18th Edition Training Series - Episode 1 - Introduction

[@farhanlabib9228]

This is brilliant.. this is much better than a 3 day course plus I'm a slow learner so I can just go through these videos take my time, then when I apply for the course I'll be very ready and comfortable taking the exam.. thanks sparky ninja!

[@mehaile2073]

Do you recommend for for some one who is doing hnc in mechanical engineering That can be an electrician by passing this exam any idea please?

[@MariaSanchez-qq3eh]

Just wonderful, I've been looking for "training for electricians in uk" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Diyarah Electric Freedomify - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.

[@GSHElectrical]

Wow... thanks so much Sparkyninja your a total hero... 🙌

Dave, your course helped immensely. Just took my 18th exam today and passed with 97% at 1h35m.... I'm 55 and never looked at wiring regs until about a month ago but I have sound reasons for doing so now. You're a star.

[@ElectricEssenceLtd]

Congratulations Mate. I am preparing for exam. Any tips

[@pichacker]

@@ElectricEssenceLtd Watch the videos, find a mock exam or two and practice, practice and practice. Some of the answers will become embedded in your brain and this will allow you more time to find the more obscure answers and pace yourself. Also adding tabs to the reg book as well as sensible highlighting is allowed to assist you finding the relevant section more quickly.

[@manwithnoname408]

Hey. Your encouraging. Please advise. I am 58 . Want to become a legal self certifying small time electrician(Domestic electrician?). I’ve been looking , on the internet,at some fast track courses( 18th edition, C&G this & C&G that etc). Sadly still confused. I have aptitude for sciences ( Physics,& pure maths at A levels) & also worked as a technician in the past. I have an electrician friend who is willing to give some support in practical ways once I have the relevant certificates . I have seen fast track for domestic electrician on line which claim that after completing I will be able to practice. I would be most grateful for your advice & guidance on the most convenient/ direct route .

[@Richcoop1974]

Haven't looked at a regs book in 8 years...did the condensed 2 day course along with the help of these vids managed to scrape a 68% pass mark today. My advice in order to get a high mark is spend more time with the book and learn to navigate it and make sure you know what equations you are expected to know and how to find the charts/tables.

[@stevethomas5849]

Thank you SpakyNinja today I passed the 18th after watching your videos, now off to Florida.

[@robertsaka8943]

Hi SparkyI did my 16th Edition in 2001 planning to do my 18th and listening to your approach am already impressed I thought it might be really complicated but you've just raised my hopes. Thanks for your professional presentation

[@johnturansky4792]

Thanks for your online tutorials and guidance in all things electrical. The 18th edition training series was of a huge benefit to me and without doubt a major contributing factor in passing 18th edition exam with flying colours. Cheers Sparky Ninja

[@michaelsands8443]

Just discovered you ,I've put you at the top of my to watch list so when January comes knocking I'll be ready for my exam You are a superstar.

[@lifter98]

Thanks for your time making these videos..

[@PlymouthSparky]

Thank you for your detailed view on understanding the book. Following with interest. Understanding the layout makes much more sense than looking in index. Far to many courses selling how to pass the test. Love the intro

[@justmohamed3930]

Great teacher helping people. Excellent Introduction. Thank you very much !

[@joannelavenia7438]

Just taken 18th edition exam 92% pass many thanks sparky ninja Joe worcester 👍

Hey - Did you manage to just sit the exam or did you have to take the course too?

[@davidlewis4162]

What an excellent teacher you are, thanks for the video

[@ajw050385]

Just wanted to say thanks! Very helpful, I took my 18th edition exam today and.all.the stuff they told me to highlight was already done thanks to you! 93%, cheers mate!

[@mehaile2073]

Hi do you think it is important to take this exam to be an electrician if you are hnc level mechanical engineer Any idea please?

[@liamstancombe7485]

Just wanna say I’ve just moved back to the UK and am trying to get my 18th edition done so I can work over here and just from watching this 1st video I can tell this is gonna help so much thank you for putting this together and can’t wait to jump in

[@thomasvickers9587]

fantastic content and structure. Explained well and keeps it interesting. Thanks sparky ninja!

[@floatybyboaty]

Just started to upgrade my regs from 16th as i have been out for quite a few years and looking to get back to speed. Great Viceo and looking forward to the others.

[@matthewedwards5872]

I just wanted to also say that this course is brilliant, but also, as an update on what this course can bring you, i have gone from a production technician, with this qualification, to an electrical testing position, and from there, within a year, to being hired as a development engineer. Thanks for the course SparkyNinja, you are a diamond.

[@jamilchoudhry9705]

Very helpful passionate approach towards your profession and colleagues can't thank you enough you are doing a great job.

[@pinchermartyn3959]

Many thanks. Much appreciated.

[@shaungavin5685]

Booked in to do a three day 18th Edition course in June, just in time to keep my Registered Electrician status with the ECS. Hoping to attend the 2396 Design course in November.

[@denzilfernandes4611]

Even in India their Indian electricity Rules are freely available on the internet. In fact it is appreciated that everyone knows the laws and standard. It is a great help to local people to challenge the authorities/electricians when needed.

