Product Description
This book covers all the basics of inspection and testing and clearly explains all the legal requirements. It not only tells you what tests are needed but also describes all of them step-by-step with the help of colour photos. Sample forms show how to verify recorded test results and how to certify and fill in the required documentation. The book is also packed with handy advice on how to avoid and solve common problems encountered on the job.
With its focus on the practical side of the actual inspection and testing rather than just the requirements of the regulations, this book is ideal for students, experienced electricians and those working in allied industries, such as plumbers and heating specialists, kitchen and bathroom fitters, alarm installers and others, whether they are working on domestic or industrial installations.
All the theory required for passing the City & Guilds Level 3 Certificate in Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations (2391-01) is covered. The book also includes sample questions and scenarios as encountered in the exams. Questions encourage readers to research answers in the On-Site Guide, as required in the exams for Part P Competent Person courses from EAL, NICEIC, NAPIT, BPEC and others. Model answers are provided for all questions. The book will also help prepare students on City & Guilds 2330 Level 3 courses, NVQs and apprenticeship programmes for their practical inspection and testing exams.

Review
"Whether an experienced electrician testing large industrial or commercial installations or a domestic installer altering or adding to installations, Chris has got it covered for you, generally using a language that installers use and not just technological terms that most installers find it difficult to understand. [] This new and exciting practical guide will support candidates who are looking to take exams such as the City and Guilds testing and inspection 2391 or 2, the EAL VRQ level 2 Domestic installer and the NIC Part P course."
From the foreword by Gerry Papworth B.A. (Hons), MIET, Eng. Tech, LCGI; Managing Director of Steve Willis Training (Portsmouth) Ltd; Chief examiner for City & Guilds 2391

An excellent book
The clear pictures and easy to follow step by step guides were extremely helpful when it came to taking my C&G 2330 Level 3 practical exams. The section on completion of test certificates was particularly good, putting everything into plain language.
I would recommend this book to any trainee electrician.
Best yet
This is the ultimate guide book if you are studying for your 2391.I have failed this exam once but with this down to earth approach on inspection and testing I feel very confident of a pass.Very easy to understand well explained.Definately aimed at 2391 City and Guilds exam success best book I have come across like a condensed down 7671 and guidance note 3 in easy to remember terms.
An Excellent Book
This book is an excellent guide to inspection and testing. It keeps the theory down to what you need to know to get the job done, without a load of waffle.
The book is full of pictures which are clear and in full colour, showing real electrical installations and how and where to connect test leads. There are also images of testers( Kewtech and Megger) and how to set them up correctly. The author uses a step by step approach and coupled with the photographs you cannot go far wrong.
There are lots of examples of certificates and how to fill them in for example installations. Details of what the values mean and how to calculate/ measure them are also included.
If you are looking for an inspection and testing book I can honestly say buy this one, it is excellent.
