Elecsa registration

[armbands0]

Hi all, just to let you know, I passed my assessment today with Elecsa.

Nice chap, asked sensible questions and did not try to catch me out with trick questions.

Somewhat relieved, after 2 years of trying to get a job in the industry, I can now work for myself, just have to find the work.

Cheers for all your help leading up to today and I shall hope to pick your brains in the future and maybe contribute more.

Maybe starving by xmas

I would re check that information,It seems excessively high

i waqs led to belive that niceic was about £500 for first inspection and the first year??

Thank you all for the good wishes, I'll hopefully be picking your brains if I can get work.

Stumas; It was give or take £450, I maybe wrong but I thought the £500 NIC fee included the first year?

If it does not, see if what Elecsa can offer you suits your needs.

SparkDog and Solo2771
He asked sensible questions and no tricks. Things such as earting systems, need for RCD's, rooms with baths, fairground dodgems, chatted about building regs and what the recommended depth chasing should be and joist holes, max Zs for ads and why there are different figues in BRB and OSG, what labels to place on or near CU...mixed colours, periodic time, test RCD

Site visit was a good experience, he checked a random socket, checked CU, check radial circuit route, I had to show how I got the results on the forms, show I can measure Ze, EFLP impedance, test an RCD and a knowledge of IR values.

I have possibly missed some things out, looking at the list it sounds scarrier than it was.

Good luck with yours

Well done mate. I have got my fifth re assessment in November. They get easier by the year, and they are all good blokes to boot. So next year you will have no nerves.

Cheers.......Howard

My Elecsa (first) assessment and first year was about £475.00 and this was in June 2010.

Have fun - I must say that my assessor was constructive about the session - I did worry lots beforehand!

 

[Geffers]

can anyone tell me when you have done work to be assessed, whether you have to notify BC of the work or just do the work get assessed & then notify BC?
