    Rented Sector Scheme

    Is the Rented Sector Scheme a legal requirement to carryout EICR's on rented properties. I can not see why there needs to be another scheme to carryout EICR on rentals when you are an Approved Contractor.

    I did a domestic installers course around 10 years ago (blimey time flies!). This is a level 2 qualification. I then registered with Stroma who fully accepted the course as being a sufficient qualification. All Stroma CPS members are now with Napit. I have had one assessment with Napit, they...
