No it's not, you can start at Level 2 🙂

Hi, thanks for your questions about our courses. The NVQ have three different price bands depending upon if you want to add the AM2 and Prep Course from the outset. You can find more about the NVQ 2357 qualification (inc. pricing) here - www.xstraining.com/nvq-2357-electrical-installation-course/ The AM2 Prep Course is available in two options - 14-day Access Only & a Full Year's access. You can find out more about this Course and the different price bands here - www.xstraining.com/online-am2-preparation-course/ Please do get in touch through the Contact details on our website if you have any further questions. Thank you

Ask as many questions as you can early on. Specifically on site where you will learn so much in such little time. If you don't ask the questions early, you miss vital information which leads to nothing else making sense. No question is a stupid question!!

Hi Kacey, thanks for the message. I have spoken to my colleagues and this can be done either externally and internally on site. However, the some AM2 centres prefer this to be done internally which I know is a bit fiddly. The only reason you would normally do it on the inside is to ensure the gland stays at the relative IP rating. Therefore, try do it internally. You wont fail if done as the video shows. Hope this helps.

Hi Ethan, Thanks for your comment. You could class this as a short circuit and this is due to a "wrong connection"

Thank you for your comment. Please also be aware of any additional supplies, such as solar panels and battery storage.

Thank you for your comments. Yes we do a lot of our courses online with the addition of in-house sessions to bridge any concerns. Foe example, the 2391-52 Inspection and testing. You get 6 months access to the online content, then you come into centre for the 3 days of prep and exams. All the health and Safety etc can be done online prior to coming in. Contact me on 08001700294 if you need more info.

Electricians do get some stick for not being the tidiest on site. We believe, having a tidy working area highlights professionalism and care for your work.

No worries at all Mohamed. Hope it helps.

@dylanmckibbin8822 The full process is included in the full AM2 preparation course. Please sign onto our XS Training Academy and you can purchase the full course. Cheers

@wasswambowa8572 Can you be more specific? I am more than happy to do this with more info. Is this for the AM2? Is this into an isolator or motor? Thanks.

Yes is about AM2 SWA cable with gland for three phase socket installation

@@wasswambowa8572 The glanding process is included in the full course. Please sign onto our XS Training Academy and you can purchase the full course there. Cheers

any advice on the AM2, I am about to start practicing before booking, any tips mate?

Really appreciate your message. The AM2 preparation course is great for steadying the nerves and giving you the best chance of showing your skills off to NET. Well done for passing the AM2

@@hixlax5764 have a look at our AM2 prep videos on UA-cam. You can buy the full preparation course from our XS Training Academy.

@@XSTrainingLtd will do thank you, I've done my NVQ with you guys and you've been brilliant, you've made it straight forward, the ease of taking pictures and uploading them for the E Portfolio is a big plus, also you're assessors are very knowldgeable as well, I personaly had a good experience with you, it's a shame you're not in London, I would've went with you to do the AM2 and Pre training as well before the exam

Thanks James!

Hi, I can't find the DCF680. I have located a similar product in the Dewalt range. Is this it? - DCF682N1 8V MAX Gyroscopic Inline Screwdriver by DEWALT

Thanks for the positive feedback Jimmy, much appreciated 👍

Hi Matthew, yes the spec will give you all the information. Cheers

@@XSTrainingLtd thanks for the reply! Got my AM2 tomorrow. Terrified 😂 but your videos have been a good help

@@matthewcampbell9956 You're welcome and thanks for the positive feedback about the videos. Best of luck for your AM2 tomorrow! 👍

All the best for your retake 🤞

Hi, this is on the specification of the AM2 practical assessment you will have to take.

Hi Levent, Zubar doesn't have access to answer this directly but, from memory, he didn't have these exact qualifications because he came to the UK with lots of practical experience within the industry and qualifications relevant to the countries he worked in which were acceptable to City & Guilds

Hi Joel apologies for the delayed response... Yes, there will be a wiring diagram to hand in the AM2 for the learner to follow step by step. Happy New Year and all the best for your AM2 when you come t take it!

Hi Monika, thanks for purchasing the AM2 Preparation course and thank you too for bringing this to our attention. Yes, a 4 core is required due to a change in spec and we will update the video in the course as soon as we possibly can. Many thanks once again Monika, much appreciated.

