Hi all. Found this forum while looking for help with my upcoming ntta exam on the 16th of may.

Been in the trade over 8 years now and finally got a garage to sponsor me. It's been something I've wanted even before finishing my apprenticeship over 4 years ago. Unfortunately, I've been unable to get a hold of my nvq's hence the reason I'm down for the exam.

Looks like a great forum here. Found lots of great info so far. I'll be swatting up as much as I can. I only want to sit this test once. Lol.

Hi guys, not been on for a while due to studying for my NTTA exam and I'm pleased to say that I passed yesterday!

Would just like to thank this fourm and its users as reading all the info on here defiantly helped me pass. The hillers fundamentals of mechanics book 1 (recommended a few times on here) was also a massive help.

Thanks again...

Well done Gaz. A lot of people have said the NTTA is the most difficult part. The next bit is probably the easiest, then your practical and that's when you have to start learning all over again.

Some of us here are still learning after 20+ years!

I was told this before I went for the test. I work for a fairly large company who have sent others for the test, very few have passed, most are very good mechanics but practical and theory are different things.

We will always be learning in this trade baz. I worked with a few more senior guys in the past who have probably forgot more than I will ever know!
