Firstly the regs book read it all and study how it is set out. Especially read the stuff that makes no sense to you, this will take several efforts so don't give up . In conjunction with the regs book are the GN books, about a dozen in total, expensive but will help explain the big regs book. Use the internet and utube to offer a different type of learning and confirm your findings from your book work. Consult your colleagues/mentor(s) and confirm their teaching/advice. Study in groups and come to a consensus, chances are that between the group you will find the right answers. If you come across a subject that you find more difficult, don't give up, keep chipping away at it and it will click. remember no one knows everything, never bullshit, just say what's that? Teach me! No matter how old you are! you will ultimately be responsible for other people's safety, never attempt anything that you are not 100% confident of completing to the highest standard. Keep learning, training and studying.
EF they are additional books that greatly expand on the big regs book. Their are about a dozen (GN) guidance note books, no1 selection and erection, no3 teat and inspection, others for earthing and bonding and special locations for example
@@Trancerrr Thanks for the interest! After lockdown I found a firm to employ me as an electrical labourer. Now thanks to the experience I've gained the past couple of years I am almost ready to go in for my AM2. Having completed my lv2 & 3 c&g course and passed the 18th edition last year I have been building my portfolio wherever I can.
@@carrot5648 wow, sounds like you've been busy. Did you drop the course during lockdown? Sounds like you lucked out there mate. Best of luck to you in future. I currently work an IT job but so badly want to become an electrician. I've just purchased some of the books recommended in the video. Hopefully that'll get me started before I start my level 1 course.
@@Trancerrr Well the college centres were closed, but they set up an online based system that allowed us to study at home ready for the exams when centres re-opened. Recommend checking out the guys who I went with - New Trades Career. You can pay for the course monthly, but there is no interest to pay as it's essentially a student loan.
Thanks Gaz another top display showing essential electrical books that are required. I will certainly be purchasing 3 books out of the collection which I haven't got. They are a must now especially if recommended by GSH. Keep posting the great video's and sharing your undisputed knowledge. 👍👍👍
Great video Gaz, I would also recommend Guidance Note 3(Inspection & Testing) when you're coming up toward your level 3 . Also towards the middle and end of your apprenticeship buying The Electricians Guide to the Building Regulations, great for when you're out on your own in the big wide world. A good way of getting these is at one of the many trade shows around the UK, pop down, take a look, trust me you will find all the books you need and you will learn a lot about what's out there and what's coming up for the future. Keep up the good work mate, catch up soon.
Very informative! I'm hoping to become an adult apprentice soon, so have already started reading these books (currently on Electrical Installation Book 1). Great video.
Currently working on 2365 and have being using a book by Stephen L Herman Practical Problems in Mathematics for Electricians, it is American publication but covers every piece of mathematics and explains it all perfectly.
Thanks for the video. I have studied electrical principals and installation techniques in my own time as a hobby and have a lot of the books you highlight. What I'd really like to do is test how much I actually know but the local college just ignored my request - presumably because I'm retired and 70+ . Is there a way to do that?
I've been in the trade since i was 16 year old . imo theres better trades that earn more than us like aircon and commerical gas I would say to aim higher than a trade job . I've honestly never impressed a single person tellling them I'm an electrician lol
Bollocks without the understsnding we have as sparks these aircon guys wouldnt have a clue. Plus who cares what people think I love this job and I know many who still do who have been doing it for yonks! Plus charge your rates you feel you deserve trust me if you are worth it you will get it. Good luck
Cheers for the book list! Did my 2330 L3 back in 2010. Was just after some books again to refresh the theory. Any recommendations for a book on its own for basic formulae?
Hi, Do you have a recommendation for the electrical testing certificate books that are available on EBay ? Kewtech / Leaderman or any others ? Thanks in advance.
I found site with sooo much textbooks but all with almost same titles. My question is froooom beginner to professional competent full time working electrician step by step textbooks, books.
@@GSHElectrical I'm not in the early stage I'm practicing, done inspection & testing course, finished my Level 3 since 2013. I found GN3 very useful but I wouldn't like to waste money buying the rest if they are not going to be of any benefit. Regards, Ade.
Interesting video Gaz. Do you know any good resources for learning the maths you'll need as a spark? I know of Khan academy, but I'm wondering if there is anything specific for electricians.
I'm having same trouble been watching bits and bobs on algebra rearranging formula and the like but it's pretty confusing as it's in a different context to what we do in college.
Your videos are informative and inspiring. Keep them coming. Thank you.

I'm an adult learner approx 9 months into my course. I will be buying some of these to help me along! Thanks for the info! :)
How are you managing in the lockdown?
I'd love to hear about how you're getting on today

Just ordered the on site guide (BS 7671:7671:2018)(electrical regulations)
hey, I'm fresh into the trade, I'm 22 and coming into the trade quite late, thanks for the video it really helped me go in the right direction.
All the best and 22 is not late. Thanks for the kind words. Gaz 👍🏻

GrumpyGrampa have you attempted the 1200 + questions on the eFIXX apprentice hub?
@@GSHElectrical Thanks. I have registered there just recently and had a look at a couple of modules. I'll go back and see how I get on.
Thank you for being so helpful!
Are these electrical books usable for apprentices in Ireland?
The best, i am brasilian, look videos..very good
I love this channel. Thanks Gaz 👍🏻
Wall Bouncer thanks 👍
Electrical Installations Book - 9th Edition by Brian Scaddan is great for Level 2 and level 2
Hi Gaz great work as always - The pocket guides for quick reference could come in handy.
They sure are. Thanks for the message 👍
This video has definitely been some help 👍
Thank you I like your videos.
I used the union’s version of the on site guid. Loads cheaper. But that was many years ago.
I've been in the trade since i was 16 year old . imo theres better trades that earn more than us like aircon and commerical gas

@@GSHElectrical would know to any online schools?
Great video with very useful information.
Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks
Thank you very much for your help.
Great video. Would these books be applicable to someone studying in the U.S.? Is the electrical coding and installation different?
Cheers for the book list! Did my 2330 L3 back in 2010. Was just after some books again to refresh the theory. Any recommendations for a book on its own for basic formulae?

Possibly not but thanks for watching
So what's the difference between eal and city and guilds?
Hi, Do you have a recommendation for the electrical testing certificate books that are available on EBay ? Kewtech / Leaderman or any others ? Thanks in advance.
How long is it before an apprentice could do domestic installer role, as in after 1st year or after final year, somewhere in between?
I found site with sooo much textbooks but all with almost same titles. My question is froooom beginner to professional competent full time working electrician step by step textbooks, books.
What about the book called electrical course for apprentice n journeymen all new 4th edition
Hi, you mentioned the guidance note 3 inspection and testing books. Would you recommend one should buy the other guidance notes 1,2 and 4 - 8?
