C&G 2393 this qualification is to enable practising electricians, operating in dwellings, to gain an understanding of how their electrical installations must comply with all relevant building regulations. You will be able to self-certify the installations once accepted by the scheme provider. Please correct me if i am wrong. thanks.

Part P Eaxam ????? Part P is Building Regs and you are assessed for competence by a governing body i.e. elecsa / niceic / napit

I am taking it you are not a qualified electrician and don't have an underlying qualification - are you thinking of getting 2382 - 17th edition and then registering - you will be asked questions around your competence and if you cannot demonstrate competence on assessment you will not be giving Part P Status therefore not being able to sign your work off

Forgive me if you are qualified however from the way you post it appears not

Please read this thread Part P

the 2393 exam is not just part p its all the building regs and is taken from the book electricians guide to the building regs i did this exam last year
but you will have to register with a governing body and have a very good understanding of the regs they say you dont need to have the 17th, C&G 2382 when registering you will be assesed on the knowledge of the regs so it would be better to have 2382 first you will only be able to sign of your own work when youve registered and been assessed and accepted as competent

The crowds offering a 'Part P' course are bigger rip off merchant than the scheme providers themselves.

Some of the courses make it sound that when you have completed their course on 'Part P' the you're good to go self certifying.

 

[davejp]

out of curiosity, for the assessment, do you have to remember the regulation numbers, or would just remembering what the regs state should be done suffice?...

for example.

I don't know the number of the reglation that states that all bathroom circuits need RCD protection, but i know the protection is needed... is this acceptable?

 

[BluSparx]

On the assesment you can refer to your Regs book and OSG - this then demonstrates you know your way around the book - we are all good but would never remember all them regs

yeah mate
i know i am one of them they do make it sound a quicker process of becoming a electrician but leave all the bits out about jib only classing you as jib if you have 2330 and 2356
I did enjoy the course i attended as i finally achieved some qualifications but for a substantial amount of money for 6 week training inc C&G 2382-10, 2377, 2393, and logic part p full level A and defined scope levels,B,C Awards
I must admit i learned a great deal more about the theory side of things than i did as a apprentice electrician at 16 which i gave up partly because i felt i wasnt learning enough, but some of that was down to me

I tried many times over the years after giving up my apprenticeship over to get a apprentice type course but was always told i was to old and there was no help with training and i have been in and out of electrics including new build,rewires some commercial and a little industrial this quick rip off course was the only option left and at great expense to my family and I

be careful as they just want your money ad usually lots i spet three years looking into them before giving them my cash of £4020 for this i got the above quals and a megger 1552, BS7671 ,OSG CK toolkit and 6 week training

dont just go for the first scam merchant look into all thats required and what you want to achieve from it if you are young then the 2330 route would be best but if time and family commitments a issue then maybe only route is a rip off course like me

this is in reply to Amp david and hopefully some help to dave jp

nail on head

thx brucelee,

commitments and money have limited me to the "rip off" courses and shall be enrolling later in the year/early next year.

i'm starting on domestic and once i get a bit of money behind me i'll go for commercial (taking account of the lack of experience hurdle)

[Mark_Burgess]

You can do your "17th" any time you can get booked in to do it, as its all about knowing some of and where to find the relevant information the the regs book.
You really need some tutoring on the regs as where to find the information and indexing of the chapters in the book to aid finding the info efficiently.
