That is very interesting though how exactly a scheme is going to police who actually did the work will be interesting.

The testing, inspection and certification filling should be fairly straight forward for an assessor to prove. No matter who actually installed the installation the assessor can ask for proof on competancy by insisting that certain tests be carried out and be there while the person does it. Also he can ask for "dummy" certification to be completed as well, which later can be taken and destroyed.

As someone who as been through the assessed procedure for many years I'm sure the majority of assessors can tell within minutes if someone is competant, the same as many electricians can gauge who is a "good" or "bad" tradesman.

Funnily enough I posted here earlier how I worry where the industry is going. The Part P legislation is franky a joke, and the massive influx of poorly trained "electricians" is a real concern.

I hope that something is done, and the industry is handed back to people who will keep it in safe hands.

There is massive pressure on the assessors to allow people onto the register - that way, the Schemes have first dabs at the revenue from the training that these people never got in the first place .......

A licensing system will ONLY work if it is independent - the JIB is NOT.

Probably a bit late now but for you future reference you can get a product made by rawl plug called something like, fix and forget.

It's a kind of putty and once you mix it together you can put it into or behind a hole then redrill after it has set. It is fast setting.

Good luck with the assessment.
