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.

no!...i have the feeling that the o/p may be looking towards becoming a QS for his employer.....2391 a realistic requirement if so......

Hes self employed so won't have an employer.

Sounds to me as though he just wants to become PART P registered to certify his own and the local maintainece team work off.

Apollo, you need to do your research mate. You don't need inspection and testing qual to get in a scheme. Napit are the strictest regarding this but its still **** poor because they give you a year to gain it and also have a micky mouse course called the NA2391 an open book rip off of the city & guilds 2391. Which I worked my backside of for. All you need is the 17th Edition (how to reference a book) and a stupid EAL domestic installer certificate (a qualification worth diddy and available after. 6weeks of being introduced into the game in a bay). They are all too easy to get in. My scheme have let some right donkeys in in the past month and I'm competing for the same work. Apparently it was meant to be an nvq3 to get in from january. Well still hasn't happened!

You don't even need that mate, just the 17th for now.

david your right,, all im after is to be able to sign of our work, i will not be doing commercial / industrial just yet so i think im gna go with the 2392 just to get started off,, and round my way it is extremley difficult to get on to a "gang of electricians anyway to gain any experience,,(east london that is)
