Well I'm enjoying it :smiley2:

Just contact any of the registration bodies.. Napit, Elecsa, NICEIC, Stroma etc and have a chat with them, they will tell you what they want from you with regards qualifications and also if what you have is sufficient.

I could write a page on what should be obtained and the criteria involved ,but given that the Councils (on the whole)had no interest in the Part P idea from the outset,they have even less now that the vast majority of its requirements have been ditched

Just get your tools out and crack on

Well first off you're NOT an Electrical Engineer, your only qualified to level 3, which is basically ''Approved Electrician'' or maybe Technician'' if experienced . Though you are working in, probably a high tech industrial position...

So why you would be wanting to enter the Domestic sector of this industry, is totally beyond my understanding. Do you actually believe that the grass is greener doing Domestic?? Do yourself a favour and USE the qualifications you have attained to date, to BETTER yourself, ...don't throw them down the bloody drain, with the half baked idea you presently have.

Remember, ....Being a complete idiot is easy!! lol!!

On that basis then;

First thing you need to do is check your employment T's & C's to see if your current employer will allow you;
a, to run another business whilst an employee
b, run an electrical business whilst an employee.

If that is what you were asking why didn't you state that in your OP?

All you need in this case is the 17th ed qual and a wad of cash to give to a scheme provider of your choice!!

Oh and if you're bothered, .....what snowhead has pointed out above, with regards to your present employers standing!!!
