City and guilds 2392

[mitch0001]

hi, i have recently passed my city and guilds 2392 but i am unsure as to what it allows me to do. I am aware i can sign off my own work, but can i carry out periodic inspections etc? Also, would i need to be signed to an organisation such as nic eic, napit etc to issue certificates? Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forumAs far as i know,the 2392 only lets you do work on new builds.I don't think you would be able to periodic inspections with this cert,only the 2391.Maybe someone will come along and put me right.
C&G 2392-10

This qualification has been developed in conjunction with the electrical industry to provide less experienced candidates with an introduction of how to inspect and test (conduct the initial verification) of electrical installations before progressing onto the 2391-10 Level 3 Certificate in Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations.
This particular Electrical course is also suitable for practicing electricians who have not carried out inspection and testing since qualifying or who require some updated training before going onto achieve the City & Guilds 2391-10.
Testing and Inspection is often a difficult subject for even the most experienced of electricians. This 2392-10 Inspection and testing qualification, not only helps you to fully understand testing, it also provides you with a qualification and certificate to show you are competent to undertake the work. It's a very essential skill and qualification to have for anyone undertaking electrical installations.

This is a copy of a reply I made on a previous thread

PIRs are not restricted to anyone whether they be domestic/commercial/or industrial anyone can do them,but there are sometimes requirements by the client that restrict this work for obvious reasons

With PIRs you are giving an opinion on the standard of an installation
IF something nasty occured and there was fire/injury or death then you could find yourselves explaining your actions in a court
You would need insurance to justify your opinions
You would have to demonstrate competence in the relative field (the 2391 would go a long way to doing so)
Clients or most clients require that you be a member of an organistion NIC ECA NAPIT etc
THose organisations restrict the issuing of PIRS on their paperwork unless competence is demonstrated to them,

Again in a nutshell,you can do any electrical work as long as the client accepts your status, irrelevant of training qualification or competence
If you are registered restrictions are per their rules