[@mb-electricalservices]

Excellent as usual Sparkyninja. ,👍

[@josefisica]

Hi. The videos are very useful. I'm starting to study for the 18th and I'm doing it by previewing the videos and then reading the chapters. For me the videos are fantastic. I also joined the facebook group. Thank you very much for making the videos very entertaining, interesting and full of information. Greetings.

[@nmajid1984]

Cheers pal. Really appreciate the explanations

Thankyou for these vids. I originally trained under 15th edition back In the late 80's. After years a technician in industry I have decided I fancy working for myself so I'm looking to get my 18th and test and inspect then join a partp scheme.

[@ericthekingthekingtheking4842]

Took my exam yesterday and sailed through it the exam is in the same order as the book so once you answer a question in say section 3 the next questions answer wasnt far away i left the book open on the page after each answer and it worked a treat for me that method, 10 questions on section 7 special locations 5 on part 6 inspection and testing there the bonus questions about 4 questions on external influences codes had that section tabbed straight to it in seconds so 20 questions i was certain were right the rest was pretty basic knowledge really, great series of videos sparky 👍 iv watched all yours aswell as john wards series on the 18th and a few other bits and bobs,when i was revising for the exam i timed myself with some mock questions to see if i could get to an answer in 2 minutes, also in the exam read the exam 1 to 60 dint open the book and must of got 25 right without blinking then went back an looked up to confirm reg or page answer, i had the book tabbed all the parts also table of tables ext influences volt drop info zs tables grouping factor tables every tab came in handy, good luck guys if your about to sit it but nowt to worry about 👍

Hi just discovered this, taking my exam soon. Is this still valid for the brown 18th edition book? Thanks

[@thewinters5412]

Hi Ninja I'm about to start watching these videos and want to be prepared, could you be more specific which other books you refer to. Thanks

[@EricTheHiking]

Thank you! Very well explained :)

[@claudiolemesjunior9195]

Does an eletrical engineer need to have the 18th edition? I'm not from UK and will be working there by next year.

[@gedepeefinest]

Please how do l get a copy of that book?

[@joshkilby4067]

Helped me loads, Thanks.

[@muzikman2008]

Thanks for your time and effort, did my 17th edition AMD 3 a couple of years ago, now bought new books (apart from Guidance notes 2018), am looking to do 18th edition exam in summer. Can I just do a refresher (like this you provide) and just do the exam for a fee?.. cheers Sparky N...top bloke.

[@hamzahbux3617]

Appreciate this thank you 🙏

[@ibroxx3283]

Hi sparkninja, came across your course today and I am working my way through. I am a mechanical maintenance engineer looking to start electrical training. I have been advised that I must either complete the 18th edition to gain access to the electrical course or complete an NC electrical engineering. I am thinking about going down the 18th edition route but wanted to ask your advice. With my knowledge being mechanical do you think this course may prove to be too difficult due to my limited electrical knowledge? Would you suggest any good reading material and training sites that may provide mock exams?

[@MSKChess]

Gas Engineer, I just wanna pass an exam but gonna watch the vids anyway and try to gain an understanding. My father is an electrician but impossible to work with :)

[@martinlewis1015]

Do you think they might get a digital pad version of regs with notes you can add, so it would be legal to use in exam

[@F7GOS]

Thanks bud Got this coming up soon

[@tlangdon12]

A great intro to the training. Thanks again for doing this. One comment; I would have found the final section on .1/.101/.201 (International/European/UK) reg numbering to be more useful with three examples from real life.

[@BB-vj4tt]

I must say thank you that was really helpful. God bless

[@jasonsaliba9669]

Can you recommend a training provider for the practical please I looked at Access but was shocked by some of the reviews.

[@BoxingHustle1]

Big up sparkyninja

[@hanreloots9545]

Fantastic. Could anyone please point me in the right direction with regards to where I can get a copy of the 18th edition book? Preferably online or pdf if possible?

[@linasb7429]

Hey, have you found book in pdf? Paperback book is very pricey... :(

[@matteofrancesca2897]

I am an Italian boy, I studied and worked in Italy. I'd like to work in England but unfortunately I don't know the difference between the two countries. before starting the Electrical: 18th Edition Wiring Regulations you could tell me which books I can study so in the classroom I will have the same level as the other classmates thanks

[@SparkyNinja]

Search for SparkyNinja page then you can see the groups from there.

[@eminemisdogshit4626]

Stealth tax. The regs book is one of the most expensive paperbacks. Why not just make a smaller one with the ammendments in

[@cquille]

So, I’ve just passed the 18th which I attribute (in no small part) to this video series in helping me achieve. Am I now an electrician? No, absolutely not. But I have a better understanding and greater appreciation for the art/trade. Its also ignited an interest to learn more. This is from someone just turned 50 and in a different career entirely. Strong work.

[@shaunbeard593]

Hi can u tell me if in a new build under 18th edition when putting metal back boxes in walls would all earth wires still have to be connected to earthing screw. I say yes my friend says no . Thanks in advance

All metal parts that make up the circuit need earthling and that includes back boxes

If you have one fixed lug on the back box then there is no need to tail an earth to the accessory, it is guidance only.

Hi this BS7671 is for works designed up to 100A. What standards applicable if greater than 100A?

[@SparkyNinja]

BS 7671 can be used for systems up to 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC - with the exception of distributors supplies and some others excluded from the scope. Technical information for systems in excess of 100 A would be best sought from the manufacturer but will still be under the standard.
