if planning control are involved ( e.g. the kitchen is an extension ) then you should only need to give them a copy of the cert. you don't need to be in a scam. they'd probably need a copy of you quals. 17th etc.

I've never tested that with my LBC, although I've heard others here suggesting that's what they do, being on a one to one with a building inspector.

Just doesn't fit with the examples given in sec 3.1 Part P.
 
Hold your horses there, I have recently heard otherwise. (or at least that is what it is being called)

What certs do you have @Fitzy ?

I’ve just completed City & Guilds 2393 Part P, 2392-10 Inspecting & Testing and 2382-15 17th Edition Wiring Regs, I’m now on the looooong learning curve of gaining experience, hence why I’m only going to be doing small jobs to start with, not gonna run before I can walk. Obviously I’m gonna need some big jobs for my assessment to join one of the schemes. I suppose at first I’m gonna have to take the hit on the BC fees as you can’t pass these on to the customers, that’s why I thought my nieces partner would come inhandy if he’s already paid the BC fees on the whole job.

Schemes don't require 'big jobs' for a domestic installer. I would echo the advice of working with others to start. I came back into the industry after a 30 year break. I subbied to another contractor for a year or so, before I felt comfortable to work on my own.

You might wanna check out the price of those fees, they are not cheap.

I checked the BC fees where I live in the Reigate & Banstead area and electrical work is £306 plus VAT.....OUCH!!! That’s more than what I’ve seen other sparkies charging for a complete CU change.....
 
By the way, thanks for the replies and warm welcome. :) :) :)
 
You could see if you could assist your > nieces > partners > electrician (if you see what I'm saying), when doing his/hers refurbishments & building work, in the short term.

Then when you have become more competent or comfortable, you can do the electricians legs in, and do all the work yourself. :)
 
first thing would be to check with BC to see if they will accept your quals. and cert. without the need for them to charge their exorbitant fee. if they will, then you're home free. ( as regards your niece's job).

Fitzy, someone posted this before;
Electrician Competence Recognition - The IET - https://www.------.org/policy/collaboration/sa4e/index.cfm?
Duno if it would help?
 
Well when you consider, I hadn't done any testing in 30 years, and my last testing device was a bell & battery, it was pretty new to me :)

The course I was on, quite a few years ago, two guys failed it. They worked in the business but just didn't like tests.. Pity really.
