Assessed Jobs for NICEIC

Stevet67 · Mar 9, 2010

I plan in the near future to register with the NICEIC under their Part P Domestic Installer scheme.
To that end I need to be assessed on two installations. It is my plan to use some planned electrical work on my own house, plus a job for one other person as my assessed jobs.
Unfortunately I will only be able to register jobs through the NICEIC that are completed after I am registered with them.
Therefore I think I need to register these two jobs through building controls myself. This will add a lot of cost to the total cost of getting registered.

Does anyone know a way round this additional cost?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

I know a couple of sparkies who completed there assesment jobs close to the assesment date. Then on passing they registered through there newly joined competant persons scheme. One was NAPIT, the other NICEIC. I would put this to the NIC and see what they say. But I believe you will be ok.

I dont know of anyone (including myself) that has failed an NICEIC assessment for not notifying building control.

However follow the advice above and do your notifiable job close to the assessment date I did mine 10 days before assessment which gave me plenty of time to notify LABC had I failed.

I was in a simelar position a year or so ago I had to show the assessor some work but just going out on my own I had no work to show. I called Elecsa and they understood so I did my own consumer unit. Tested it using a downloadable test cert and that was it. Once he had been and viewed it I registered the job.

Hope this helps.

I am planing on doing the same with ELECSA, I spoke to my local building control and explained that I had all the relevant training. They confirmed that I would need to notify them first as if I was an unregistered contractor and then so long as it passed the ELECSA inspection I could regsiter it through them after.
