Hi 

I have my health and safety exam coming up to finish my apprenticeship. 

I've completed my apprenticehip through lockdown and im still not back at work full time. 

I'm really struggling to revise does anyone have any tips? 

Luann - looking at the title of your thread, it suggests a health and safety apprenticeship.

However, on the basis of the content of your posting I am guessing that it is a different type of apprenticeship in which your knowledge of health and safety issues could not be expected to be as extensive.

So, what sort of apprenticeship and do you have any idea of what may come up in the exam - if you provide this information, you are more likely to get useful answers to your original Q.

So, as example, if you are an apprentice joiner I would expect you to be able to answer QQ on topics such as the guarding of most typical woodworking machines - circular saws, spindle moulders and so on.

Conversely if doing an apprenticship in steel erection, you might get QQ on things like use of fall arrest equpment.

Good luck, Peter

Here is the formula that has worked for me and for many others.

First make notes as suggested by Connor.  Even if you don't normally handwrite anything and even if the e**m is not going to be handwritten, writing them down with a pen on paper is the best way to get the information into your head (at least many people find this although it may not be for everyone).

Then identify some sample questions that you may be asked in the e**m.  These might be actual past or sample questions that the e**m provider has supplied to you or they might be ones you have made up based on what you think might be asked.

Then sit down without access to any notes, materials or the internet, look at the questions and write down your answers.  Having done this go back to your notes, materials, internet or whatever else will supply the correct answers and mark your answers.

The first time you do this you are likely to give yourself low marks.  Don't be disheartened.  Leave these questions for another day, and then repeat the step of answering the questions without access to prompts.  Eventually, you will become slick in answering the sample questions and confident in answering related questions.

Finally, the topmost tip of all tips for e**m success.  On the day, RTFQ (Read The F***ing Question).  Answer exactly the question which is asked, not the question you would like to answer.

Thank you all. I'm currently just coming to the end of my health and safety apprenticeship as my exams got delayed. Hopefully this time next month i should be a fully qualified health and safety technician ! Thank you for all the tips. I have been writing flash cards and writing lots and lots of notes by hand.
