Isn´t the first year over 700 quid? Or more even? sure there was some kind of registration fee followed by the normal assessmant fee?

sound, one of the nic inspecters gives lectures at my local college and took me for the practical part of 2391 exam would be nice if he came to asses me on the testing and looking at my jobs.
If the first years fees are £700 or more can you pay installments?

NICEIC, the home of electrical contracting excellence - NICEIC Group It's all there!

 

[J@mes]

so £434 if you just want to be an installer, or £774 if you want to use their certs for PIR as well!

Is it just me, here, or do schemes like their "approved contractor" not just scream "Money maker" when all they ask for in a qualified supervisor are two five week wonder courses (within a year if you don't have them)? 2382 and 2391 (which I know is "harder").

I know they do field inspections, at least initially, but I'd have expected a lil more for a guy who's effectively running the job......

Did I miss something?
