How qualified do I have to be to do electrical work legally?

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying a flat and renovating it. I'm a second year apprentice doing my 2330 L2, just wondering what excatly do I need before I can legally touch the electrics, without informing building control. + Can I test it and sign it off myself without having my 2391 or being a member of NICEIC etc. Sorry if it sounds stupid, people keep telling me I need this and that and others say you don't, so I just want someone to clarify the situation with this. Thanks in advance.

What if you've got 2392 for testing, inspection you can certify then.

Agree. Although you still need to join a scheme before you can self certify.

The 2391 is more geared towards PIRs etc. where as 2392 is new installations.