Hi Clayton, thanks for your question. It all depends on where you are isolating. In this video the incoming supply to the whole board is isolated. Some videos just isolate the main switch to the board so will test the top of the main switch. Hope that helps.

You're welcome Harry, thanks for taking the time to comment and let us know they help you 👍

Thanks for your comments - Sometimes with the need for hot works permits, its tough to get a grinder on sites. Especially commercial sites.

Great point, I shall add this to the video, as we can also get an external supply from PV sources coming in from elsewhere etc. Thank you for your comment.

Hi Ryan, thanks for your question. This would be a visual check. The basic testing equipment would only tell you what the fault is. If you wanted to check this on site a TDR would be needed. A fluke would tell you if the fault was near or far end. Hope that helps

Thanks , just wanted to verify if it told you which specific outlet the fault was on as the AM2s want it very specific. Thanks for your reply.

@@ryanvesey8645 You're welcome 🙂

This could only be actioned if the installation was live in the first place. The method shown in the video is for all installations which proves dead by showing zero volts on an AVI, and then proceeding to prove the AVI is working on a proving unit. This confirms that when testing dead in the first place, these results were accurate. I will add to the video the need of checking live first where possible. I like you’re thinking and really appreciate your comments, as if you checked dead on something that was already switched off, this could be assumed to be fed from a certain point, but could become energised from another source at a later date within the job.

Thanks, much appreciated 🙂

@@XSTrainingLtd likewise. Currently sitting my AM2S and if I get anywhere near passing it’ll be because of you guys and GSH/eFixx.

@@detroutspinners9933 You're very welcome and thanks again. All the best with your AM2S when you come to take it

@@detroutspinners9933 How did you get on?

Hi Mik, many thanks for your kind comments about this video. Regarding your question, it's best to give us a call or send an email so we can speak with you directly about this, as we will need a bit more info from you to give the best response. You can do so on 01535 657059 or email enquiries@xstraining.com. (You can mention that you left a comment here on UA-cam but plerase bear in mind that you will have to run through your situation again anyway as we have a few people that answer the phone and may be not be aware of your question here). Many thanks once again

Hi. Unlike the link of Line to terminal 2 in the timer there is no need to do this for terminal 4. The live feed to 4 comes from elsewhere in the system (the room stat). The drawing in the video shows this but I do appreciate that you'll have to 'pause' it to see it properly.

Hi there, The 2357 portfolio requires you to cover 4 cables and 5 containments. You get 3 years to complete the portfolio. Singles Twin and CPC FP SWA Steel Conduit and Trunking PVC Conduit and Trunking Tray The cables and containments above can be done over as many jobs you require to gain the relevant evidence. Hope that helps but if you need any more details then please feel free to get in touch with us directly through our website, email or phone call. All the best.

Hi, it all depends on the centre you do the AM2 at. This link could already be in or you may need to add it yourself. It does however need to be there.

Thanks for your positive feedback on our training video, really pleased that it helped you.

Hi Dave, you need to test IR from the board and then again from the load side to ensure you test the supply and load side. Test between L1 - L2, L1 - L3, L2 - L3, L1 - N, L2 - N, L3 - N, L1 - CPC, L2 - CPC, L3 - CPC and N - CPC from both ends.

did you test both sides of the DOL ? use the plugs on the simulated motor box to test IR to the DOL, same when you do r1+r2. hope this helps

Hi, first of all apologies for not picking up on this and responding sooner. We can appreciate your apprenhension because MANY other people feel exactly the same before they get started. You can see this if you check out our previous reviews on Google and Trustpilot. These will also show you how much easier it is than they first thought when they eventually get started. We always have someone who can call you back and talk you through whats involved but the first step is to complete our Online Application Form to tell us a bit about your previous experience (if any). There is absolutely no obligation to begin one of our courses after completing it but it is the best first step. www.xstraining.com/online-application-form/ Hopefully hear from you soon. 🙂

I am exactly one of those and am still thinking@@XSTrainingLtd

Hi, this is not a requirement

Hi Nathan, thank you for your comment. The control cables are prewired within the DOL, yes. The only part you will need to do, is the supply to the Isolator using singles and then install and gland off the SY cable. Please watch the video in relation to the control cables though, as you will need to know these connections when you come to the fault finding.
