NIC Part P Assessment & The Building Control Authority

[Splext]

Hi Guys, sorry is this has already been asked or if its in the wrong place. Have only just joined today

I recently completed my quals and am looking to register with NIC so I can notify and certify my own work.

I am planning on them assessing me on a board change I am doing at my mums (which will be my first job).

I got told by my instructor before I finished the course, that I should contact Building Control telling them I will be doing the work, and they should just say; OK, and leave it to the NIC to sort out through my assessment.

When I contacted Building control, they are asking for £200 to have someone 'watch me do the change, and then certify my work, so they can send the certificate out'.

Is that how it has to be done? I was under the impression that because the NIC are coming to check it for my assessment, I can write out the Cert's and they will then notify through them and I only have to pay one sign up fee to NIC and nothing to Building Control.

I just loathe to pay more than I have to, seeing as this is my first Job (costs covered only) and I haven't had any income for a while now.

Hope this makes sense to anyone, and hope someone can help me.

Thanks in Advance

Marc

Isn't the domestic market racing rapidly towards a situation were you need to be in a scheme to get work ?

With the exception of chavs, druggies, cheapskates, those with learning diffs, and the vulnerable.
Most punters want to see some kind of logo and paperwork. Have I got that wrong ? I haven't a clue really - early days for me.:thinking:

The only reason we joined up was to ensure compliance with part P for the customers sake.
There the one's who might end up in poo poo without notifying.
As I remember its there home so there responsibility to ensure the work is carried out by a registered sparks or involve building control directly.
For us its a lot cheaper registering online, and you can pass the saving on to the customer.
Better than £200 a throw.

Blimey fresh out of a course, still wet behind the ears, never done a job before as changing his mums board will be his first and registering with a COMPETENT person scheme.

Why not go knocking on all your neighbours doors and ask them if they have heard of Part P, then search on the internet how many people have been prosecuted for failure to notify. I am almost certain you will find the answer to be in single figures.

As long as he’s competent to sign a cheque he’ll be free to wreak havoc. After all he’s got this place to answer his questions when he’s stuck.

What's happening about upping the qualifications required to join a scam anyway ?

Nothing, it would reduce their income.

The NAPIT third party certifier scheme is up and running to sign off others work under Part P. I have just been offered to pay £50 and have it added to my membership. Has anyone else been offered this? Apparently only NAPIT and Stroma at the moment.

Eh? Who gets the £50? You or them?

Read your post.

That will be a money spinner both ways, like pulling a rabbit out of the hat

You are so negative about our trade. Every post seems to be you moaning.

Any NAPIT members on here want to share the "rules and process" with us?

Without a doubt, part P is a licence for scheme providers to cash in, nothing more, nothing less.
As said its a cheaper option if you want to do things by the board for your customers if your covering a lot of notifiable work.
That's probably why the domestic market is such a sham nowadays.
More cowboys with so called registration and Electrical Trainee quals than I have ever seen in my entire working life.
Shame but true.

Reading on the Gov site, for entry routes for starters you need both level 3 cert in installations and level 3 cert in test & inspection
