j_jza80 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Shouldn't someone from your work told you? Or should you not have been researching this if you knew in advance? I'd google it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 no i got a book sent to revise from but thought i would see if anyone has done the test, i think most of the test is about global warming and that nonscense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 we have been doing it for a while too the practical wont be hard, its just being put on the spot with questions which is not my strong point in any situation Same as me, could do it all day long but when it came to doing questions it instantly blanks the mind! Anyway, for mine, I had a 3 part exam, one part gassing a car safely, remember to wear the gloves and goggles like we all do, plus did you know there is a new law stating that gloves have to be of an approved type and that limits it to only 1 pair... Second part was evacuating from a bottle into the a/c tank in your machine, again easy... Third part wasn't so easy... question time! It was totally random questions ranging from where does the gas turn from a liquid to vapour, what year did they bring out laws on certain things, that i've never heard of... To be honest its quite hard to fail, I came out with a 100% pass score on all 3!! To be fair, the questions are totally pointless as its nothing we need to know! But I do have a nice gay picture card and got to do a regas on a Aston Martin Vanquish today, although it failed on a leak test and held 300psi pressure for an hour with the OFN Good luck dude..

Rob_Mitchell Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 lol just a update i did pass it was sooooo easy but then again people do fail.... seemed a waste of £270 but i guess i need the certificate to carry on testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
