Guys, i like to have a broad knowledge base and range of work, as i get bored doing the same things day in day out.
From working on F1 hospitality units, to kitting out warehouses, to a little bit of domestic (however i generally hate domestic Re-wires, so rarely do these).
I have been thinking of going into car charging point installations now, as i can see this being good business in the next 5-10 years and a good sector to be in early. Especially with the grants available.
Having done a bit of research, in order to be able to obtain the grants i would need to be OLEV registered, which has the following criteria:
1 - proof of membership of the Electrician Associations (e.g. NICEIC/ECA/Select) - your details will need to be visible on the relevant website
2 - proof of your public liability insurance - not employers’ liability insurance
3 - proof your company's installers have been trained to install electric vehicle chargepoints; names of installers, their qualifications and renewal dates
4 - proof you are approved by the chargepoint manufacturer/s to install their products
5 - ensure all evidence provided is up to date and lists your current address - if there is any difference between your evidence and your application, please provide an explanation
1 - check
2 - check
3 - This i assume i need to do a course on?
I see the Niceic do a 1 day course themselves for a fairly reasonable cost!
So i assume this would cover this criteria?
4 - I have completed Schneider's online "course" and passed their little exam with Certificate to install their products, so this criteria should be covered?
5 - Check.
So looks like other than a 1 day course, i would be sorted?
Anyone done this, any advice, and was it worth it?
Cheers
