How do i get qualified/ approved??!!

[fahro]

HI ALL, THIS IS MY FIRST EVERY FORUM POST!

SO FAR I HAVE ACHIEVED MY 2330 level 1 2 3 and 17th edition update..im self employed and work for a local maintenance team i have fair experience in the works but my qualification will only take me so far,, and so far im tired of changing "batterd and bruised" sockets and switches..


what courses do i have to do next ?,, im thinking of doing 2391 and applying to a "niceic"etc,, however, who ever i speak to keeps throwing in new numbers and letters which is all a load of confusing S@$%!...that includes my teachers at college...

so i ask you lot today what do i need exactly to be a domestic installer..full scope rewires the lot..

i dont want to be doing unnecessary courses as they are not cheap! and its all coming out of my own pocket!

many thanks to anyone that can help!

Give them a call direct.

I believe a test and inspect is required??? 2392 is the cheaper less involved

I think that this would be the only further required qualification......

As stated, give them a call and ask.

think youll find you have all you need for domestic installer

 

[fahro]

should i still go for the testing and inspection course?

2391 also maybe NVQ LV 3, if you look on ...the napit website they have the requirments

 

[apollo1979]

you need the test and inspection course to be approved look at elcsa,napit they are easier to get into with minimal requirements, with the test an inspection side you can get theses within 12 months of the onsite assesment

 

[fahro]

what sort of onsite assessment should i expect? will it just be a few questions or more "exams"

 

[flukey]

think you only need 2391/2 if you want to include pir.

if you just want to self cert you are fine as you are

 

[apollo1979]

I am not sure how varied it is, but normally just a couple of simple questions check paperwork ect sure someone else could add to this though best thing to do would be to have a look at them all give them a ring and see which suits you, there is full scope and another which allows or limits you to what you can do, but like i said the best thing would be to call them so you can ask them to explain so you get what you need.

give them a ring Monday you dont have anything to loose

you cant sign off without 2391/2392 you can test and complete the test sheets, also you wouldnt be able to join an approved scheme.

Are you by any chance an Niceic employee or just prone to wishful thinking ?

They are all easy to get into by the way
