Hi guys,
As a qualified electrician, do you need to be registered with a Scheme in order to carry out Inspection&Test and EICR? It is not notifiable anyway! According to the Regs being competent is sufficient, but you never know, every day we hear a new thing :). I have completed the...
I have been working as an electrician under an NICEIC Approved Contractor for the past 10 years. I have my C&G2365 level 1/2/3 (acquired before 2021) and my 18th edition but I have started to carry out my own work on the side over the years so I plan to become self employed eventually and want...
I recently came across an electrician who came to my house, hardly spoke a word of English and had a translator with him.
I noticed he was wearing a NAPIT id badge around his neck.
My query is do NAPIT allow translators for foreign electricians? I mean if he cant speak English then how could he...
Hi
Did a call out yesterday afternoon. Isolated a section of the downstairs ring circuit in the new extension that had a L-E fault. Bit mysterious however the homeowner then began mentioning rats. Went next door and the neighbour showed us where he had blocked up some rat burrows right...
Hi all, I began my training back in 1977 as an apprentice in the Army, worked all over the world mainly building/maintaining bases and temporary power stations. Since leaving I have worked in Mining, Shipbuilding, Offshore and of late in Facilities maintenance and management. As most of my work...
I did a domestic installers course around 10 years ago (blimey time flies!). This is a level 2 qualification. I then registered with Stroma who fully accepted the course as being a sufficient qualification. All Stroma CPS members are now with Napit. I have had one assessment with Napit, they...
I have a customer who wants to get solar panels installed. He wants to take advantage of the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) meaning the install has to be done by someone who is MCS registered.
Does anyone on here do that, and works in the Stroud area, or fancies a job in the Stroud area?
Does...
I've been working as a domestic electrician for 6+ years now alongside two NICEIC approved contractors and I hold my 1/2/3 City & Guilds NVQ, 18th edition and 2 million public liability.
I started doing the odd side jobs a while back but my work seems to have snowballed to the point where I am...
Just thinking aloud.
Retirement is a long way off, but when it does happen I may well carry on doing smaller jobs once or twice a week. I don't think I would stay registered, but I may end up doing the odd CU change, or lets say I was even on a job where a building inspector was involved.
Now...
I recently achieved my 2391-52 but i haven’t done the AM2 yet nor I’m registered with any competent scheme.
I don’t have the experience on installing new circuits and issuing EICs.
I work for a big corporation and I have been asked/forced to undertake the job of installing two new circuits for...
I HAVE MY LEVEL 3 DIPLOMA IN ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION, 18TH EDITION, WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO BE ASAN CERTIFIED DOMESTIC ELECTRICIAN ? PART P? AND TESTING AND INSPECTION?
I called NAPIT to know what are the steps to become registered with them. I have been told I must have NVQ Level 3 as minimum or apply as experienced worker. Barely in mind I got all electrical qualifications until NVQ but not NVQ yet(City&Guilds lev.2, lev.3, 18th Edition and EAL...
I am registered with NAPIT in England for domestic installation and testing. Am I able to change a CU in a flat in Scotland? And am I able to issue an installation certificate for the work? Also, am I able to issue EICRs?
As far as I can see from the Scottish building regs, changing a CU does...
I currently work for a registered company but want to do notifiable work on the side. Do I need to create a business to be able to join a competent persons scheme like Napit or NIC. I’m really confused and would appreciate any help/advice.
Hi,
looking for some advise please.
Ive applied for NICEIC registration and I’m awaiting my assessment, my problem is that I’ve been advise by the NICEIC that the assessor will need to see 3 jobs on the visit and the certification needs to be in my company name. As any domestic work needs to...
Hi everyone first time asking on this so sorry if it’s been asked before. I’ve been asked to carry out a rewire in a private house and I’ve recently started my own company so I’m not registered with NICEIC or SELECT as I’m in Scotland. I’ve read conflicting reports that I can and can’t provide...
I've bought all the power and hand tools, and am planning to start up on my own doing small electrical jobs for people as a sole trader with small steps, the problem I think i'm going to have is being able to sign off the work when i've done it, my friend at college is working for someone so...
