NAPIT Certification Scheme To all napit members

[IQ Electrical]

I am full scope.but what other scopes are there ?

To be honest I am more at home with the terms electrician, electricians mate, and the other guy, the one who makes the tea

If you are with napit and not full scope what else is there ?
If there is scope, what is the difference between them ?

It's all here:

NAPIT - electrical

 

[Des 56]

Yes thats it,either an electrician or a non electrician
For electrician,they had the requirement for 2391,so to existing members, its always been there,excepting the recent changes ?

 

[Spudnik]

From what i understood, there will soon be a requirement for all NEW members to have, i think equiv, NVQ3 to join, regardless of scheme.

As linked to above - Defined Scope

not sure where the 2391 requirment comes from, first joined napit along with afriend about 5 years ago, only qualification my friend had was a one week di course he joined napit (full scope) and gained the 17th within his first 12 month and nothing else is required. even now after all this time try and get him to explain zs or something easier like current or volts and you will fall about laughing.

i remember a college lecturer moaning a few years ago because they had told him he had to re-take his 2391 as it was 10 years since he had done it. needless to say he was un happy as he was teaching it and did not take the prospect of having to re do it within 12 months of joining too kindly

NAPIT website seems a bit missleading to me . £2m of Public Liability Insurance
AND
5. Relevant Publications - BS7671:2001 which costs £49 and the On-Site Guide which costs £17 (both available from the IEE, Tel: 01438 767328). You will also need a Memorandum of Guidance on the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 which costs £4 from the HSE, Tel: 01787 881165, any other relevant publications covering any specific categories of work approvals required i.e. BS5839 for Fire Alarm Systems and if entry onto the CP register is required, the Approved Document for Part P which can be downloaded for free via the NAPIT website.

WTF BRB2001 ???

Napit along with all other bodies can go jump once this years membership ends im not rejoining, will carry on working and issuing test sheets and more than happy to go to court and prove competence there if (doubtfully) ever needed.

I know loads of sparks (good and bad) who have never bothered with pratp and are saving themselves costs and additional paperwork every year, the way i see it providing the work is done right and correct certs are issued by someone qualified to issue them then whats the worst they would do.

Couldn't agree with you more, its the fear of what people are told by these freeloaders what scares people into joining in the first instance.

Does anybody really believe that local authorities have the funding and time to send in building control to take someone to court who as issued a certificate showing their work complies with BS7671, it don't happen.

Its down to the consumer whether or not they wish to inform building control about work going on. With out full plans, people do what they like and these schemes want to get some of the action by way of £££ by regulation.

Why don't part p apply to commercial because all the other parts of the building regulations do? Rip Off Britain for you

 

[ezzzekiel]

although in pricipal its a great idea (along lines of corgi/gassafe) but it went a different way and is a pure money making racket for the scheme providers and allows the untrained to now pass themselves off as qualified.

 

[mogga]

QUALIFIED with out knowlage go get your PartP n off you go with your napit/NIC/Esca/Select badge on your van ffs even plumbers can have NIC on their wrecks

 

[tonys]

Don't forget, the small Builders are getting on the bandwagon as well, they like a logo.

British Gas will take all the good little earner rewires and leave all the crap stuff for the little part p merchant, then their have no-where to turn for work

Then in 4 years time when all the British Gas Apprentices start to get their JIB cards, the part p merchants will be completely finished
