trade test requirements??

[wllm_agnew]

Hi guys. Quick question for yous that I am having trouble getting an answer to. I am currently an apprentice maintenance electrician. I have been working now for 3 months and in the factory that I am working you are thrown in at the deep end so I am becoming multi-skilled fast. I was at college for 2 years and gained an svq level 2, NC, HNC and advanced certificate in electrical engineering. I much more prefer domestic electrical work and would much prefer to go into that side of things. I am wondering what are the requirements to sit your domestic trade test?? I was told that you do not need to complete an apprenticeship to sit it. If I could go and do my domestic trade test without having to pass my maintenance apprenticeship this would be great. but is this true??? I am currently studying for my wiring regulations and inspection and testing qualifications. Do any of them help my plans??? Can someone please help I cant seem to find anyone with the correct answer. Thanks Guys

Have you carried out much in the way of domestic installation

just the domestic wiring i did at the college switches, sockets, various lighting circuits etc. But if i needed to go and do a domestic NC Electrical then i would. What i want to know is what are the mandatory requirements you need to sit the domestic trade test?? I have a broad knowledge of electrical wiring and from what i have heard of the trade test i think i could give it a good shot at the moment. But with another 6 months practice if i was able to go and sit it with the qualifications i have then i would like to.


thanks again
