Stroma's new installer portal

HappyHippyDad · Oct 6, 2019

I have just tried to notify a job through Stroma's new installer portal and it is saying I have insufficient 'web credit'.

I pay for my notifications by direct debit.

Do you now have to put some credit on your account before you can notify jobs?

Yes, and it's a minimum of £25.00 worth

Just another thought regarding this thread....

Do they take your annual assessment fees out of this web credit or do you pay that separately? The reason i ask is if you put £500 of credit on you get an extra £50 of credit, so it seems worth it if they use this for you assessment fees.

Of course! better earning interest in Stroma's (sorry, NAPIT's) bank than in yours! Having been a NAPIT member for ten years, I can see that this is the thin edge of the wedge. Keep an eye on this!! I wonder if some other organisation will start up for sparkies' accreditation with a realistic pricing structure and treating their subscribers as 'members' not cash-cows.
