I'm a fully qualified electrician qualified under C&G 236 in 2003 (parts 1&2), I updated to 17th from 16th edition in 2009 and hold an up to date safety passport through the ECS.

The MyECS H&S test is in the bag; passed today so thought I'd offer this up and, hopefully, save someone a little stress.
