Ccn1 initial practical assessment help

[Dgas]

Hi all, I'm new to the forum so please be patient while I get my feelers going!
I am doing my initial ccn1 on Thursday and am looking for any help/guidance on what it all entails? I have my portfolio all submitted and have come across the general scenarios on at least one occasion for what is required, just want to prep myself as much as I can and would appreciate any guidance from those whom have completed already? I have my multi elements the following week too, so anything associated is gratefully received.

Thanks in advance

Just relax when you start and listen to what is asked of you, don't go off on a tangent thinking you need to save the world!
by that I mean do what they ask and no more.

passive stacks brain went to neutral as metioned se ducts featured highly along with loads of stuff on outdated items not used now but ripped out!!!

I did mine a couple of months ago...hadn't worked in the industry for 4 years!! Did 3 weeks revision and passed. The secret to these type of tests is knowing your reference material, you don't need to try and memorize info, just be able to locate it. ( and understand it obviously )

 

[spanner]

Good for you mate.. I'm hoping to get on board this
. But it's confessions for bookwork..
Workings with an engineer is an advantage but the time and availability for catching up with the signing off my work is another thing

Just refreshing on stuff now. But one thing most important thing is the flu and safety extinguishment of combustion brb

Just got in from the pub after celebrating! What a mentally taxing week. Since my last post I have now completed all ccn1 theory and practical, and did my final day today for all appliances. Needless to say I'm overjoyed, but also pleased its over with. It wasn't particularly complex, just a lot to cover if you press it all into 4 days as I did.

Best advice I can give as its still so fresh i my mind..... Read all you can, take your time, all the info is there you just need to know where to find it. The practical is the same, nothing you won't come across one time or another in some form. Lots of tightness testing, burner pressures, gas rates etc. manufacturers instructions are king!!!!

off to get some kip now, hopefully dream about something other than open flues.

 

[Chris F]

Yeah I did mine not to long ago,I had flues and ventilation on the brain.
