    Part p

    Unfortunately it is the case! Shown them various EIC's & MWC's for the past year and they want it back further - proving difficult as I'm not exactly on good "speaking terms" with previous employer!

    Part p

    Will need various EIC's or MWC's dating back for 2 years (I've had to with Stroma) to prove your competence as well.

    CU Change

    Are these the same compact RCBO's that were in Professional Electrician a month or so ago...? Look a very smart bit of kit, am I right in saying they'll retrofit in most exiting CCU's?

    Combi drill and prices!?

    Bosch professional for me also, really rate the "coolpack" batteries over the basic ones as they tend to last an awful lot longer than most. I have the one as mentioned above which can occasionally struggle a little on the tougher of surfaces - thats when the 36v SDS comes into its own! Other...

    What do I need to be fully qualified!

    If you've got your level 3 certificates you will also need an NVQ & AM2 (part of the NVQ) for grading from the JIB as an electrician. Have a a look on the JIB website with regards to gradings as it gives detailed instructions as to what qualifications are required for each grading.

    Bag or box???

    Do you find the Veto tech XL's too big...? Was looking at the tech LC but think it maybe slightly too small to fit everything in!

    Stroma Certification Scheme How long for the assessment after booking with Stroma?

    Re: Storma Was told last week with my initial assessment that C&G 2394/5 (or equivalent) is required for commercial as well as EICR's but at no extra charge

    nvq

    Think it really depends on what each company stipulate, as stated above you can begin taking pictures etc whilst saving up for the NVQ. I'm doing mine with XS training which involves taking a shed load of pictures meeting different criteria, then essentially having a Skype with the assessor to...

    Thinking of ditching niceic

    Had my initial Stroma assessment today after considering which scheme to go for, seemed a no-brainer to go with them for £288 all in compared to others which were substantially higher! Have you gained any work through being a member via their website...? If not I'd lean towards going it alone...

    Stroma Certification Scheme Passed Stroma Assessment

    What sort of questions do they ask you on your assessment? I have mine in a couple of weeks!

    New Multi Function Tester

    Another vote for Megger 1720, good leads and pretty bulletproof. 1720 model features the auto RCD function which would save time on "large scale" sites if working alone!

    NVQ and Agency Work

    You don't have to complete an NVQ before taking the AM2, if you were to complete the AM2 before it would count towards the criteria needed for completion of the NVQ - worthwhile knowing if you're struggling for work...

    I'm buying a new van next month

    Owned a new Ford Transit Connect for about 18 months now and love it to bits. Really can't look past a Ford in terms of value for money & reliability - hasn't skipped a beat!

    Tips and tricks?

    If you're struggling hammering cable clips into a solid wall, drill a hole and bang in a red wall plug. Your cable clip will have a good fixing between the outer plug and wall itself and will cover the hole you've just drilled! Can save a lot of time and clips!

    New van

    Also got the new Transit Connect and love it, also wish I went for the Custom for the extra space! Have fitted racking down the drivers side of the rear, very happy with it and fits perfectly for £150 through eBay - New Connect 2014 SWB Binrack Van Racking Van storage Plywood Shelving | eBay

    Best place for tools on the internet.

    UK Tool Centre have very good prices for Knipex items, picked up some Cobra grips from them recently and they were the cheapest by far around!

    intruder alarm problems

    There will be another set of terminals labelled up as "tamper" on the PIR itself, just wondering whether the EOL terminals are your alarm contacts - therefore the alarm wouldn't activate until you removed the PIR lids... Sounds like either that or they may be programmed off of the system as you...

    intruder alarm problems

    When you say not sounding the alarm - can you see the LED on the PIR light up and not starting the entry/exit tone? Might be worthwhile to perform a walk test (if not done already) to confirm the zones are going active/healthy.
