Morning guys

I was wondering if anyone can help me?
I'm in the process of completing my level 3 in inspection and testing, then I will move onto the 17th Addition.
But would like to know what are the minimum requirements for working abroad? I guess you will need off shore Survival/ possible Complex but is there anything else I am missing!! And how does it work with being hammered by the tax man!

maybe a nvq lvl 3

Judging by the state of installs done by immigrants for our local authority i would say all you would need would be a change of clothes.

Qualifications that make you a spark here and then any standard they generally want. And I assume you mean compex not complex, are you talking about offshore working?

I take it you mean 17th Edition and not 17th Addition

level 3 in inspection and testing,what is that some new exam?

If your talking about off shore or anything to do with the oil & gas industry i'm afraid you'll need a dam sight more than anything to do with BS 7671 testing and inspection!! Above all, they will be looking for oil & gas experience in addition to any relevant qualifications you'll need. So what are you like at DC motors and controls, or MV prime generation, etc?? Lots of safety certificates to be obtained as well, if your talking off shore Rigs etc.... Think you need to start Googling to get up to speed as to what is expected/required in this working sector....

Is there not a 5 week course for it all?...
