Just got off the phone to the director of customer relations at Certsure, after a lengthy chat about membership criteria and her trying again to rope me into a meeting up at NIC HQ up in Dunstable, we got talking about Stroma and how the NIC and Elecsa go about justifying their rip off prices...
Im looking to join a Scheme and was thinking NIC was the best and most Recognised but am being told there are a handful to deal with vey expensive with regards to fees
My question is what is Difference between them all and who are the best? NIC v NAPIT v ELECSA
Just really want to be able to...
Does any one use Stroma Certification?
I'm with Elecsa and I find them great. But, I keep getting emails from stroma, they offer the same certification as the other companies plus free third party certification (not something I would do, so irrelevant to my situation) for £288 include...
hi guys is it possible to buy Elecsa certs over the counter or can you only get them off there website ? ran out of minor works certs and need them sharpish.
cheers
Hi Guys
I have an Elecsa assessment next Wednesday and was just looking for any advice/experience on what to expect.
I have worked as an electrician for a number of years but have only just set up as a sole trader, so I have not really completed major works yet and can't really take the...
Hi all,
finally became a member after reading as a guest for years.
Sent application to ELECSA yesterday, any one got any info on what to expect on my assessment ? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
More of a vent than a question. Reading the latest copy of professional electrician magazine earlier and seen an article from elecsa titled "one of the most common questions we get asked on the technical helpline is do i need rcd protection for...".
Now iv always known elect / nic etc standards...
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...
So I went to Elex @ Sandown Park this morning. Apart from replacing some tools, and sitting through Tony Cables "waffle" on the changes in the regs (fire proof CU's ARE going to make life interesting), I made the point of speaking to Napit and Stroma (I'm with Elecsa so there's no point in...
Hi all
Has anyone else had a email with a survey by Certsure ( NicEic and Elecsa ) about 3rd party Certification as was proposed in latest edition of PART P of the building regulations
I dont know if the link will work in here of if its allowed basically its asking for your opinions on it...
A friend of mine is starting up his own solar panel installation company. He has asked me to wire up the installs for him. I am not part P registered but am a time served maintenance electrician with 17th edition. I would like to get my part P in order to do this job and hopefully more. As I...
Hi all. Ive recently gone self employed and looking to get ELECSA but looking on website i need a site visit. Obviously as ive only just gone self employed i havent got many jobs at the moment. Do i really need to go ELECSA before doing any work in a bathroom, kitchen or outside? As this is...
Had my first Elecsa assessment this morning and have to say that my overnight panicking was totally uncalled for.
I was asked lots of questions most of which I was able to answer without referring to the guide/reference books and asked to do several tests at the CU.
All in all very happy with...
Hi, hope this is in the right place, sorry if not, I haven't used this site in a long time!
Just after a bit of advice, I've just paid for my Elecsa Part P registration and have been told that as I don't hold a testing and inspection qualification (yet, it's on the cards) that I will need to...
...and i'm a little apprehensive!
What are the hot questions they ask?
And on another note, can i IR a whole CU with rcd's, or would it be advisable to test separately?
Cheers.
morning chaps
if anybody is looking at leasing a van then its worth asking peugot about their current deal for members of elecsa or NIC.
i've been shopping around for a few weeks and over the whole term ive found it to be roughly £1000 cheaper then any where else (for a basic Peugeot expert...
Hi there I've being self employed now for nearly a year but I have just being sub-contracting, I've got alot of my own work coming on soon and I'm wanting to join elecsa so that I can sign it off. I've looked through their application form and tried searching on line about there assessment and...
