    2391 expiry date

    I'm struggling to get a definitive answer: Does the City & Guilds 2391 have a 5 Year time limit, i.e. does it need retaking every 5 years? NAPIT says "Yes, it does" NICEIC - one Engineer said "No", one said "should do" another said "only if you do not regularly do PIR's" Please Help
