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

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 :)
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.
Congratulations Mate. I am preparing for exam. Any tips
@@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.
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 .
Thank you SpakyNinja today I passed the 18th after watching your videos, now off to Florida.
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
Just taken 18th edition exam 92% pass many thanks sparky ninja Joe worcester 👍
Well done Joe 👍
Hey - Did you manage to just sit the exam or did you have to take the course too?
brilliant job thanks ninja
Stealth tax. The regs book is one of the most expensive paperbacks. Why not just make a smaller one with the ammendments in
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
Plus one Russian with his chicken brain subscribed and trying to understand your lessons and your effort to help. Thank you a lot. I ll keep watching you in the evenings after work. Doing my lvl 3 domestic course.

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
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.
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
Can I follow this with the new brown book?
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.
Great teacher helping people. Excellent Introduction. Thank you very much !
Thanks for your time making these videos..
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.
Hi just discovered this, taking my exam soon. Is this still valid for the brown 18th edition book? Thanks
Your my man thank you for your help!!! God bless 👍✌🍀
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!
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?
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.
Excellent as usual Sparkyninja. ,👍
What an excellent teacher you are, thanks for the video
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
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?
Hello, this is an excellent video thanks so much! Does anybody know how Long the 18th edition certificate last? IE do you need to do update/refresher course every year or two? thanks
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.
fantastic content and structure. Explained well and keeps it interesting. Thanks sparky ninja!
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.
Does an eletrical engineer need to have the 18th edition? I'm not from UK and will be working there by next year.
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.
Can you recommend a training provider for the practical please
I looked at Access but was shocked by some of the reviews.
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.
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 👍
Thank you sparky ninja watch all the videos and passed with 96.67%
Cheers pal. Really appreciate the explanations
Hi. What's the Facebook page group name? Is it still going? I'm currently in year 3 C&G electrical
Search for SparkyNinja page then you can see the groups from there.
Very helpful passionate approach towards your profession and colleagues can't thank you enough you are doing a great job.
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.
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
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.
Thank you very much SparkyNinja.
With the help of these lessons I scored 100% on my 18th edition exam.
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?
Hey, have you found book in pdf? Paperback book is very pricey... :(
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
Hi sir
How can I book 2382-18 edition exam directly with city & Guilds please?
Could someone reccomend the best place to do your 18th edition?
Would this series help with Regs Book section of the FICA trade exam? Cheers.
Thank you! Very well explained :)
Please how do l get a copy of that book?
Thank you very much for the effort. passed. :-)
Hi sparkyninja I am hoping to do some first fix for a building early next year. Can you tell me if drilling position in beams and wiring zones in walls have changed. Thanks
522.6.202 is what you want to look at
This is top-tier stuff, thank you!
Nice one sparkninja.. just starting on my 18th edition qualification..
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Hi sparky ninja have you got an email where i could contact you
content@sparkyninja.com
Great video, much thanks and will be following this series like a hawk 👍🏻
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.
Great work mate well done
Ninja thanks for ur time pal 👍🏾
Many thanks. Much appreciated.
Thank you for the video!!
God Bless you!!
This is great stuff!!
What a legend ….. is there an email that I can directly email you on
Regards 🤝
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
@@heladas90 thank you
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.
Amazing, thank you so much for this. Huge help
would this be helpful for electrical installation level2
Yes
@@SparkyNinja thanks
I must say thank you that was really helpful. God bless
Absolute legend. This has been a lot more useful than those pesky online courses. Can you believe they ask for £400+ for a 20h online course?
Thanks bud Got this coming up soon
Quality!!!!
Big up sparkyninja
Appreciate this thank you 🙏
Thank you so much
Thank you dude. Total leg end. :)
As usual Great video thank you
What a legend this guy is
Legend
Helped me loads, Thanks.
Hello! I am new here
Hi me too😀
Thank you 👍
Cheers
Legend!
Hey sparky. Just nailed 100% on the exam. Never touched electrical wiring before. These episodes work. Thank you sir.
Do you think you can be an electrician by taking this exam if you are a mechanical engineer
Please if you have any idea?
another wow! Fair play to you for putting this together. Will be binging on them now over the weekend like a new Netflix original series!!
Hi this BS7671 is for works designed up to 100A. What standards applicable if greater than 100A?
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.
I have some questions on the inspection and testing online exam, how is best to contact you?
email via the address on the about page, or you can message me on instagram, twitter etc.
I don't use Instagram and I'm banned from twitter
Anybody who has completed 18th edition test wants to give away books or materiel ?
Great videos and very informative. Thank you. I don't want to sound like an ass but I did notice that you spelt device wrong when referencing regulation 531.2.1
Didn't want to, yet you did
