hi Esther, You will need the 17th edition in the UK but your qualifications should be transferable depending upon the country agreement the Uk awarding body has. Each awarding body has a mapping of the skill sets required. City and Guilds qualifications such as 2382-15 are accepted everywhere in the world. Regards Terry

Answer:
Hi, The 17th edition is valid for 5 years if taken before July 2018.

Hi. I haven't any experience in electrical industry. Can I get some advice about what course I should take first? Thanks
Answer:
Hi, It depends upon what you want from the industry. If you want to be an electrician you will need practical experience, theoretical experience and testing experience. The first course you would have to have is the Wiring Regs 17th edition, this would be followed by an inspection course 2394 and then join a competence person scheme Part P. But you must have a level of practical experience to understand the theory part of it, I do not know your experience to be able to judge this element Terry
I have worked in the oil & gas industry as an electrical technical. I now have to have a grading card with Cscs does this course provide this.
Answer:
Hi Robert, This course is the 17th edition regulations course and is a stand alone qualification, It is one of the qualifications asked for for electricians to get the cards. If you take the exam before January 2019 it will last for 5 years after July 2nd this year the 18th edition will be available and will also last 5 years, so its your choice 17 or 18th but the 18th is not legally required until january 2019 and then only on new installations
regards Terry
Hi, I passed 17th edition in October 2009, I understand I need a refresher course, is it still £300+ and 2hr exam? I thought refresher was 1 he exam?
Answer:
Hi Andrew, You can do an exam only with me now if you feel confident of passing with the yellow regs book before July, check out my web site for details Terry
I want to be an electrician and is this course a starting point ? And what other qualifications do i need ? Can they be done in Mk or online
Answer:
Hi Robin, You will need the 17th edition 2382-15 and a health and safety card to get on a building site, In addition it would be advisable to get the 2392-10 Inspection and testing at a later date.
Both can be done with me, one fully online and one partly online but the location does not matter since the exams are done at home at a time you choose and available 7 days per week to 10pm with me Regards Terry

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.
An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
