Hi All,

long time member but short on posts :)

First of all, my current qualifications.

C&G 236 part 1,2 and C, 2391,2382,2377. my training was back in the good ole days from 1987 onwards.

I'm looking to enrole with one of the cash generator schemes to allow me to do domestic work outside of my normal job (maintenance / installation electrician - commercial). Would they accept my current qualifications or will I have to go and sit one of them NVQ courses? (not keen on the not very qualified courses but if thats the only option then so be it)

Thanks,

Steve.
 
Generally they should accept those qualifications as they are far higher than many who enroll, however the 2382 would likely need to be to the current edition of BS7671 and you would also need to have the current reference books (BS7671, OSG).
Essentially you have to be able to demonstrate that you are up to date on the current regs rather than the 15th Edition!

sorry, my bad, i trained at the end of the 15th, did my 16th update and did the 17th (2382?) in 2008 so i am 17th edition qualified i believe :)
 
If you are doing your own personal domestic work then Stroma is your best bet for cost, if you need to have a specific registration for council work or such like then some of the others may be better for you, they are more recognisable but a domestic customer would not know them, so long as you are Part P registered no problems.
