Hi can someone that actually knows what they are talking about please tell me what qualifications i would need to start my own company and work for myself as i cant find this information out anywhere!

I have trained to be a sparky for 3 years and got my level 1 and 2, 2330, 16th edition, i know i need to do my 17th edition regs and 2391 test and inspect, but im not sure if i need my nvq level 3 as some people say i do need it and some say i dont.

I have worked for companies only as a temp and whenever i ask a sparky what do i actually need to make me a fully qualified electrician, their reply is only ever ' sorry mate i qualified years ago, i dont know what the requirements are these days, iv been to the college and asked them and one tutor will say something completely different to another, im getting sick to death of people bull****ting me, all i wanna do is suceed and earn doe lol.

Im fine as far as experience goes, i can do everything with total confidence but thats nothing without the qualifications, but i dont even know what qualifications i need, someone please help me.

Thanks, rob.
