Havent been able to find an answer to this online so thought I'd ask in here in case anyone can advise
Not strictly related to being a trainee, and will move this thread elsewhere if requested to.
I've now got 18th Edition, level 2 diploma and am embarking on level 3 diploma in september. Working with a local firm for coming on 2 years now, frequently completing jobs by myself (subsequently checked by a fully qualified spark). I am at a point where I feel confident enough to be looking for a bit of my own work on the side, to supplement my income. Only minor works jobs of course, I have liability insurance and will take out indemnity insurance as well if I start getting my own jobs. I'm registered self employed / sole trader and so it seems there isn't anything to stop me looking for my own jobs. I would never (knowingly) bite off more than I can chew, and have a mentor & colleagues to call upon should I find something I'm not sure about. But have now problem solved enough situations to consider my level of competence sufficient to safely complete simple stuff, like changing light fittings, adding a couple of sockets to an existing circuit or installing a PIR floodlight on an existing circuit. I know a few people who are less qualified than me who are already doing this kind of thing.
To that end, I have made up a flyer which I'm using to advertise in local shops etc. My question is, I would like to add the C&G logo to my flyer, given that I've got 18th Edition under my belt, this seems reasonable and fair. Is anyone aware of any restrictions about doing so? I could contact C&G directly to ask them I suppose, but thought I'd ask in here first in case there is a consensus about what can or can't be done. I have tried to find written confirmation about this from C&G but doesn't appear to be forthcoming.
Any feedback gratefully received
