Hi,
Has anyone tried the newest version of the NICEIC Online certification?
I tried it after attending a local techtalk.
It was ok... but I found the first thing I did on it (an EICR) took me over 3 hours to process!
I cant decide whether this was because of user unfriendliness (form fill style...

Hi All,
NAPIT have today informed me that my Dad is not acceptable for full scope due to not having an NVQ Level 3. He has been industry assessed and has a Gold JIB Card, and the 17th Ed, and the 2391, but apparently this is not enough.
Has anyone else had this problem before, and is there a...
Hi Guys
I have an Elecsa assessment next Wednesday and was just looking for any advice/experience on what to expect.

Hi guys. I've recently moved from NAPIT to NICEIC I've just issued a cert. Now the circuit details are as follows.
Lighting, 6amp RCBO
Ze - 0.18
R1&R2 - 0.64
ZS - 0.82
Now by my understanding the max allowed ZS is 6.14 for the type of RCBO so I'm well within the allowed but on the generated...
Hi guys, I've recently taken the plunge to start out on my own and enjoy the world of being my own boss. I have recently registered with NIC and have my assessment in the next 6 weeks. I want to do my best and make sure I'm very prepared for any unusual (if any) questions I may be asked. I have...
Like no doubt many others, e.mails from the NIC are coming through thick and fast relating to the 3rd ammendment.
All these guys must sit around a table for hours working out what changes can be made to current regs, at cost to us sparks "of course" and even to the point of changing consumer...
Hi everyone,
As the title says does anyone else feel as if the Niceic sheets are not very commercial/industrial friendly? And generally not very user friendly...
Also it seems to me as I work with diferent Sparks on different jobs that they interpret different sections in different ways.

Hello to all you NAPIT members out there. Just thought id make a post with regards to NAPI's Desktop certification software.
Whats everyones opinions on it?
Personally Im unimpressed, I've been using it for a few months now and it just feels cheap and poorly thought out. Which is annoying when...
Is there much pref between, obviously full scope NIC has its prestige but its not worth the cash this year.
The website doesn't have the price for NIC domestic at the moment, but elecsa looks a tad cheaper than napit...
