UK Best route to get part p

[ForkEnigma]

Hi people noobie here.
OK Im a fully qualified JIB approved 2391 and 18th Edition. Fed up with the big sites, so going it alone. Seems I need part P, which whislt I grimmace at the thought of possibly more training that I dont need. It seems I must have it, and all these checkatrade type of sites insist on it!

OK so whats my best route to go please in 2020, things change over time, as I guess this has been asked many timers before.
Thanks

It always used to be "Take the highway that's the byway that's the best on Route 66".

Don't know why we keep having the same thing about Part P is just a document... So is BS7671... It's just a book, but you take an exam on it.

I have pinched this from another post which pretty much sums up Part P Certified...

Part P is just a document. It states two basic facts, which work is notifiable and that all work in dwellings must be carried out in accordance with Bs7671. If someone feels the need to do an expensive course to learn those two facts they clearly have money to burn or are extremely gullible. There is no such thing as Part P approved or certified, it is not an approval scheme, it's a document. There is such a thing as NICEIC....or NAPIT approved, they are approval schemes.

Yes part P is just a document, I agree. BS7671 is also just a document. We take an exam on that. Why are you not whinging about that and just Part P?

Lost count of the number of people that have just passed the latest BS7671 update who consider themselves to be qualified Electricians, there were loads in the department I used to work for. It's not just the Part P fiasco, seen their job application for electricians roles, what qualifications do you have "17th Edition" laughable.
The BS 7671 UPDATE is exactly that an update for practicing qualified Electricians

Bs7671 is a document containing thousands of regulations and a great deal of data which professionals will need to refer to constantly if they are to carry out compliant work . Electricians need to demonstrate a working knowledge and an ability to find information in a very complex document which is difficult to navigate for those unfamiliar with it .That's why there is a course and an examination.
Part P contains basically two bits of essential information. A course and exam for that? Do me a favour.

Is it time that electricians have a COP (Code of Practice) ?

Like BS7671 maybe?

Isn't there a C&G course for Part P ? 2393-10 ?? It's only 1 day, but there's an "exam" to pass too !!
All part of the modern OCS world me thinks...

Nope, a COP brings all the current regulations & recommendations together in a succinct format, similar to CP110 does/did for structural engineering.
