NICEIC Domestic Installer assessement

[edclark46]

Hi,

Ive got my NICEIC Domestic Installer assessment coming up soon. Was wondering if anybody had any tips.... is there anything silly i need to watch out for that I can instantly fail on? Will they have a fit if i didn't put a circuit details by the D/B and with safe isolation would the prefer i pulled the main fuse or isolate main switch remove cover and lock off??

Thanks for any help.

Every spark should know about safe isolation, if they don't, well LOL don't bother getting an inspection, not sure about the merit of a Domestic Installer in my day we covered everything during our 5 year apprentiships, I know things have changed but safe isolation is a must, even for a muppet.

Safe isolation is one of the founding principals of this trade. If you don’t know the correct procedures you are not fit to practice you’re trade!

Thanks for useful feedback. I'd missed off my complaints procedure so ill be getting one of those in place. I know how to do safe isolation I had to demonstrate how to do it in my 2391 exam. I think Im just stressing over it because I don't want to be having a second visit for something silly.... like not having a complaints procedure!

I think, if its just a piece of paperwork that is missing ie calibration certificate, then this can be just faxed or emailed over to the scams office negating any extra charges.

Hi everyone I am new here.

I am about to get assessed as well and have been told by the NIC EIC that i have to get building control to test and inspect first. Some sparky's have told me this shouldn't be the case. One bloke at building control told me they don't need to come out and another bloke said they do. I am confused. I am fitting a new ccu and and a spur to the ring main.

Hi Breaker,

im new here, just come across your post and I have exactly the same question that you asked a year ago, just wanted to know if you had to go through building control or not and how the assessment went ?
