vettassess practical assessment - Electrician
 

Hello All,

Has any sparkies done the Vetassess practical assessment?
I have just passed the first stage and am booked in for the April assessment but just wondered if anyone could give any advise on what to expect as I've been doing primarily domestic installations on new builds for the last 16 years and need to know what to polish up on!:confused:

Many Thanks

congrats on passing the first stage.

i dont think anyone reallt knows about the practical as its quite new

i am going to the april practical myself and im a little worried, but i cant see it being any harder than the AM2 practical test,

what does concern me ie the technical interview, i get quite nervous at interviews.

im sure it wont be an interigation though:)

any way good luck and will probably see you down there

DOL is one of the things you may be tesed on as the OH is getting quite worried over this.

have a look on thier website and it tells you what to expect.

Hi,just a quickie,is a certified piece of evidence a photocopy with an original certifying officers signature on it.I understand that a photocopy of the same document isn't allowed.thanks oh and did you guys have to pay someone to do it:ohmy:

Re: vettassess practical assessment - Electrician
 

A certified piece of evidence is a copy of the original and the copy must be signed by someone in a position to do so, solicitor / police officer / accountant / Bank officer / JP Etc. Some charge some dont !!

Re: vettassess practical assessment - Electrician
 

thats correct

photocopy your orignals and have them certified the following is from the vetassess website

all documents must be certified as a true copy of the original by a person who is authorised to certify documents in your country.
Each copy of the document must be certified separately and must show clearly:

* the words "certified true copy of the original"
* the original signature of the certifying officer
* the name and address or provider/registration number (where appropriate) of the certifying officer legibly printed below the signature so that VETASSESS can contact the certifying officer if necessary.

i had a neighbour who is a retired senior police office who signed mine

it cost me a bottle of wine:thumbsup:

hope this helps

I got an email confirming i passed the first stage of vetassess and to hurry if i want to make the april practicals, Im a bit worried about the interiew as well, i not so bothered about the practical side of things because i only did my am2 3 years ago so i think i should be ok there, its just 3 quarters of the stuff i did at college were remembered for the exams and then promptly forgotten about... i wish id payed more attention now:ohmy:

Re: vettassess practical assessment - Electrician
 

Hi, im also in the same position. Also on the assessment in April. I to mainly do domestic work but have done quite a bit in the past on industrial but nothing to do with DOL Starters. Having seen the wiring diagrams they are nothing spectacular.

Hi has anybody else had a date confirmed just wondered if anyone else has the 8th April. Good luck all.:D
