UK Do I need to update my 18th edition for Amendment 2 ?

[Ventricular Fibrillation]

Got my 18th Ed certificate late last year, now doing 2391. Obviously Amendment 2 has come out since then, and I see these courses available to update your 18th accordingly.
But at what point would this be needed? I assume it's not a legal requirement. If I got my 2391 and NVQ in the next year and applied for a gold card, would my 18th cert be classed as not current unless I update it? Thanks.

No I don't know anything about those courses ...but I've been advised to stay away from the NICEIC as that one is an extortionate expense.

They aren't courses, they are schemes which you become a member of.

How do you notify jobs currently?

I've never known of this requirement for continuous professional development....where is all this information?

it is not a requirement, its for continued professional development. gaining more understanding of the trade you are practicing, helping to navigate and understand the regulations that all of us in the trade need to abide by to ensure our work is compliant.

Sorry I'm not quite understanding what you're asking ...what had electrical work got to do with building control....I'm not knocking anything down or building anything.

So where do I get all this information?

From your Scheme provider.

As I mentioned before, who are you signed up with? NICEIC, etc. How do you handle the notifiable jobs?

I'm not signed up with anyone...should I be?

I'm guessing you may not be up to date with requirements as far as notifiable jobs and Part P are concerned. I would have a Google search - easier than me trying to explain and thus confusing things!
