Which Electrical Body Are You With?

[Soulsurfer]

LABC do not get to choose. They must accept notifications from any DCLG approved Competent Person Scheme.

Do you think that would apply anywhere in UK then Taylor ? as in Jersey we get a lot of funny handshakes with these kind of authorities !

England and Wales, I believe.

Other colonies have their own arangements.

I wish Murdoch but spoke to LABC today and they only accept NAPIT OR NICEIC !

When you self certify via your scheme all labc get is your notification......

I'll call them again tomorrow then as they can't really argue it, last time my friends company who are NIC sent the notification to them, so if that's all they need then that should be fine. I want to get sorted but it's so expensive otherwise.

This is the link I had from the dept / LABC today so looks to me like if scheme provider is to certain ISO or UKAS standards then any body must be o.k. to be registered to ? https://www.gov.je/SiteCollectionDo...ye-laws2014 Approved Schemes 201401002 mm.pdf

I didn't know you were in Jersey. May be different rules there.
It might be helpful if you change your location in your profile. It just says UK at the moment.

Looking at Jersey Bye-Laws link, being a scheme member of Napit or Certsure is the way to go. They can install/certify everything from electrics to double glazing

Coming from the US I may have skewed your results by 1 as I entered none because I am basically retired but do return to the states to work sometimes. We have a Union that nationally represents a group of electrical workers but there are countless number of independent licensed and qualified electricians throughout the states. The Union is more about controlling labor in specific jurisdictions than any other aspect to do with electrical work.

All of those 'Professional bodies' are only interested in extracting lots of cash from us.

i was with elecsa but I'm looking to join stroma now as have heard good things, anybody with them now had good experiences with them?

I went with Stroma to save a couple of quid over the NICEIC fee, and it was a big mistake. My assessor was a nightmare, and just wanted to brag how great he was, and gave misleading information. I passed the assessment with no advice/recommendations so it's not sour grapes. I have no doubt they aren't all as bad as him.

The problem I had consistently throughout my year's membership was that the admin side of stroma were frankly useless. Time and time again I had to chase certs up with them which made me look like I was lying to my customers. They were even sending certs out that were so poorly printed which was a joke. I raised this this issue time and time again with a manager who just gave empty promises and did nothing to improve things.

So saving £2 to £3 a week joining Stroma was definitely false economy for me. I have never had an issue with any NICEIC assessors. One assessor I had just after part P came in was a bit of a jobs worth, but not full of himself like the Stroma assessor. I have also found the admin at the NICEIC to always be on the ball.
