[daiplayer]

Do i need to hold my formal qualifications for 4 years before i can become NAPIT approved ?

 

[telectrix]

no, as long as you are competent and satisfy their criteria, you can apply now.

 

[daiplayer]

ah ok, just seen summat on their website. lol

 

[daiplayer]

It also says i need a level 3 qualification, i dont have these yet , ( only the 2391) ?

 

[Guest123]

They do require the 2391 or at least to have obtained it within 12 months of joining anyway.

No 4 year rule though.

That is a level 3 qualification

mate the 2391 is a lv3 qual as is 17th etc but if they mean technical cert or NVQ dont know ring them and ask them with the 2391 they ask you to have it in a year at napit I believe

They require 4 years post training experience, if you want to go for a LABC Approved Inspector on top of your Part P / Approved Electrician registration (plus another £25 of your best brown beers tokens

[brucelee]

[daiplayer]

Elecsa deosnt cover commercial etc,,,,,....do it ?

 

[GLENNSPARK]

elecsa dont but eca do.....elecsa is the domestic arm of the eca.....

 

[daiplayer]

Is there a route towards doing commercial / industrial through elecsa then ? ....or am i very confused / wrong about the regs for signing off industrial etc?

 

[GLENNSPARK]

ELECSA are a part p provider (which covers domestic and commercial installations). The ECA (electrical contractors association) are for the industrial installs but ELECSA are part of the ECA. To be accepted onto the competent persons scheme you will need to hold a formal cert such as the C&G 2382 (17th edition). They will expect that you sit the C&G2391 within a year but a stopgap is the C&G2392 (initial verefication isp and test) which will allow you to cert your own work (upto 100A single phase) so its up to whoever wants to join these schemes to decide what they want to do............
