Stroma always were going to struggle without significant capital as they were competing against certsure with the brand and dominance of NICEIC plus elecsa. to take on members so cheaply then provide the it support for certs and assessments would have been expensive. to compete and survive it makes sense for them to partner with NAPIT, i wouldnt be surprised if over time stroma does the part p and napit is all scopes. time will tell.
 
I had better check up then as I paid my bill for re assessment and they haven’t been in contact yet. So a phone call to them tomorrow methinks.
 
Received an email from Stroma on 1st August stating:
"As of Wednesday 31 July 2019, your existing certification will be transferred to a new legal entity: Stroma Installer Certification Ltd.

Why is your certification being transferred to a new company?
The scheme transfer is being done for strategic reasons to separate the activities of Stroma Certification (which handles our energy assessor business) and Stroma Installer Certification (which handles our installer business)."

This will presumably make it easy for Stroma to sell off this part of their business, if they haven't yet actually done so.

Yep they rang me today to inform me they were in Co-hoots. Don't know how I feel about this, having had a crap time with Napit in the past and moving to elecsa as a result then to Stroma for the past 4 years! What are other members thoughts on the transition? I can't believe that rates will stay the same for a start. Another bloody monopoly!!
 
Would also like to see more info on that!

Although I know Stroma were accepting people who hadn't even passed their AM2 a few years ago...on the premise that they get it done asap. Would a lunch of bunts.

It doesn't say the electrical scheme is included in this route.



There are several schemes that accept the Experienced Worker Route based on verifiable experience, including the plumbing, heating, ventilation and Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).
