Would You Be Interested in an IET Wiring Regulations Course?

Agreed, somewhat surprised in this survey, then again perhaps not if somebody sees a way of generating revenue!

I'm maybe showing my age here but likley 30+ yrs ago IEE conducted and delivered 15th, 16th etc wiring regulations courses including the original 2391 course, delegates could just sign up for the training and if they wanted sit the C&G exam.

Venues across the UK. I must admit I found the trainers to be very good compared to some College lecturers delivering the same subject matter, as the trainers were those IEE members involved in writing the Regs, so had a perhaps better idea how they went together, that said majority were chartered engineers in consultancy practices, so sometimes the "Practical" if you have this situation is it compliant? question sometimes college lecturers who are or were in those days Ex installation electricians far better at giving those kind of answers.

Its a stack them high and sell them cheap the C&G short courses as the industry and practitioners want as short a course as possble for a low cost but also want the cert at the end. Note I never said anything about understanding the subject nor its application, just getting a cert, to tick a box, for others including clients and employers to say people they engage with are competent and have the cert so must know everything!!

For me its all about the trainers involved and how much they know and how they engage with who is in front of them, I agree with mapj1 suggestion could be good for those of us involved in training ourselves.

Cheers GTB
