Self employed qualifications

Kevin_m26 · Nov 17, 2020

Hi All,
This is my first post so go easy on me ?
I am an apprentice trained electrician with NVQ level 2/3, AM2 and 17th edition.
A short time after I qualified I chased the money into electrical maintenance so have predominantly worked on industrial electrics.
I am beginning to set up to go self employed and was looking for some help on my qualifications.
Are my qualifications worthy enough of a self employed experienced electrician?
Will I have to take - part P, 18th Ed and or test & inspect.
Will I have to join NICEIC/NAPIT?
Any other guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Kevin

contact the niceic or Napit and ask what they require for part p domestic installation

it varies from time to time but sooner or later you will need to be 18th

the NVQ & AM2 will cover your core competency with NAPIT, you'll need to take the 18th edition and may need the 2391 qual.

check out the following for a bit more info.

as long as the cheque clears, you'll be fine.
