Getting back into electrics...

[Kingy11]

Hi, I was looking to get back into electrics after a few years out but the qualifications are confusing me a bit. The last time I did it it was 16th edition and I received 5 certificates:
Electrical installation theory part 1.
Level 1 certificate in electrical installation theory part 1 for basic installation practices and technology.
Level 3 certificate in electrical installation theory part 2 for electrical science and principles.
level 3 certificate in electrical installation theory part 2 for installation, commisioning and fault diagnosis.
level 3 certificate in electrical installation theory part 2 for assignments part 2.
I still remember a lot of it but will need to refresh myself on a few things. Do I just need to update to 17th edition and inspection and testing and I will still be qualified?

Or who would be the best people to speak to so i know what level I'm at?

Get your 17th & 2391 and you're sorted unless you want to be approved JIB which you would require NVQ3. All depends which line of work you want to do.

Hi, cheers for your reply.
I'm looking to do mainly domestic, hopefuly I can get some work with a firm for a few years to gain some good experience and eventually branch out on my own.
So I'll just need my 17th update and 2391 for now and down the line eventually go for my NVQ3?
