    Hi,

    Can anyone here point me in the right direction for the syllabus for phase 6 of the electrical apprenticeship? I can't seem to find it anywhere online.

    All I know is it contains:

    Electrical Science
    Electrical Craft Practice
    Electrical Installation
    Workshop Electronics
    Power Distribution
    Programmable Logic Controllers
    Control and Alarm Systems

    Can anyone shed any light on what is actually covered in these subjects?

    Also is there a particular book anyone could recommend that would cover phase 6 (and phase 4 maybe too if possible)?

    Cheers...

    It has changed since I did it, so I dont know. But you could ring DIT on (01) 4023000 and ask to speak to someone in the electrical installation dept. They will be able to answer all your questions.

    I think a new syllibas was introduced last sept.

    I think the john whitfield books are recommended. Between both they cover most of the stuff.
    Volume 1
    Volume 2

    The science part is more or less these:
    PLC Control,
    Circuit Logic,
    PLC Operating Principles,
    AC Theory
    Synchronous Motors and speed control
    Dc machines
    transformers
    and electronics.

    The Craft roughly:
    Earthing,
    Tariffs and metering,
    Fire alarm systems} possibly gone with the new trade
    Intruder alarm systems}possibly gone with the new trade
    Door intercom systems
    Lighting Protection,
    UPS systems
    Switchgear

    I can email you good phase 4 notes if you want also might be able to get phase 6 notes from the instructor. The instructor has a notes summary good detailed notes which were really helpful. Go to Tallaght website and look up contacts in electrical engineering dept and email a guy called gerard stockhil

    I thought the phase 6 exam was a national exam & the whole country should sit it at the same time

    Yup, I'm up in Dundalk and our T1, T2 & T3 this week, all at 9:30 starts, same as Kevin Street anyway.

    The only one thats not done together is the PLC wiring exam, as you cant really cheat by knowing what's coming up.. Unless you've a spare eldon box & a few bits knocking about at home & practice practice practice!

    When I was doing mine back a few years ago we always heard Dundalk started a bit earlier.
    We already knew what our PLC exam was going to be at the time.

    Just finished phase 2 last week and back to work now. Done p3 and t2 last week and was just wondering how long will I be waiting for the results? Does it usually take a while or can you ring fas and get them?

    Phase 2 results are normally quite quick, can just take a few days. Ye, you can ring up and they will tell you once they have finalised all the marks.

    I suggest that you do an online revision course for phase 6 google electrical training it is availabel 24/7 and will give you plenty of past paper questions and answers interacively.
