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.

I think we have all made our views clear on this.

Fair point. I'll leave it. No offence intended.

With no offence intended it sounds as though the OP has been somewhat living under a rock since about Jan 2005. Before that date the manner of working described was common.
There were even signs in the electrical aisle at B&Q about it when it changed so its astonishing if he genuinely has no knowledge of it.

Actually... I'm the OP, this thread was about whether it's worth doing the Amendment 2 if you already have 18th Ed, before it got taken over by a windup merchant.

I can confirm that I don't live under a rock and am aware of the requirements for notifiable work. Cheers!

I think it's always going to be of benefit if only to show towards being competent, especially if the worst happened, and you ended up in court.

Yup, I nearly missed that a few times!!

The person to whom the comments were directed, wasn't actually the OP, don't think I made the mistake , but might have.

I haven't re-certified on amd2 either.

I think we will be good until the 19th edition, which at the rate we get changes imposed, will be next week!

Agree, and I've now done the online Amendment 2 course, even though it was pretty steep at £90. I now have a certificate to prove that at least I tried to understand all that is required of me.

It is a matter of life and death after all.

Yes you're correct I am very confused....I suspect you may be a good deal higher on the electrical job scale than me and thus require these new qualifications...but thankyou for your help and advice

If your not joking then this scary that your out doing work in the world Brian.
