Inspection & testing combing quals

I used to teach on the C&G 2391 and others in my previous employment as a College Lecturer. I may be biased by this but I would choose, and I did choose the C&G. The EAL is not so widely recognised.

 

When I came to do my C&G2382 I found a few people who had done a 16th Edition course run by the collage not C&G so where as I did a 6 week course, they had to do the full 12 week course. So to keep current it cost them more money, so I would stick to C&G courses, the C&G exam pass can be verified not sure about EAL, and of course you don't need either, except in Scotland, so the whole idea is to show others you have the skill, everyone knows what a C&G2391 is, most will not have a clue what EAL is, never mind what the exam shows.

 

My experience is that the C&G 2382 is accepted by Building control in leu of Part 'P' accreditation, if you make arrangements in advance, job by job. The EAL qualification does not appear to fulfil their expectations.

 

Hi,

Ive just taken the 2391-52 course & have passed the online exam, got the practical on the 13th September.
Their is no practical training on this course so you need to know how to test, various formulas & how to you the test equipment.
Also the practical test has a 3 phase board, single phase board, swa to a dol starter, ring, radial, intermittent light & dimmer, mi cable to fcu.
Personally i did the 2392-10 Fundamental initial Verification course first. Glad i did.
I would recommend C&G over EAL as its more recognised
