It’s a simple fact of life that we humans always take the least line of resistance……..

We have a cautionary tale for you and yes, it may sound a bit like eggs and suck but please heed our advice!

It goes a bit like this………

A guy calls us……he asks us “how much do we charge for just sitting a City and Guilds 2382-10 examination – that’s the full certificate for the 17th edition no less…..we tell him, “that’s £120.00 plus VAT”….he then says….”that’s a bit steep, I only paid £14.00 for the whole course!”….we say…”what…a full course for £14.00….where is absolute bargain of a course?”…..”Oh….I downloaded it from a really good internet site called www xxxx !”…(we wont name names here, really to protect any embarrassment)………..he carries on “So, is that it….I got through the exam on the download and passed with flying colours”………so we asked him a few basic questions about the number of parts in the 17th…you know the sort of thing….what is a TT system…nothing to heavy mind you……..after that little discussion, it dawned on us and more importantly on him….he really didn’t know his way around the 17th edition – whets more, the questions that he said the download contained were not only badly worded, the answers to 4 questions, that this so called programme gave him, were just plain wrong!

Now I am not here to say, come to us and you will get through the exam……no, and for the record, there is absolutely no such thing as a 100 % pass mark for any training provider….but if you go to a reputable City and Guilds approved centre, then you will be thoroughly prepared for the exam and hopefully pass…….

So, if you are someone that really wants to pass the 17th edition, please, please be wary of downloaded “17th edition” exam questions……you may be wasting a lot of your time………
