Mate that was very valuable. Im starting out now, iv'e just applied to niceic. Do you have mentoring programs?

Can anyone explain why the asshats from the EAS have deemed the C&G 2330 as an insufficient qualification. It was the follow on course from the 2360. It was the only qualification for electrical installation at the time. I hold this qualification along with the old 2391with over 15 years of experience. I can piss all over most other (qualified with other versions of C&G) electricians on our firm in terms of technical and practical knowledge and ability. And yet I am now classed as unqualified by these nob heads, purely down to the fact that the only course available at the time is now classed as insufficient There must be hundreds if not thousands of time served apprenticed "fully qualified" electricians now handicapped with a worthless qualification decided by some pen pushing know nothing.

I think people often forget that the RCD is often there for only additional protection. If the RCD doesn't function ADS and double insulation will still exist.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU for all of the time dedication for creating videos like that!👍🏻Ive really enjoyed it.

From experience it's more like 'If it looks the same doesn't mean it tastes the same'

That was informative. My training was 2002, before the internet really got started, before CZcams and what the heck was Amazon. Visiting my local book shop, ordering Brian Scaddam and anything else just to gain some knowledge ready for the exams. These days there is a wealth of information online, that apprentices should be flying through exams and have one hell of a head start. College's should make this channel mandatory viewing.

Not to be this guy, but the title on the video reads "Earting"

Hello Sir Thank you for your efforts so far.I work within the HVAC industries and through evening classes I have finished and passed L3 City and Guilds 8202 at College of North West London. I want to start a new career as an electrician but I do not have any construction installations experience at all. Please in short if could;clarify for me where to next after qualifying to L3 City and Guilds 8202!! Many thanks in advance

What about City and Guilds 8202...Iam an adult qualified with City and Guilds 8202 ..L3 Diploma..what next for me to become an electrician

Excellent video......have now gone fully TIS, great equipment but went with MFT ECO as only do domestic and v light commercial and wanted the 2 lead Zs test.....newbies are v lucky to have you and others doing similar content to help them on their journey....keep it up !

Great video on the fault finding Mark

Thank you for sharing your technical work experience, I really hope to know more about your skills as I need to translate Chinese Traditional. I hope that the moderators can help with the Chinese Traditional Chinese translation, and those who are interested will have the opportunity to learn😃🙏🙏🙏

Good video . First time watching and new subscriber now

Good ❤❤❤

Great insight again Mark 👏

CPS schemes are one of the biggest scams in the industry

Another infomative podcast Mark. Good stuff.

how about the overseas Electrician from the canada and south africa, what do we need to bring forward beside our Red Seal ?

I don't think the issue is with this course's pass rate at all, I believe the issue arises with most other courses where you're guaranteed to pass if you pay your money and turn up. I'm a semi retired spark who has undertaken a part time position as a QS and I'm continuously appalled at certifications that are presented to me. The level of obtain knowledge is pathetic by a very large number of electricians out there, as Jamie said the courses have been dumbed down, the collages and uni's over the last 10-20yrs has just been interested in getting bums on seats for money. So they have taught them how to pass the test/ course, not taught them about the concept and requirement of electricity and the electrical industry.

I have graduated in Electrical Engineering from pakistan and hve 6 years experience in construcrion field. How can i apply for ECS card

Have to a massive thank you Mark, Richard and especially Andrew for this Outstanding podcast. I am in total agreement with everything you have covered here. 👏👏 Well done. You have now got another subscriber Mark 👍

Great pod cast that generates loads of questions. I’ll rewatch it and ask some later. I’m wondering about if there has been any mapping exercises from 2365/5357 to the T-level? How can it be electrical and cut 2 years off an apprenticeship if there is limited science and the work experience doesn’t have to be electrical - just construction? If there is no health and safety j it how can that be APL across to an apprenticeship? I did rhe EAL level 2 and city and guilds are refusing to accept it on my apprenticeship. How are the working hours allocated - is it a 35 day block in the summer holidays or days here and there? Is it the same employer? How can there be no requirement for grade C maths and English if it’s claimed to be an A level standard based around engineering. Scary that they’ve decided they need to develop a ‘step up to T levels’. Is that a damning indictment of FE or the standard of learners at this age and stage. Nice to hear Walsall are adding stuff and making it better, but there will be loads of providers who won’t. Worrying that everyone seems to have some reservations about the introduction. Seems they weee forced out into the education space, with no allowance for current successful pathways to be continued.

