I am qualified to C&G 236 1 and 2 from along time ago! I also meet the criteria for both elecsa and Napit Part P schemes but I am a little confused by the requirement to get an example of my work tested and...
I am currently employed full time with a medium sized contractor in glasgow, scotland and am aiming to go self employed at some point in the next year. However my 2 preferred trade associations want you to be trading 6 or 12 months before theyll sign you up. The question is how does that work...
Hi everyone,
I am planing to join Domestic Installer with NICEIC. And I am thinking to demonstrate my own home for assessment. I will change consumer unit and install a new light circuit and notify to building control via third party. I just wonder this is acceptable?

I’ve been offered a full rewire and consumer unit change, in the guidance note it says all notifyable work should be reported to building control or done by a person who is signed upto a competent person scheme. My aim is to sign upto a scheme eventually, I’ve done a domestic installer course...

Hi All,
I'm 26 year old, I currently work in hospitality in a managerial role, and I hate it. I've been wanting to get out for ages but unfortunately with having a mortgage and all sorts of bills to pay it`s quite difficult.

Anyone else had a delay joining Stroma. 5 weeks since my assessment ( passed) and nothing back from Stroma.
On contacting them I get fobbed off with “ there is a backlog “ story.

1975 saw me coming out of my time with British Steel Corporation as a full fledge sparky, over the next few years I found myself working on 432Kv and then in...
I was having a debate with my spark today about methods of joining above ground 3 core (E,L,N) 25mm SWA cable. We need to move the consumer unit and with it the meter tails (fused to 80A). This requires an extension of the tails as it is not possible to completely re-run them.
He said that the...
Hello -

On site today and heard the carpenter tell the site manager that all the sockets and switches on the joining wall (flat opposite side) will need to have fire prevention boxes built aroud them.

Hi all,
I'm attempting a repair on a comfort zone underfloor heating mat.

Alternatively how do people connect up the multitude of cat5 cores neatly...
