New part p rules

[23dlp23]

Just got off the phone to elecsa and apparently after December 31 2011 you will need an nvq level 3 or equivalent to register on any part p scheme. Has anyone got any ideas what the equivalents might be ?
Think this is going to effect alot of people

There is got to be a loop hole here, I wonder if the schemes will now be the QS themselves?

They have an army of assessors who once a year re-assess us so would it be that much harder for them to now offer the Joe sparks a service of where they "counter sign off your work" for a price perhaps 25 pound a job or adopt another level of scope from 1. the kitchen fitter part scope 2 the QS service and 3 fully qualified.

Nail on head there malcolm, though from a discussion on another thread it's not a wholly bad idea as members are under constant scrutiny
