The short answer is no, but you'll be asked a few building reg's questions on your technical assessment

 

[telectrix]

no . to self certify your work, you need to join elecsa or napit. there is another body but the name escapes me. they asses a major job and a minor and you pay them oodles of dosh.

Coateskid, I think I know the course you are talking about. The EAL Level 2 for Domestic Electrical Installers? If you got it for free then thats great. Any education is great, free education is even greater.

Without understanding a couple of parts of the 'Electricians Guide to the Building Regulations' you will not pass that exam.

To pass the EAL exam you MUST understand Table 1 and Table 2 on page 21, as well as the additional notes on page 22 and page 23. You also need to understand ALL of chapter 10.





Please don't slate me for offering this info guys, yes Part P has chaos spread all around it, however, Coateskid was asking a simple question and I hope I have typed the simple answer.

All the best.

"you need to join elecsa or napit. there is another body but the name escapes me" LOL
Why do people feel this way?

This sounds a right load of bollox. Part p exam! never heard of one, and there is no need for one. Part P is just the part of the building regs that covers electrical installation in dwellings. Just like Part A covers whatever it covers and so on to Part P. I have never heard of a builder who has had to take an examination on part whatever it is that covers drains! so why is part P loked upon any differently.

If you need to know anything about any part of the building regulations, then just google the relevant part and download it. If you need something clarifying, then ring up the local planning dept, and ask.

I wish i had thought of a Part P exam first, i could have made a fortune.

Thanks to the useful link provided by Des56 all has become clear. It's like a mock driving test that you pay £30+ vat before you get assessed. Wow, if anyone is interested in getting a mick mouse certificate which dose not mean a thing towards being assessed in part of a scheme provider please feel free to send the forum you money and we will happy give you a pass with distinction because it means nothing in the real world..... Ok, if your going to be assessed just revise. No need to go through a course and an exam and please never, never never say you are part p qualified because your not.

no exam for me!! what a crock of ****!!

part p is split up into 9 units, if you are a qualified electrician then you have to do unit 1 only which is an on-line exam multi choice, if you are not an electrician then you have to do all 9 units (1 on-line exam and 8 paper exams) as well as some practical units.The 8 paper exams are designed to test your electrical knowledge, the on-line exam test your knowledge of the building regs, online exam has 20 Q, 4 on building regs, 8 on part p, 8 on other approved documents need 14 to pass.

Part P is one of numerous Building Regs as is Part A, B, C etc not qualifications

This is your bank, may I have your account number, sort code and secret information please!!

How true that is, change from the email scam

I assume you are speaking about the C&G 2393-10 City & Guilds Level 3 Certificate in the Building Regulations for Electrical Installations in Dwellings which covers the items within Part P a qualification that is worthwhile for any electrician so they understand the impact of their works on building structure. Have passed this exam myself surprising how many electricians out there who have been in the industry for years fail it!

 

[IQ Electrical]

Mmm, I'll probably just struggle on without it...

This one day course is suitable for domestic electricians with several years experience pursuing Part P registration.


The general requirements of the Building Regulations in relation to electrical installations to dwellings Inc:

1. Scope, Purpose and Structure of the Building Regulations
2. Understand notifiable and non-notifable types of building work
3. Identify relevant Approved Documents
4. Indentify the role of Building Control Services

Methods of Compliance with the 6 Parts of the Building Regulations most relevant to electrical installations in dwellings.

There we have it then,this is the part p exam that makes the training providors a few bob convincing some trainees that it makes a spark out of them



Oh if any of you are seduced by the description
Its a 1 day course at the very reasonable price of £ 180

It is a document, nothing else

Its also only a GUIDE. Installations need not adhere to it at all. You could carry out an installation to say PORTUGUESE or FRENCH standards and still be within EU laws.
