It's been that long/17th edition

Well, I finally got my 17th. Interestingly enough the private training provision I had seemed to think that reading the Regs front to back for 3 days constituted teaching. No wonder lecturing has a bad name with people like this about.

The exam was tougher than I thought it was going to be, certainly a lot tougher than the 16th Edition before it. Most of it was in the questions, a lot are struggling for the plain English award I can tell you. Many of the people in the class were caught out (badly prepared you could say) and a couple just scraped through looking at their results.

To be honest, I went their to learn about the new stuff, the EM stuff, the harmonics, RCD protection etc. and the only thing that I really learned was that a bad tutor can actually have a rather bad effect on everyone. Perhaps a useful lesson?
