I am a 40 year old and want to re-train as an electrician but only work on domestic properties. I already have another business which runs itself and provides an income. I have no interest in working commercially or on building sites etc.
I am currently taking the 2365 level 2, then level 3 and I understand after that I should be looking to work as an electricians mate for little money (which is fine) to get my experience.
I think I understand about the 'notifiable work' situation and I am allowed to do all work on a property but will need to get local authority out to sign notifiable work off unless I join a CPS (which I can't do unless I get my NVQ+AM2 etc?). In the real world how does this work? Do I do a job for someone and say "You will need to pay a fee of £xyz and someone will come and sign it off?". Or do I add the money onto the job and say someone will come and sign it off? Does this mean a fully qualified electrician will be able to do the job cheaper as they can self sign?
Thanks
