Thanks for your reply. So to join nic/napit I will need 2391? I have full framework nvq Level 3, am2, gold card. Does this count as an equivalent do you know?There is no requirement to have it however if you are thinking of scheme membership they will want to see it or an equivalent.
You need to join a scheme to sign off your own work and there are two main types of membership Approved Contractor or Domestic Installer. You will need 2391 for Approved Contractor status but not for the Domestic Installer.Hi I'm a fully qualified gold card electrician thinking of starting my own business.

You need to join a scheme to sign off your own work
To clarify yes for Part P notifiable work, I had thought that was implied.You only need to join a scheme to self certify for the purposes of part P.
You can sign off, as in issue an electrical certificate, without any scheme membership.
very true indeed, absolutely agree, however a lot of businesses do like their sparks to be in a scheme, so Part P aside joining the NICEIC for example as an Approved contractor can be a useful thing to do, most Councils or public services insist on membership of a scheme, some companies will not touch a spark without membership, not all obviously.You only need to join a scheme to self certify for the purposes of part P.
