A friend has a detached garage with a dedicated circuit for the garage light and an outside security light.

Just doing some certificates and noticed two minor works for one bathroom job. One for shower replacement with new switch, one for light and lv fan. Part P certs both exactly the same,'circuit alteration or addition in special location'. Do I need to send two? Just a thought rather than a prob...

I have done a socket addition on a ring circuit for my minor job for the assessment. The CU is a 16th edition board where downstairs & upstairs rings are on the RCD side and the light circuits aren’t protected by RCD. Would this work be suitable for the assessment and what kind of questions...
Hi people I had my niceic approved contractors assessment today and it went really well. The guy was spot on made me feel like he wasnt there to judge me and pick faults and just let me get on with things. Kept him sweet with brews and some nice dinner and cake! I have joined the approved scheme...
