do i need my part P certificate or not then ?

No such thing as a Part P certificate. Part P is a building regulation not a qualification.
If you wish to self certify domestic work then you need to join one of the self certification scheme providers like Elecsa, NIC etc etc. By doing this you have proved your competence and meet the required standard to be allowed to sign off your own work without the need to inform LABC and pay them a fee up front for them to do it for you.

When you join a scheme provider you will get a certificate which states that "Blah Blah Blah electrical has been assesed etc and is a competent Part P self certifying company" or words to that effect.

So am i part P qualified ? because most jobs are asking to be part P qualified

no you are not part p qualified. the word within the industry is competent, experience plus quals = competent, part p is a building regulation. if you joined a scheme you would as sirkit said get a slip to say you have etc. if you did not join scheme you would still have your exp and quals whatever they may be. there are courses offering courses but if you have the right quals ect you may be able to join the nic napit elecsa eca etc. give them a ring and have a chat i am sure they will enlighten you. so in a word you are not part p qualified as this is not relevent, you are qualified to whatever tech certs you have gained through the 2330.

head brickwall

theres no accounting for agency idiots

some companys (or agencys) are asking for 'part p' which in there idiotic language means scheme registered niceic napit etc so you can sign of your own work

i have seen agencys ask for it but they are generally referring to domestic installers which your quals out shine by a long way

so to answer your question NO you shouldnt need to be but you may have to explain to idiot agency staff the difference

Like the last posts have said part p is the building regs what you have been doing is an electricians course that covers the latest regs the 17th edition.To enable you to self certify your domestic work you have to join one of the schemes then will be assessed by one of the inspectors whether you are competent hope this clears any issues.

Perhaps you missed this post and the link provided
Worth reading

The thead posted by Durham a while back is probably the most simplified way of explaining all the part P jargon.

If someone reads it and sill doesn't know what the next step, god help us all!
