Licences

The toolkit stays free.

A licence gets you ready for your phase exams: every module practised, every answer explained. Pay by the month or for the year; the toolkit itself stays free forever.

When I was studying I found it very difficult, and myself and a lot of others paid for after-hours lessons, €50 per hour. I definitely would have used this instead of at least one or two of those lessons.

What a licence actually does

Do I need to be online to use it?: Only to activate, and any connection will do: the wifi at home, a hotspot, a colleague’s phone. After that Sparks runs offline for a month at a time and renews itself quietly whenever you next have signal.
Monthly or yearly?: The same licence either way. Monthly renews itself each month until you stop it, which takes your key and one click at sparksireland.ie/cancel, and stays open to the end of the month you paid for. Yearly is paid once, and nothing renews by itself.
What happens on a new phone?: Activate it with the same key. A licence covers a number of devices, and you can release one from Settings to free the seat.
What happens when it runs out?: The paid content closes and the free toolkit carries on working. Calculators, the isolation checklist and the colour codes never expire, and the records of the toolbox talks you gave stay on your phone.
I am a foreman, not an apprentice. Is it for me?: The toolbox talks are: one for every week of the year, written for electrical work in Ireland, each with a short scene, the points to make and questions to put to the crew. Afterwards the phone goes round, everyone signs with a finger under their own name, and one tap makes the PDF for the safety file or the insurer. It remembers your sites and the crew on each.
Is this an official course?: No. Sparks is a study aid written with a practising electrician. Always verify against the current edition of I.S. 10101, and follow your training provider.
