My short & sharp point about this:
"Competent Person",is mentioned a lot in BS7671,it will also get used in a court room regularly.A "Competent Person" according to British Standards "Is a person that is suitably qualified to undertake the task at hand",therefore if you do NOT have the relevant qualifications for Testing & Inspecting electrical installations,you are NOT Competent-Period.

this is another popular myth that you need to have academic qualifications to show competence,1 of the ways to prove you are competent is by having taking the relevant qualification but is not the only way,under the subject of required competence of test inspection personnel, Guidance note 3 states 'the inspector carrying out the inspection of any installation must,as appropriate have a sound knowledge and experince relevant to the nature of installation being tested and to the technical standards'. Many employers insist on you having 2391,but it is no way a legal requirement.
