Hi i have just passed my NICEIC assessment.
process was:
1/ apply for assessment and send payment of £538.88
2/ wait for date of pre assessment visit from your are NICEIC Inspector.
3/ pre assessment is office based showing Inspector items such as qualifications, insurances etc he will then inform you of all items required on your assessment day
4/ wait for assessment day. you will need to show 5 jobs in total if like myslef mainly industrial /commercial he will want to see 1 domestic job. they will accept 1 job in progress(no circuits energised) and other 4 jobs they will require to see test certs and get you show explain /show them a selection of tests both live & dead.
It sounds painful but i found it easier then i thought it would be.
Now im NICEIC Approved Contractor, and going for NICEIC MCS
Hope this helps
Darren
