Good Software

NOT clever what certificate bundle do u use because i cant see a great deal of difference in the price.
And yes the nic version can send via pdf so whats your point there.
the support package is £59 which is dearer but u may have money to burn lol.

so all in all u probably save £35 to have a snide NIC cert ,

but hey if your company cant afford the extra then maybe improve your image and get better paying clients

Cheers Eddie. I'll give the NIC free 30 day trial a bash. Then hang up my tester & live off the winnings! (I wish).
Thanks for your help.

The NIC guy did suggest we by NIC software. As you stated. There after your dosh! He also went on about having to buy certificate numbers.Is that necesary? Currently I just paste in the the job log reference number isuued, by the NIC at £1.50 ago when logging part P jobs on the NIC web site.
The question is do you have to by the cert numbers to make it a pucka job?

Funny how he tells says great job and then slaps you down on certification that O by the way I can sell you ours its GREAT or in other words he to is becoming a part of the sales culture.

No wonder we are losing faith in the scheme providors I think the words i am looking for is Conflict of Interests

I use Easycert and find it good.
I have the SELECT logo on it and number my certs in a unique manner, I just use my own numbering system- not someone elses

IMO NIC guy shouldnt be making comment on your certs Unless they are something your wife made up as a spread sheet and its hard to follow
as for software Iv had a few different ones BEST by far was one the Testing manager with company had made up using EXCEL spread sheet BUT even then Iv found bits on other software that would improve it All the software people have their own wee quirks at work I use AMTECH but from what I gether this would be prohibitavly expensive for small companies

I use the NICEIC software and it is very poor I've been using electrical software for about 15 years and the only plus is that the NICEIC software uses is plain paper, Amtech is far superior you should be able to buy NICEIC CERT and use them as plain paper feed on any system not just theirs

I still hand write my certs and no issues from my AE, he is also happy with the forms from BS7671, so there seems to be some discontinuity here.
