You could start by writing what you did, you will find that once you start the text will start to flow.

Thinking about it is the hard thing.

what you did
how you did it
method
piccies
blah blah


when you get your nvq3 you will wonder what the point of it is, as no competent person scheme will require you to have it. Unless you want to work on site for £10-£15 p/hr

Really? Think you will find your wrong. Sometime this year there changing it so you won't be able to join a scheme without your NVQ3. That way stopping all these domestic 'electricians'

Hey, you need to include the things mentioned above and basically go into things step by step. I tried to find if I had any on my PC from back in the day when I done mine and ive managed to find one! As it was a while back its not to current regulations so don't go stealing this and coping it directly as you will most probably fail ha. Good luck with your folder. Remember if you're claiming for 308(testing) you'll need to go into much deeper explaining it than I have here.


Brief: To 1st and 2nd fix a small office + Run a new supply to the board.
Task: To install a new supply to a consumer unit and also wire a small farm office
With 16 double Sockets, 3 fluorescent lights with a 1-way switch, 4 data points(cat 5), 2 BT
points.

When we first arrived onsite we carried out a risk assessment that could eliminate all hazards.
The only medium risks were heavy plant vehicles moving around site. The rest was low risks
Such as mud around the farm.

Before the job started (9th October) we had arrived at the farm to see the job and design and
Produce a safe system of work. We also spoke to the customer to see where he wanted the
Appliances such as sockets/data points. We then went away and produced our safe system of
Work.

Me and the Electrician then measured the height the customer wanted the sockets and pinged a
chalk-line on both walls so we could see the height of the sockets so their all the same height.
I then checked over my drill and made sure it was suitable for use before using it to drill through
Joists and noggins for my socket cable runs.

When it came to wiring the sockets in 2.5mm T.w.E it was all to BS7671, all cables and boxes were fixed using necessary fixings to the building fabric. The cables where clipped along joists
In a ring to serve each point then returning to the board. [PICTURE]

While the job was going on we maintained to keep checking the workplace noting if any
Changes had happened or if any new hazards had come up, to minimise the risk of an injury.

When I 1st fixed the lights in 1.0mmT.w.E all the wiring was in accordance to BS7671 and all
fixings were done using necessary fixings to the building fabrics. I measured the length of the
room in order to work out the spacing in between the 3 lights to make it look even.[PICTURE]

I then wired the CAT 5 around to 4 points, labelling each data cable for 2nd fix use.

We couldn’t wire for the BT point yet as the BT engineers hadn’t arrived and we didn’t know
The Point of where they were putting their masters.

Me and the Electrician than rolled out the SWA along the floor keeping it flat, I then climbed up
Into the roof and pulled it along the joists keeping into the eaves pulling it to the destination over
The other side of the building where the electrician then took hold of it and pushed it down the
Hole we had drilled where it would lead to the fuse board. I then clipped it back along the joists
Into the eaves so it wasn’t in the way if they wanted to board the roof.

After the owner of the property had got the relevant people in to board the office with
Plasterboard it was ready for us to come in to second fix.

The first thing we done upon arrival when we arrived on site was to fill out a new risk
assessment form because new risks/hazards could of come up.

I went around and stripped back all the PVC ready to terminate the cables into the sockets and
Switches. Using relevant sleeving for switches.

We then had to terminate the light fittings being a fluorescent type fitting, as this was requested from the customer.

Once everything was second fixed we done a full Test and inspect all to BS2391.
As this was a new installation we didn’t have to turn off any power which effected anyone, as it had its own board. But before we started the testing we did inform the owner of the property.

When Prepairing the Test record we had to fill in the Calibation number of the instrument to
Combine with NICEIC test sheets.
Whilst testing we were filling out a full NICEIC test record involving the following tests
R1+R2, Insulation Resistance, Polarity, Earth Loop Impendence, RCD test.

After we had finished testing we filed the test sheets away ready to be sent off to building control
Where they then get verified and sent onto the customer.
