C&G 2365 Level 3 Principles of Electrical Science Exam
Hi everyone,
Quick background. 37, Employed Full Time working offshore in a mechanical role (zero electrical skills needed). Self funded and completed 2365 L2 with Total Skills in Nottingham doing hybrid learning (online for theory, visit centre for practical). Reason for this is I work offshore on adhoc basis so cannot attend college as per their requirements. Wanting to get away from working away from home for the rest of my life before it really is too late. I'm working with a NICEIC fully qualified domestic electrician on a labour for knowledge, FOC basis. Performing mostly EICR's, board changes, additions to circuits etc. He's 70 (fit as a fiddle) but says he's not interested in full rewires anymore, so I may need to branch out to get a full picture of the job.
I'm currently studying for my principles of electrical science exam. This is killing me. I can do the individual maths and understand the science. But there's just so much in this one exam. In the time working domestic it has (and I doubt ever will) come up about needing to know about shunt motor windings, fleming's rules, power factor correction etc. I appreciate it is really good to know the foundations of electricity, but I'm not in a position where I'm using it in a practical sense, so it is hard to lock into my brain.
Anyone else struggled on this section and have any tips for just getting through it?
I could probably blag a pass, but I don't want to do myself a disservice if it turns out I'll need it in future.
Cheers
