Recently there's been a lot of talk about scheme registration,and the need to be a scheme member to do part P work,now while a lot of sparks disagree with the way that the schemes infer that the only sparks that do a good job are scheme members,which incidentally we know not to be the case as...
I don't know if anyone else is a staggered by some of the events on the main forum as I am. Some of those installs are utterly APPALLING. But what is really surprising to me is how ineffective the competent persons schemes have been.

When you first set out in the trade on your own, presumably not registered with anyone, did you start off on the Domestic Installer scheme or did you go straight into the Approved Contractor scheme?
I am...
