    18th Edition, do I need it?

    Just had my NICEIC inspection and said I haven't done the course yet and do I need it. He said no hurry, sometime this year will do. Worth doing in case one of your customers ask if you have got it. Now it all seemed a bit vague as if they do not know if we must have it. What are your feelings?
