[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 476235, member: 1408"] Anthonyleeds May I suggest you write out a CV outlining all your previous experience , contact one of the Part P schemes for an initial assessment . In the main , their criteria is to assess that you are competent to carry out domestic work , ( other types of work are not considered ) . As you will read on here , schemes only exist by recruiting members & cashing the cheque . Its not like being questioned by the police ..they want you as a member as much as you want them . So , comply with their other requirements , organize a couple of domestic jobs you can re-visit and attain the following :- 1) Copy of the EAWR ( Electricity at Work Regulations ) 2) Latest Regs . 3) Building Regs Approved Doc P 4) A Written Health & Safety policy. 5) Some risk assessment forms. 6) Produce some written quotes. 7) Suitable test instruments ( Insul / continuity / RCD / Loop imp ) 8) Calibration certs for the above. 9) Public Liability Insurance up to £2 million cover ( Not too expensive) (Don't mention welding / soldering . or gas torches )) If you're not doing industrial then you don't want 3 phase 415V either. By talking to you & asking questions they will assess your knowledge & competence .....general knowledge of Building Regs is good.... lets face it , if you look , act , talk & walk like a sparks ...then you must be a sparks. You need to show you have a working knowledge of the Regs , Special Locations etc . If you don't .....well you should to be honest . Start with Stroma as your scheme ( it doesn't have to be the NICEIC) Stroma are around half the cost of the others . They may want you to do the 17th or 18th edition course , I don't know ...but once you're in ....you're in . You probably have more experience than most of the Short Course guys .....go for it [/QUOTE]
