Hi can anyone shed some light on this please, I retrained and have my domestic a part p , 17th regs& inspection & testing city & guilds qualifications, I would like to know so I have to belong to elecsa or niceic ? I understand that if I join these bodies it enables to self certify my own work, would it hinder me to take in work not belonging to either of these bodies .
Thanks

18 days which was very intense , but being an apprentice many moons ago helped !!

 

[Kd1]

Yes all work possible within the domestic area !!!

If you want to keep the right side of the regs and building regs then membership of a scheme does make sense.

Cheapest = Stroma at about £280

The rest are about £495

Suggest you contact them for their "entry" requirements.... and do a search on the forum for similar threads.... the business section has quite a few.....

 

[Kd1]

Thanks for the info very much appreciated

Please tell us what your "domestic a part p" is.

Part p is the new building regulations for electricial installations in domestic dwellings, certain areas in the house are branded special locations I.e bathrooms which must comply to building regulations ,

Part P is ten years old. You could of read the document yourself instead of paying for someone to basically read it to you.

so the rest of the house can be made of sand, as long as the bathroom doesn't collapse!.

8 hours a day, 18 days...
144 hours to be a "spark"

No wonder the trades in a bit of a mess

I'm a 52 year old, properly qualified electrician mate. I know all about the various regulations governing how we will do our jobs. What I wanted you to explain was what exactly your "domestic a part p" is because it's not a qualification I've ever heard of before.
If, as you say, it is a building regulation then how do you have it?

I must have been a proper slack bugger, it took me over 4 years.

And us older ones consider Trev is but a spring chicken as well

Can you get approved spark if you wave the smoke breaks ?

I'm glad they were not around in the past.I would have needed 1x5mins per hour smoke break and a little lie down for dinner


I thought they were stopping this "a qualified part p" and that any more of the virgin sparks needed one of those nvq things

I Suspect KD1 has completed a course like City & Guilds 2393.

The link provides info :stooge_curly: Hope it helps

 

[trev]

Good grief! Another worthless junk qualification. How the hell did the construction industry ever cope with all those poorly trained sparks which were churned out by the apprenticeship providers all those years ago.
I'm sorry but if you're not aware of how an electrical system can affect the building which houses it(without resorting to any of this nonsense) then you have no business messing about with it.

You should be a qualified electrician or a qualified individual in an allied trade. You should also be practicing your trade in England and Wales, as there are different regulations governing Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Available to deliver in the following:

• England
• Wales
• Scotland
• Northern Ireland

So all they offer the course here in Norn Iron, but it's no use in Norn Iron. Wonder what they class as an allied trade?

Building regs in Wales were married to those in England but they got divorced a few years back
example.Part p in Wales is in its original silliness, whereas in England they are not as stupid as us and have got shot of the majority of it

A lot of training providers promote 'part p courses' such as

Part P training courses for Domestic Electrical Installation

That's from one of our own sponsors.

It's not the fault of the OP that he has been misled, he's trying to get into the electrical industry and asking our advice.

There is a shortage of apprenticeships and training opportunities out there and I'm afraid this will be with us for a long time now or maybe forever.

I won’t say what most qualified electricians on here think of that shower.

 

[Kd1]

Why I you asking then, if your s "PROPER ELECtRICIAN" you should now!!!

 

[ian.settle1]

Quite hypocritical of you to post on here and support it then really.

Exactly, bunch of hypocrites some on here. They use the forum and then criticise the sponsor that gives them the platform to spout off from lol

 

[TJ Anderson]

You tell me !!!

If you want to carry out notifiable works then just register with a scheme such a NAPIT, NICEIC, ELECSA Etc plus required insurance.
