I too tried finding something like that too, but with no Joy.
At the end i went on learnatrade.co.uk and bought a revision CD from there for £15.95 inc,p&p.
I have been told by most plumbing students on my course this will really help in your exams.

you should if you are doing this through a registered college access smartscreen on the C&G website for free

I was always asking for mock papers too, with no luck. It turned out the years of study was enough to help get the exams passed. good luck

When I did my 6129, I remember going for the first practical and booking first test etc, and I was anxious, but you'll soon relax and get into the swing of things and get to know what they're expecting of you and how you need to be thinking. To be honest the course is quite easy if you're prepared to put the time in and be committed to it. The real work starts when you pass and have to move on from there, you learn way more in the real world, but you do need the underpinning knowledge before you start in the real world. I've been out on my own now for nearly 18 months since I passed my 6129 and I can honestly say I love my job and am out 7 days a week whatever time., day/night and am so busy at the moment.If you want to progress after course I think you need to bend over backwards to help customers out. Be helpful, polite and respectful and turn up when you say your going to and clean up after your job, it will go a long way. Try to get on with manufacturers courses to get a better insight into things, last week I did a Valliant course on ground/air source heat systems and solar.
Good Luck and you will make of it what you want to with the correct attitude and dedication.

hi mate i did the 6128 after i was ripped off as i was meant to do the 6129 (long story) and yeah the course has given me some good knowlege and lots of good refrence books, all i did to help my studdy is highlight any key words/phrases/abreviations etc and when i compleated each module i re-read the highlighted parts before i did the end of module test. Another thing i suggest is to do the test in pencil, submit the test and when you get your results and any questions you get wrong make sure you highlight the correct answers in your book afterwards. keep at it mate - its tedious and loads of reading but in my eyes it provides good knowlege.

[herbert]

whats wrong with the 6128 ?

nothing but was more or less told i was gonna be doing 6129 thats all

 

[fuzzy]

why did you want to do the 6129 instead of the 6128?

 

[herbert]

i had no preferance at the time and i was told the 6128 was being discontinued

 

[fuzzy]

so is the 6129, both the same in that respect

I used a downloaded muliple choice practice test. I'm pretty sure it was from Learnatrade.co.uk, it was excellent and in every test there were 4 or 5 questions that had beed in the practice tests. Highly recommended.
