What qualifications do you have?

I think you need test & inspect for the approved contractor but not domestic installer.

You need to be able to inspect and test to be regarded as a electrician, the scams dont make the rules competence and proving it does.

Napit will give you a years grace to get the quals, i think nic are the same, they basically just want your money

You don't need a test and inspect to join a scheme, the element in your part 3 suffices, why join NICEIC, join Stroma!

officially you need the testing quals, but with niceic/elecsa you can sit there own online knowledge exam when you apply with your books that is accepted by them as a suitable alternative!! not sure about NAPIT or stroma but they will basically bend over backwards to get you signed up!

They used to ask you to promise to do the test and inspect,within the year....and ask the same,at every renewal those in the know,could get around this,by merely crossing their fingers,whilst promising.

You do not need a separate test and inspect, your level 3 includes the necessary elements required under the Part P requirements.
