Hi dear friends,

Firstly sorry my english skill if it's bad:)
I've a special condition and need some more information.

I've a company in my country (registered sub-contractor of GE, ABB, etc.) and provide automation engineering for high and medium voltage systems.
But for some reasons I moved to England 20 days ego, with self-employed visa. I'm electrical engineer - bachelor degree and opened a limited company here.

Due to the visa type it's not available to work for a company as an employee. Because of that it is difficult for me to find a job, so I try to find a way to start earning money as soon as earlier.

I can do electrical issues (changing sockets, lamps, etc.) in buildings. Bu I have some questions, because I don't want to do something wrong:

1- Is it legal for me to work in a building, for example changing sockets, etc ? I have to be certificated by Niceic or other companies?
If I need a certificate,
2- What do you advise me? I want to do some small works to meet my daily expenses.
3- How can i take a certificate (which lets me work legally) in cheap way and quickly?
4- Niceice says that they give certificate after a 3 days training in charge of 450, is that right or i misunderstood?

Thanks for your help and advices..
 
you can legally do work in the UK as long as you are competent. certain works in the domestic field are subject to part p, which is a building regulation. these basically involve :
new circuits; CU replacements; work in bathrooms; underfloor heating. smaller jobs apart from like for like replacements of accessories, require an EIC ( electrical installation certificate) or MWC (minor works certificate). samples of these can be found in BS7671, a copy of which (18th Edition) you need to buy. wholesalers stock duplicate pads of all the necessary certs.

I didn't realise underfloor heating was notifiable?
 
Thanks for reply.
So, Can you advise me any course to get this certificate?
I can start with MWC or EIC, but I'm new London its my 20th days also.
My location is North Finchley (Wood Green or other near locations are available for me)
