2A or 2B — which do you need?
The 2nd Class certificate is two parts, each passed independently. Most candidates work through Part A and Part B in turn.
Part A (2A) — this page
Code calculations, industrial administration, applied mechanics, thermodynamics, metallurgy, materials testing, boilers, pumps, and water treatment. 668 questions.
Part B (2B)
Heat engines and prime movers, lubrication, piping, plant systems, controls, combustion, electrotechnology, compression, and refrigeration. 733 questions.
Working through both? The 2nd Class bundle covers Part A and Part B together.
