Hi All,
I am looking to find out what I have to do to become a) a domestic electrician, b) Commercial electrician c) registered with a Competent persons scheme d) Part P registered. I am very confused and all advice is welcome.
I have the following qualifications:
> EAL Level 3 Diploma in Electro-Technical services (The equivalent of the C&G Installation course / progression from 2330)
> Level 2 City and guilds 2330
> Advanced Level Apprenticeship in Engineering Manufacture (Electrical and Electronic Engineering).
> EAL Level 3 Extended Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Testing Electrical Equipment).
I am booked for the following exams within the next month;
>2382 17th Edition Wiring regs.
>2392 Part P exam
I have been working as a Test Engineer testing Fire Safety and Security products over the last 4 years using Spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, IR testers, multimeters, etc. Would I really need to do the test and Inspect course? From what I can see in the regs and from peoples certificates all of the tests required are within my comfortable scope. I am also experienced in carrying out domestic electrical work as have been helping out mates etc for extra money over the past few years.
My questions are;
1) What other qualifications/experience do I need to become a practising domestic electrician?
2) From what I have seen on NICEIC and the likes, they require me to work for 12 months first before I talk about registration, does anybody know any 3rd Party Certification bodies around the Sussex and Surrey areas?
3) Any more advice or help for me is greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the extensive post,
Gratefully,
Mitch
