This time next year there will likely be change to part pants that will encorage the use of third party testing,exactly what you ask for
The conclusion to that scenario is that many will jump the gun(if they are not already doing so)and sign off the work,(which is technically illegal)but who gives a hoot anyway,certainly not the local authorities gov or the scams
You could also do like most foriegn enterprises who do electrical work in England/Wales and register "yourself" as a competent enterprise,he could then become your Qualifying supervisor,who you can replace if you so wish and retain yuor registration
If you do enrol on one of the scams,you may chose the Niceic,because so many idiots in local government, insurances, landlords etc tend to think that its the assurance of a certain high standard,which it most certainly is not
In reality.its domestic installer scheme(especially)is no different to Napit or Elecsa, it is usually easier to join the Niceic because they require the very minimum permitted by the competent person scheme criteria (which nobody ever fails to achieve in any of them)
One advantage the Niceic will have,they use the qualified supervisor system,so once you have him registered as your QS,you can employ anyone,irrelevant of any skill,to do your electrical work (they may never have picked up a screwdriver in their lives,but that happens to be ok with that quality organisation)
Do you notice how the Niceic makes a mockery of this trade.using a system meant for large works and employing that system in the domestic sector
