Hi everyone got my 1st assessment coming up with Stroma / a governing body just wondered if anyone had any tips with regards the whole process as I’d imagine I’m feeling the same way everyone else did when they and their 1st assessment! Any tips will be appreciated

Thanks

Make a cuppa and make sure the Cheque clears and it will be no hassle at all, a breeze in the park.

Examples would be:
1) Lightning Protection
2) Installation of cables outside zones (non bathroom)
3) Part M
4) Emergency Lighting
5) Non-Copper CPCs

None of the above is relatively difficult to either understand or follow; but I’m getting increasingly tired of so called “electricians” that know how to wire a socket, a light and maybe just maybe underfloor heating at a push. The basics of house bashing. Give them anything outside of this and they’re completely useless.

Hum......... wishful thinking

But seriously ALL sparks need a general understanding of the building regs

I think the schemes focus on the wrong things .................

That was interesting! Can't comment on whatever the experience of others was in their CPS assessment but I can say an initial interview with a Stroma was "challenging". Questions ranging from VR insulated cable to the 18th and everywhere between. Every document scutinised and decision questioned. A few non-comm's to address and, hopefully, it's a positive but nothing is certain yet. SO....Are Stroma setting a standard or are the others ticking boxes?
