Niceic domestic installer question

[gavlar]

Hi ,

have a question about the niceic domestic installer scheme requirements.

When joining It it says that they require 1 years worth of installation certificates

How can you issue installation certificates if your not registered with scheme ?

Thanks

You don't need to be part of a scam to issue certs.

When the assessor arrives inform him you have just set up and that is why you don't have many to show them, you have issued a cert for the job you are showing him haven't you?

I think you are being mistaken! 2 notifiable jobs within the last 12 months!

Have you had your assessment yet?

Hi mate ,

thanks for the reply ,

well im in a security engineer , and in the evenings I did my , eal domestic installer , 17th edition , and 2392 inspection and testing , I bought a tester , and went out looking for work. I lacked some confidence with it all , as found it hard to carry out jobs for people as I was not registered with a scheme , and to do so , would need an accessor & and for the work to be signed off by a qualified electrician , all this I thought wouldn't of looked great to the customer I was working for , just not sure how they expect you to have a experience when your not registered etc .. Cheers

How do you think a assesment is going to make you confident to carry out works in peoples property, if you lack it now?

No a domestic installer is someone who comes on here asking how to wire a light up, has left the regs book on site, wanted to be a spark all their life but has kids etc and couldnt afford to do a proper education to be a spark, they are the ones who carry on even if told they are dangerous and will kill someone.

Well, Im glad it wasn't a waste of time for you. You seem to have a good sound knowledge of it all.

Hi dibb , I just read that anybody who is competent can issue mwc's and eic's ( plain template copy's) it would just meant notifying building control before hand , I would then keep hold of these copy's for when it comes to my own assessment . I know it would be pricey having building control notifying my works for a while .

What proves your competence in filling out a cert is understanding what you are filling out.
