ELECSA Certification Scheme Elecsa...

[DNS1]

Considering registering with ELECSA and thought I'd see what people have to say about them.

Did their online registration form and was a bit surprised to see they want payment immediately, which put me off submitting it.

Any comments about them would be appreciated...

It's all about the dollar ! I've been with them second year now, there ok.

No issues with them.

Been with them 3 years no problem with them at all... But... No to start the old argument again but I find a lot of my customers ask niceic.

The elecsa chap not naming names said that as nobody really recognises elecsa; put the new safety register logo on my paperwork as apparently some companies flick through quotes and weed out the Nic logo

Nic spent loads on advertising that's why

That's what I said to the chap I then asked him are elecsa planning on spreading the word through advertising etc and his response the best method of their advertising is through word of mouth through contractors which is ok but they need to do something

Don't want to sound daft but is this allowed? To be honest this is something I've never considered

Thanks for that mate, I'll take another look at their website.

I was kind of expecting them to take my details, check I was legit, organise an assessment and then take payment. Wasn't expecting a box for my credit card number at the bottom of the initial enquiry form!

no...what they will do is arrange for 3 monthly payments (which can be done by direct debit)....after the final payment has cleared they will send you out details of available assessment dates....then its up to you to decide which one is best for you....

Been with ELECSA couple of years now and no problems at all with them. Though I have found that quite a few customers want you to be NECIEC registered ....... I just move on to the next job!!

Thanks for that info mate, I assumed they'd want 2 jobs.

No only one also niceic also want payment up front

Why would they not? You are asking them to come out and assess your work, to say whether or not you are competent. If you only pay when succesful, who would pay their time etc if you failed?

Elecsa will only book your assessment once you've paid in full!
