Questions about the course

Something else? Send us a message.

Is the course up to date with Amendment 4?
Yes. Everything is written for BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 (the current “Orange Book”, published 15 April 2026) and the City & Guilds 2382-26 exam that replaced 2382-22. Questions on things that changed in Amendments 2, 3 and 4 are tagged, so you can drill just the changes.
How close are the mock exams to the real 2382‑26 test?
Each full mock is 60 questions in 2 hours, with questions spread across the eight learning outcomes in the same proportions as the City & Guilds test specification (4, 2, 6, 15, 14, 4, 7 and 8 questions). We mark you against approx. 60%, the pass mark City & Guilds publishes. About 36 of 60. City & Guilds says approx., so aim well above it.
Do I need my own copy of BS 7671?
Yes. The exam is open book, and the fastest way to pass is to practise with the same copy you’ll take in. Every explanation tells you the regulation number and where to find it, so you build your lookup speed as you revise.
Does the price include the exam?
No. This is revision, lessons and practice exams. You book the exam itself with a City & Guilds (or EAL) approved centre, either in person or with remote invigilation where the centre offers it.
How long do I get, and is it a subscription?
You get 12 months’ access from the day you buy, for a single payment of £79. There’s no subscription and nothing renews automatically.
What’s in the question bank?
400+ exam-style questions across every Part of BS 7671. Each one has a plain-English explanation, the regulation number and a “find it in your book” route. Smart review brings back the questions you get wrong until they stick.
Who checks the questions?
Every question is written to the City & Guilds 2382-26 specification weighting and checked against BS 7671:2018+A4:2026. Every answer cites the regulation it’s based on (264 regulations in all), and all 414 questions show the route through your book. Content last updated 11 Oct 2026. If you think an answer is wrong, tap “Report this question” (it’s on every question) and we’ll review it.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. The course, practice questions and mock exams all work on phones, tablets and computers, and it installs on your phone’s home screen like an app. Your progress syncs across them automatically.
What if it’s not for me?
Contact us within 14 days of buying and we’ll refund you in full. See the refund policy for details.
