Coming back in the game

ste18 · Dec 17, 2011

Hey guys,

Ive been out of the electrical game for 2 or 3 years now after me and my ex business partner decided to call it quits. I found another job in IT and software development so I have kind of lost touch.
I am wanting to start up again on my own, just doing bits and bobs around town nothing to major.
I have 16th edition qualifications. So am I correct in thinking that I need to go on a 17th edition refresher, and gain the 2391, to be able to do this in a domestic enviroment?

Cheers for any advice you can give me guys

You don't need the 2391, just the 17th to get registered

i believe u will find that a scam will ask for the 2391 within a year of registering.

Guess not sorry, worked with a sparks who was mad on Oxford town.

He was kind enough to give me a spare room whilst I was there. Lost my phone with his number on and lost contact.

Sorry for any confusion and hijack.

I think all the scam providers are asking for 2391 now.

You'll only need 2391 if you want to do Periodic Inspections (PIR/EICR) through a scam. You don't need it otherwise.

My NAPIT assessor said as of next year they it will be a requirement. He is new to the job though so may be incorrect.

They can all say what they want. They are more interested in your money, than any qualifications you may or may not have. None of the scam providers are going to turn down your £500 just cos you haven't got 2391 or whatever. they will put a loop hole in and say "Must be studying towards", but how long you study is up to you.

Cheers...........Howard
