Probably none..

Although most schemes will want 2382 17th edition within 12 months of joining.

Give the schemes a ring... They're normally pretty helpful.

NICEIC - 0870 013 0382 (I have got the non premium number somewhere.. Will dig it out)
Elecsa - 0845 634 9043
NAPIT - 0845 543 0330

BSI - 08450 765600
I'm sure I read somewhere BSI is about £1500 all in... (Please correct if I'm wrong)

Hope this helps

He would be limited to Part P work alone via Napit and must have gained the 2382 within 12 months or he is a gonner.... Basically defined scope. He must pass their on-site assessment.

For Full scope membership. Either level 3 part 2, NVQ3 OR RECOGNISED APPRENTISHIP. Plus 2382 17th edition. To stay on full scope he must pass 2391 within 12 months...
