    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.

    Career Change

    Hi all, I am about to embark on distance learning whilst working my current full time job. Supposedly taking 2 years to complete to 'fully qualified'. At a cost of 10% of potential earnings. Which they say is £7,000. Is this a fair reflection? Is there still a shortage of electricians? Cheers.
