As title. Where do you source your certificates? I'll be dealing mostly with EICR & Minor works certs.

TIA
 
elec. certs.on ebay. £11.99 for a disc with all you need.
 
Create your own in a editing or desktop application?
 
I'm not a member of one of the mobs (haven't been trading long enough).

I've created my own, but they don't look professional enough when printed on my Epson SX430. I might try better quality paper, as I prefer to populate the data on my PC with my business details printed on them too, as opposed to hand written (I just think it's more professional).

If the new paper still looks poor, I'll have to buy some certs from somewhere and hand write them. That's why I'm asking the question regarding best place to buy pre printed certs.

Cheers.
 
I would investigate a PC package. You can add in your logo and details. You can also print to pdf and then email to customer.

Could you link to one, or is that against forum rules?

Also, is it acceptable to give the customer just an electronic copy? I thought they would require "wet ink" paper copies?

Thanks for the advice.

Cheers. I've made a full suite of certs in Excel so I can convert to PDF once populated. What do you put in the signature boxes, a signature type font or an image of your signature?

I'd much prefer working with electronic copies. Better for record keeping, and much less hassle.

I use Icertifi it's ideal, wouldn't try anything else it has auto filling options etc it's great!
 
Icertifi, now you're talking!

I'll need to see how the volume of work goes before I can justify the subscription, but definitely a handy tool.

BTW Helmooth, did you get round to doing the 2394/5 course?

No mate haven't had the chance been too busy, will do it after the year defo! Did you get it done?

I ended up buying the 3 month subscription, and agree it's excellent.

Yea, I did do the courses... Actually completed my written exams on Monday night and last night.
