JTL Practice Assessment

Congratulations on being invited to the JTL assessment.

On the day, the JTL assessment will last for 65 minutes. With the time necessary foradministration you should expect to be finished in about 95 minutes.

The assessment itself is designed to look at 3 very important skill areas. These are:a. Literacy skills;b. Numeracy skills;c. Applied science and enhanced mathematical aptitude.

They are very important because Advanced Apprenticeships offered by JTL require theintensive use of many skills and aptitudes specific to our industry. The JTL assessment gives us a

good indication of your ability to complete an advanced apprenticeship.

To help you prepare for the JTL assessment, we have provided some practice questions onthe following pages for you to try.

Answer all the questions at your own pace, then turn to pages 18 and 19 at the back of thisbooklet and check your answers are correct.

These practice questions are in the style of the real assessment but are not the same.

Do not worry about trying to remember these questions; they will not be part of theassessment.

When you turn up for the JTL assessment, please remember to bring:

2 HB pencils;A pen;An eraser;A pencil sharpener;Details of your National Insurance number if you have one.

IMPORTANT

You should have already sent us evidence of absence of colour vision deficiency (i.e. a passedcolour blindness test). If you have not, then you must bring a copy to the JTL Assessment andhand it to the invigilator. Any Optician will be able to conduct this test and provide you with theresults. Without this, your application cannot be progressed further. The test results must clearlystate your name and that you do not suffer from colour blindness. We will accept originals onthe day but these cannot be returned.

12 Lavender Close

London SE22 3ESDear Louise,

Peter said you were very upset because of the problem with your washingmachine. He thought the problem might be the pump.

I think the problem is actually the switch. The only way to be sure is to get aprofessional plumber, like the ones I always use, to have a look at it. I willcontact this company and ask them to ring you to make an appointment tocome round to your house.

Please dont get too upset, I am sure they will be able to fix the machinequite quickly but it might take some time to order the spare parts.

Whatever you do, dont let Peter take the washing machine apart. It wouldbe very dangerous and he could hurt himself and the machine. Only use aqualified plumber.

Best wishes.

John

The following text shows the answers to the top four frequently askedquestions (FAQs) asked by installers of the Splash Shower System

Company. Use this text to answer the four questions that follow it:

FAQ answer 1

The Splash Divine range of All in One power showers are products which have thepump and mixing valve in one box. They only require a minimum distance of 75mmfrom the base of the cold-water cistern to the top of the Splash Divine case. This is toensure there is enough gravity fed water, to prime the internal pump. This verticaldistance will need to be increased in direct proportion to how far the product is awayfrom the stored cold water supply.

FAQ answer 2

The Splash Therm One shower is the first thermostatic electric shower, (controlling to

+/ 1 degree centigrade) available. It incorporates push button control for flow andon/off control plus a version with extended lever temperature control for easier grip.A maximum temperature setting can currently be set to ensure the outlet temperaturedoes not exceed 43 degrees centigrade.

FAQ answer 3

When the Splash Therm One, 10.8kW, shower is installed on a 240v supply itrequires a 45 Amp supply fuse. To minimise voltage drop, and thereby maximiseshower performance, the minimum cable size required must not be less than 6mm.

All Splash electric showers will accommodate up to 10mm cable and the SplashTherm Two, up to 16mm. Use the shortest possible cable route from the consumer unitto the appliance.

FAQ answer 4

Do not connect a Splash Dream 3 to a mains water supply, as product damage willoccur and Water Regulations will be contravened. The Splash Dream 3 is designedto be gravity fed from a cold water storage cistern. The Splash Dream 3 is not apower shower and a higher flow rate will not be achieved if installed on mainspressure. A power shower is one where stored hot and cold water is pumped via

a mixing valve.
