    NICEIC Certification Scheme 2391 V NICEIC - Whats the point in 2391??

    Get your facts right, i was told. I don't think that they are going to ask if you are a member of the Tufty club, or you have a Blue Peter badge!

    Thanks for your comments Andy. I am an Elecsa member, and one of the first requirements was 2391. Enough said!

    Hi Des, there is a saying in our industry that "no 2 sparks work alike". Everyone has their own interpretation of regs etc, but facts are facts. My main point was that you cannot enrol with either Elecsa or NIC without 2391 or equivalent. In the end, one of the guys, who is a QS but without...

    NICEIC Certification Scheme 2391 V NICEIC - Whats the point in 2391??

    Ok, guys, this is my first time on this site, and i have learned that qualifications have been overuled by the "competent persons scheme" I have been in this industry for 44 years and i am still learning today. I have virtually every qualification necessary for me to carry out my field of work...

    Fair comment. It also doesn't state that you even need to be an electrician. I think that if you applied, things may get a bit more rigorous. I may be wrong, and a painter and decorator who wired his moms extension may be able to join. I hope not!!

    Please don't get me wrong. I cannot call Westwood for his abilities, and i am quite sure he is competent in what he does. Has this industry gone to pot, where the "competent person" clause now covers everything. Who and what defines competency? It used to be qualifications. Now, it appears to be...

    That depends on how long you have been sat at the computer on a Bank Holiday Monday. Despite the etimology of the sentence, i think we get the jist of the conversation.

    Hi Andy, i completely agree with you. I have 2391, but i still had issues with Building control and insurance companies becoming more complient. I eventually joined Elecsa to get them off my back, and by the way, you can't join Elecsa or NIC without 2391

    How would you know, if you haven't got it. Try leaving your present employer and telling them you are a qualifying officer, but don't hold 2391. Good luck with that.

    Hi Andy, NIC, Elecsa and ECA are now owned by Certsure. If you hold 2391, this proves your ability to test and inspect. I don't think having a 17th edition qualification would hack it in court.

    If the job that you are in allows you to be a qualifying officer, without holding 2391, then don't rock the boat.

    Fair comment. Try joinin NIC or Elecsa without it.

    Hi, so look at the above posts, to find a guy that is a QS, but doesn't have 2391!

    Hi Andy, so what you are saying, is that because you are a qualified electrician, you are automatically entitled to fill in a cert to cover the work you have undertaken. Why do you think that BS2391 was introduced? Its a level above 1st and 2nd fix installation. To gain 2391, you need to be able...
