Did half an EICR this morning, finishing it off tomorrow night.
I tried Napit Mobile for the first time. What an annoying counterintuitive process it is. Can't skip between different parts of the form. Filled in the origins section no problem, pressed submit, but then what? I don't know! Does...
I am having problems with the new software and wondered if perhaps a wiser head than mine can help me work around the problem
Basically the new software is rubbish and the NICEIC couldn't be less helpful and it took 3 phone calls for the relevant department to admit to their being a problem -...
I'm a gas engineer working for a well known retailer. Spend all day Installing cooking/laundry. Electrical training is pretty poor on their part. Here to educate myself in best practice/regs. Pretty sure much of what they ask us to do electrics wise is beyond our competency.
Morning all. Got my initial Stroma assessment coming up in a week or so. I’m guessing I’ll be verifying chosen circuits with dead & live tests. I’m tying myself up regarding my lighting circuit. The reason being, I’ve done all my loop in loop out etc at switch; this also includes extractor fan...
Hi all, I recently read a discussion in a different forum which was done about 2009 regarding the big 3 CPS I.e Nic, Napit and stroma.
Some were been praised to high heaven, while others were shredded to pieces to burning hell.
*I am wondering how and where this bodies are rated now after 10yrs...
I use my own MEIWC that I based on the NICEIC's version below:
Can someone confirm if the NICEIC are using the same certificate or if it has changed due to the 18th edition.
Also if it has changed, please could someone upload a scan on the newer version for me to use as a template.
thanks
Has anyone considered moving to Stroma, or have you already done so. I've had an email from NICEIC saying that they increased their prices. Therefore I am considering moving to Stroma. Also, Stroma say they do not have an issue with third party certs, as NICEIC told me that they do not allow it...
Afternoon all .. My Son has just bought a property in Scotland... it needs a new Consumer Unit and minor work .. I know there is No Part P as such but He’s been told I can’t certify my work up there due to not being part of the Scottish approved Contractors scheme .. is this correct, do I need...
Hi folks,
I am trying to decide on the best 18th cert software package. I would like something that has a bit more uumpph than the standard forms.
I have just downloaded the free trial of napit desktop and would appreciate any feedback from others - particularly any negatives.
So far I kinda...
I know they were updating stuff over this weekend, but was expecting to be able to create new 18th Edition certificates via the (free) app which doesn't appear to be the case...
This the case for everyone or am I missing something?
I'm looking to getting into the test and inspection route. And certification
I currently have 18th edition I did city & guilds level 2 / 3 I am a ecs card holder and have completed a pat testing course. What course's qualifications do I need to achieve this
Thanks in advance

hi, asking as a customer not a tradesman
Having had a rewire and had some issues with the electrician , namely his working standards and the fact the job took twice as long as estimated. I paid a third up front before work started, he then coerced a not agreed upon second payment out of me a...
Has anyone done the NICEIC online 18th full course I have to say I would have expected something a bit more, well more really its like steak pie full of sausages, more meat would be good, and getting booked onto a exam venue that does not involve a round trip of 100 miles would also help, but I...
Hi, when you guys do your EIC certs for a multi board installation do you complete one Particulars of install at origin and one schedule of items inspected for the whole install and do multiple schedule of test results for each board or do a complete a full 6 page cert for each sub board off the...
Had an electrician completed re-wire on my property but sent me a scanned copy of EIC. I was hoping I would receive a digital one via E-Cert with his details, etc. Can that be not done – he completes on e-Cert and I receive a copy as well to my email?
Also, I was on the impression that...
Just completed my first 18th edition certificate online
Took me about an hour to work my way through the new overly complicated forms
Lo and behold half of the fields are blank and none of the test results/circuit details have saved and are blank
Why the ---- are they continually trying to...
Had my annual visit today, passed so all good.
Discussed when exactly i was meant to have the 18th edition, he said that actually i didnt need to do the course as there is quite a long window.
As the NICEIC/Elecsa are allowing upto 2 years - yes 2 years for those already registered to get it as...
