If you want the basic forms to fill out by hand you can download for free from the iet. These are the same forms they example in the red book and onsite guide. Probably the easiest format ones to fill in too, if you wanna keep it simple for an assessment

Welcome.
Just out of interest-why Napit? Never met anyone who isn't nic or elecsa

Possibly because they try to maintain electricians qualification levels high for domestic work(they require the 2391 for entry)
whereas the others have lower entry requirements (so less qualified people can be admitted)
It has this appeal for the well qualified

Napit also has at least twice as many members as Elecsa/ECA (domestic part p only ) but only a quarter of the Niceic domestic installer numbers,so a bit surprised by the quote

The napit certificates are available from their shop or you can buy any number of software for printable certificates off the web
Better still take the advise given and download and print the IEt certificates (cheaper and less bull included)

Didn't know that about napit. Just wondered, as round my area it seems to be almost exclusively nic and on this forum elecsa seems to be popular, only ever seen one van locally with a Napit sticker and they were builders. I joined the nic purely for the larger name/logo recognition, as that's what the public like to see. I would have thought that despite any kudos that went with napit registration, when it comes to notifications they're all just the same and the rest is just just advertising. We also do gas work and have maintained membership of corgi for the same reason of name recognition, we get far more work through them as with the gas safe register simply because of the association.
Sorry, know this is an electrical forum!!

Napit also do defined scope for plumbers builders kitchen fitters etc same as others to enable them to certify their limited scope
You are spot on regards the profile of the NICEIC
For anyone wishing to use a scheme to generate work the nic are more credible for that
Having said that,hardly anybody in the public domain have heard or know of any of the schemes or the part p requirements,so notification is the main benefit if any for the legitimate registered electrician who works small scale

we used to get inspected by Napit when doing B&Q Kitchens. The inspector was really nice and helpful, but some of the things they come up with were crazy, Like it wasn't acceptable to run trunking behind the kitchen units in case the cables were damaged during installation?????.......errr isn't that what trunkings for, protection?
