Hi all just after some advice please basically I'm working for fire alarm company who is doing electrical repairs and breakdown for housing association and I'm the engineer for them only have 2330 2&3 and 17th edition also fair bit of domestic and commercial experience also a little industrial. Now my boss wants to become nic di so I can do installs and certify my work I'm studying for my 2394-95 yet to apply still but lack onsite testing experience from what I've read they want to see certain jobs in my case a ccu upgrade also testing certs for my jobs I install which I'm not doing with this company at the mo. Can I still register and if I can does that make me nic alone and not the company. Thank you to those who give my advice

I can't see why they wouldn't take your money

Drop them an email asking the question, they're really very helpful. Same goes for Elecsa (who are a bit cheaper). Can't comment on Napit as I've had no dealings with them

You would become the companies qualifying supervisor,it does not register you as such,unless you personally pay the money.insure yourself,own the books and have an assessment in your own name

The registration is for a competent enterprise only, not any individual,though the enterprise can be a one man band enterprise

Whichever of you or the company ends up being registered allows only the installation work of the registered to be self certifying

When registered, you or that company can become third part inspectors for non registered people /enterprises and to certify their work

They will also expect the installation work which they assess to have been carried out by the enterprise that they are assessing. So if this Company you are working for wishes to join then they cannot assess your own private work.

Thank you for your advice the problem I see is that this company does not do installs only changing like for like they wish to start doing installs that's why they want to join the nic they have no installation work to check or any pass testing certificate issued for work done am I right guessing that they will have problems joining??

As part of the on site assessment, they will have to show at least one major and one minor works installation
Also to have certification applicable for that installation and available for comparison of the test results which they would have obtained using their test meters, which will be proven satisfactory calibrated instruments

Without any work to show or calibrated instruments they may as well not bother applying

Thank you des 56 I'm fed up of doing the thinking for them I'll let them learn there lesson and waste there money they think that me as the engineer doing a cu change and testing it as my assessment will make them join nic as a di I tryed to tell them that they need to have certain installs with certs for nic to pick from and they not listening.
