JW I've recently passed my 2391-52 and I just wanted to thank you as all your videos have really helped me to get through!! I've been a commercial spark for over 20 years but had no real clue about the how electricity is actually distributed throughout the the country and understand it!! Mad I know lol but true story, with electrics you never stop learning...

Hello John,

I certainly owe you a refresher tutorial fee. I took my time to go through the series of tutorials and they are so spot on.

Thank you very much for these videos. You deserve all the good things of life.

Thank you again!!

Hi John, Thank you for the best electrical installation tutorials on YOUTUBE. Very handy for sparks to keep up to date with practical theory.

[john]

I have never seen this type of information explained so clearly. Thank You.

I learn more from these videos than i ever did sitting and listening in college. the instructor we had was useless and never demonstrated or explained things as well as these videos.

You are a god send my friend. I'm doing my level 3 after a few years hiatus from the field and was really struggling before I watched your videos. For some reason I really understand topics better when you explain them compared to my lecturer who just wizz's through everything at lightning speed and gets annoyed when I ask a question.

I've realised I don't learn very well in a classroom situation.. you have explained everything far, far clearer! Thank you, absolutely saved my bacon and I think I can now pass my level 2 🙏

[jamessterling]

Thanks John, you are one of the best when it comes to electrical instruction, I learn a lot from you.

Trying to nail my testing (2394) assessment on the next (2nd attempt)..
I think JW is going to help me a lot with these videos.
Thanks for your teachings and help John..

Hi John, great thanks. In functional testing I add, all switches set to OFF, everything is OFF! There's always a two way switch somewhere where there was a 50/50 chance!

I could follow this guy all day! so simple and in depth explanation. Why do i bother search other videos through a title? i always land back here to John Wards videos. Been subbed for a while now and will continue.

Hi John,

A big thank you for your videos, always giving great explanation and presentation. I apologise it's taken me this long to pass my thanks, especially as I'm a longer term subscriber and avid watcher of all your stuff.

I hope you don't mind, but if you get time maybe a video on economy 7 meters and their function, install and switching process.

Hi John, I was looking at a wholesaler's catalogue the other day and it occurred to me that the number of socket outlets that have added functions such as USB charging etc now far outweigh standard power outlets these days (at least they did in this volume).😵
My thinking, with this in mind is that the order of testing would surely need to reflect the installation.
I'm thinking specifically that accessories with sensitive components need to be removed during IR testing, therefore, in a ring circuit containing a number of outlets with USBs it would seem to make sense to do the IR test first with them disconnected, then connect them up and carry out procedure for continuity tests.
Am I missing something?
BTW, I'm a firm believer that a socket outlet should be just that and nothing else, but we are where we are 😒

A very nice presentation, hope you continue to educate students through the internet.thanks
