apm,
sorry to answer a question with a question but what are you trying to do? If you want to be self employed working on domestic properties that would require a different approach than if you wanted to work in the commercial sector for example. On the domestic front you would need to register for one of the Part P schemes, such as Elecsa, NICEIC or NAPIT. As far as I know ( domestic is not my thing) they would all require that you provided completed work that they could assess. You need to contact them and ask the specifics. The key issue is that you have to demonstrate that you are competent ( not qualified). City and Guilds provides the theoretical underpinning ( as in C&G 2330) but the other requirement to demonstrate competence is completed work. Your best hope is to find work alongside an electrician who is already registered, that will give you the work to show. If I were you I would ensure that you had this prior to embarking on the 2391. This is a Test and Inspection (essentially) qualification. Commercial work is a whole different situation and I won't go into it here because it is probably not what you want to do. So you need to find a work face and the best way to do that is to work alongside someone else. Good Luck and I would not let your age worry you but you do need experience.
