I think everyone gets that to a certain degree -Another thing that annoys me while working through the company is when customers ask "have you got Part P". They've obviously read about it in the paper and heard it on the news and think this is all you need. When I say I've been doing it 18yrs now, fully timed served and hold this, this and that, they don't know what I'm on about.
I'd be a little concerned if someone was re wiring my house and the only qualification they did have was Part P.
You can download part P here:

"Have you got part P?"
"Yes."
Sorted.
I think everyone gets that to a certain degree -
"What qualifications have you got?"
"Well I've got 2330, 2382, 2391..."
"That's just numbers to me - what ACTUAL QUALIFICATIONS have you got?"
I suppose that's where it's handy to have a gold card. People seem to understand 'gold'.
It depends on your area I think, some councils need you to be a certifier of construction.Fortunately we don't have Part P here north of Hadrian's Wall. But you've been given good advice about PL insurance (and indemnity insurance if you are doing EICRs). You don't have to be a member of a scheme for your certs to be 100% acceptable, but here if you want to do work which is subject to Building Warrant, you either have to be a scheme member or pre-notify for the Council to arrange certification (the former is by far the best route financially if you are going to be doing just a few warrant jobs).
As has been said, HMRC are now much more proactive with small traders and cash in hand (and football clubs!), so in my view better to declare income and expenses than face a tax investigation.
