[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 73404, member: 250"] Hello zeff, welcome to the forum... The short answer to your question is NONE whatsoever!!! there is NO legal requirement to to have any specific qualifications at all. i.e. all you need to do is Inform the TAX man you are commencing self employment then try and get some customers who are willing to pay you to do some work! Any notifiable work you would have to pay the LABC to come out and test & certify for you! (Remember BS7671 is NONE statutory, it is just guidance for good practice, and a DIY bod can legally do what they like with their home electrics!!!) :o :( However... a more practical answer would be... If you want to provide a quality, professional, safe, fully tested & cover your own backside approach... May be good to get a level 3 qualification and once you got some experience under your belt get Inspection & testing. To self certify you work also get enrolled with one of the PartP scheme providers. Get some Public liability insurance (generally [/QUOTE]
