Hi Mark,

Thanks, but not sure if I'll have to keep them to refer to them in the future.

College are offering them for £134.00.

I think I can source them on ebay for £60 ish, apart from the Study Notes.

Just wondering if anyone had them gathering dust.

Cheers,

Pat...

Most sparks who buy them will need them for the rest of their career so a cheap set it harder to come by.
What are you doing, an apprenticeship or your 2391?

Starting my 16th Edition (12 week course) and then who knows.

Possibly domestic installation course, pat testing and the p thing.

Also starting to work some evenings for my friend who owns his own computer business, but is snowed under at the moment.

Plus my 9-5 job at Court.

And building a car and moving house all at the same time.

All good fun.

Try the library Pat, ours has the IEE regulations or Amazon if you want to buy them. The study notes are about £15 I think.

Ive still got my 16th Edition books. Never use them. Mate is electrician so doubt ill ever need them again. Im sure i had a few old papers for revision prposes as well.

What are they worth? Ill have to gather them together and confirm exactly what there is. I know the course cost loads, i had to pay quite a bit for the books.

Text me if you want to do a deal? 07789 452474.

Past pepers will take some digging out, asuming i still have them.

Any use?

hi darren the latest edition is 2001 amended 2004, the brown one. An older one is still worth something, but you couldnt be sure where they've changed small details.