Good to see the Elex brigade let you in Mark. I just can’t understand why this subject is so ignored Now wish i’d gone along and meet you

Good stuff Mark and Team

They teaching us how to safe isolate How is this octopus energy pulling cut out fuse All ok behind a back nice

Lots of information to take in but are you able to answer my question - i have 2360 Pt1&2, 16th, 17th, 18th edition, Part-P registered with NICEIC and been electrician for 35 years, mainly self employed and didn't do an apprenticeship. What is my route to JIB Gold Card ? Thanks in advance.

Excellent conversation, gentlemen 👍🏻

Good stuff guys.

Great podcast guys it is a proper mess the funding available for adults needs sorting

All exams taken would be recorded and stored to ether EAL or City and guilds sites.

Health & safety policy in big companies is stop apprentices getting involved. It puts mental health issues on the apprentices and their mentors as they do not develop the skills need to pass the AM2s and complete their portfolio. Also the portfolios there seems no benefit for the colleges to get the apprentices through this. It just costs the colleges money. These are young person lives, I find it so frustrating and upsetting . Having apprentices in big companies seems a tax relief and a LinkedIn PR dream. We need good sparks for the future infrastructure of this country and it seems training and apprentices are just business. I love the work you are doing Mark and hopefully with more persons involved things will improve.

Be a gas engineer, electrical is finished

I just paid my fee and waiting to start. Thanks to 2008 market conditions, I never found a mate to develop an NVQ at the beginning. The last 5 years on a site, I ended up mentoring an apprentice through his AM2S with success. I figured that is enough of a reminder to finally get closure and aim to acquire my AM2E myself. ✌️

I really enjoy the discussion, I recently migrated to the Uk, and wanted to continue working in the electrical field, I have started my c&g level 2 and level 3, and is trying to find an employer to gain some experience, it’s been really difficult

I have a question

'Promo sm' 💘

I really enjoy this podcast and great topics tonight but the audio quality let you down a bit…

Nice I will hopefully make my way up there sometime 😊 Also I didn’t give you the armour slice 😂 I don’t any stolen valour 😂😂😂

Nipples and female bushes made me chuckle. In all seriousness Mark you are kitting out the workshop really well for the learners with a good variety of kit to learn on.

What a boring electrician

also what about doing a part p qualification and then signing up to NAPPIT OR NICE

Ok so what's the best way to maximise your chances of getting into the industry and into work? there's a lot of history and info overload in the vid. Best to keep it simple or summarise at the end

Hello chaps, Firstly, thank you so much for the content. This has been incredibly helpful; particularly stuff relating to advice for joining the industry via non-traditional routes (adult training). I’m a highly motivated, determined individual currently looking to complete my initial training, and then go on to build my NVQ portfolio. Coming from a financial services compliance background, I am well-versed in gathering evidence of this nature across a range of different methods (videos, photos, written summary). I am based in Leeds and more than happy to travel for up to 3 hours per day (1.5 hours each way) to work onsite. I am currently self employed as a HGV driver and am free to pick my own hours each week (I mainly work on weekends, as the pay is better). I am looking for electricians who can offer a range of work, to enable me to complete the majority of the evidence requirements for the NVQ. I am looking to work 2/3 days per week for minimum wage. If any of you gents require an extra pair of hands and think I may be of use, please let me know. Thanks, James

Lots of useful information, thank you ☘️

Good staff mark thank u

Great thank u long video ❤❤

Hi, i am doing 2357. Started it with another company years ago who didn't meet the requirements at all and provided me with 0 support. I am coming back to it after quite a few years, i need to get it done but without any support i feel completely lost. The assessor is very lax and not supportive either. Do you have any advice on where to start, is there any kind of framework that can be followed in order to start punching the evidence in?

Good advice Mark

Good video. I’ve Just sat and passed my 2391-052 Initial and Periodic Inspection and Testing today and found the trickiest bit was how the questions are worded. It really tests your knowledge as nearly every question is worded differently to what you revise in the many mock papers, IET Exam prep book and online sample tests. The one thing I’d say is if you’re not too sure of an answer there is a good chance you’ll be able to find an answer or very good clue in GN3, Onsite or the BS7671 Wiring Regs. 2391 is much harder than the 18th Edition exam which was piece of cake compared to this. I’m glad I don’t need to sit this again. How bad is the AM2?
