Well guys and girls, let's see who you are registered with.
There's been a few of these Sintra. http://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/threads/who-are-you-registered-with.109519/
From your thread HHD, not many people are registered, unless they just can't be arsed to vote
Very true Midwest.From your thread HHD, not many people are registered, unless they just can't be arsed to vote
Hopefully more will vote this time as it would be interesting to get a good picture of who is with who.
I clicked "none" because there was no option for "my wife's"... 
i'm stuck with this old worn out body that i've has for nearly 70 years. it was OK for a good few years, but like all tools, wear and tear takes it's toll. first the back and knees, then everything else going down the pan. can't even manage 100 press-ups without a smoke and beer break these days.

Considering there are just over 57 thousand registered members you would have thought that threads like this one would have more results. Maybe most people just can't be arsed voting....
Within the ranks of any of the above organisations.
I hit none. Mostly retired now, but was with NAPIT. Would still be with them if they had kept their "Just 8" scheme and Part P hadn't been so diluted.
Still doing a bit, but avoid large notifiable stuff. I know the local LABC guys and they'll accept a cert from me anyway.

Someone asked me if I was registered with checkatrade the other day, when I said no I don't advertise they said it isn't advertising it's too prove you have been checked out.
When I said I am on the competent persons register and I am inspected annually by the Niceic they just looked at me blank! Lol

This is the big problem, the Electrical industry is baffling even to us so when the customer is bombarded with advice from several bodies and websites trying to ensure you use there services then this what happens, I was asked if I was part P once to work in a factory on the machinery, I chuckled and explained, we need 1 non profit body to look over everyone like it used to be with the NICEIC before it turned into a profit based scheme provider.
Well those got added but it seemed pointless looking back now lol not a single vote between them!
With "Which? Trusted Traders" jumping on the bandwagon - claiming to represent "the best" - when they actually represent only anyone who will pay them money, and relying on the public (mis)perception that they are an independent champion of the people - it's a bit like them saying: "pay-up or we'll break yer legs!!!"
Parasites - the lot of them!

With NICEIC (d) since starting, but seriously thinking of switching to Stroma for the next year. I would have done it this year but the assessment crept up on me - again - so I'm with it for another year. Reason to move is partly to save a couple of £'00 a year, but also p*****d off the unnecessary marketing to its members - which they charge us for. And don't get me started on the prices in their online 'shop' ...
None, never was and won't be now as I jacked it in, in 2014 to look after the wife (and partly as there were too many contractors looking for too little work and it was a rapid race to the bottom, spent more time quoting fruitlessly and dealing with dingbats wanting everything yesterday for free than working)
Last 2 months though the house phone has been ringing every other day / everyday (try getting people to delist your number...near blooming impossible) with someone chasing a sparky. Seems more than a few have went back on the books, some others have got rumbled and probably work that was getting put off now needs done, not to mention landlords wanting to get stuff sorted for sale/tenant changeovers.
Will I go back to it...tempted but...going back to it, means grief from DWP (in terms of form filling for Carers Allowance) and a load of paperwork I don't want to get back into, not to mention chasing payments / muppets wanting to haggle the price down on completion / Public Sector parasites who consider any business "crooked" etc.
Methinks I'll stay as a carer...unless the phone starts ringing every other minute...then I might pick up the tools again...

Changed from Elecsa to Stroma at end of last year. No problems.
Just applied to renew. I've only done about 10 notifiable jobs in the last year. It's only just worth staying registered since they reduced the scope of notifiable work.

I still refuse to join a governing body. In my opinion it proves little to nothing about the quality and consistency of your work, they just want your money.
Too many so called tradesmen have got the badge on the van but are barely electricians. I let my work do the talking.
