i'm going to do my
IEE Regulations - 17th Edition (Full Course) City & Guilds 2382-10,
Inspection Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations City & Guilds 2391
Part P Building Regulations

Portable Appliance Testing City & Guilds 2377


I'm going self employed as a security engineer (as this is my trade 7yrs+) and also want to do Electrical work

what equipment will i need with regards to all the testing and certifying procedures, plus i want to make my business efficient as possible,

i've been looking at these so far.....

Megger 1553 inc powersuite onsite software

Megger 50m extension test lead

AVO Megger PAT 4dv/3 PAT Tester

Martindale Safety voltage indicator and proving unit

I have a Multimeter already, Just not exactly what other essentials i may need?

just wondering also if its worth carrying a laptop, printer etc...... with you at all times (as in just in case u need them)? or do you not use them that often when out and about in work?

so many deciding factors when starting out, it's one big headache :confused:

i need to find out total possible outlay for equipment for the purpose of my business plan etc.... for grants/loans applications etc....

plus i know you might think i'm being stupid here, but do i really need a van, as i would like to use it as a decent personal vehicle aswell, so would it be worth me getting a large estate car or people carrier...... as i think it projects a more professional image, plas having worked in the security trade most companies use estate cars for this reason....

any thoughts?

many thanks

Ashley
