Wanting career change - advice needed!

Hi mate , you will need a multi function tester > 404 page not found: Metrel d.d./eurotest_family_multifunction_testers/

as for the on site assessment , this can be a fuse board change in your own home with the NIC


The Testing may take you a bit of time to pick up , my advice is to get your test kit, a testing guide/book/dvd , then make your own rig to work and practice testing on > get your self a sheet of ply and fix a fuse board , small ring main (4 skts) lighting circuit , cooker circuit ect then wire it all up , use a flex and plug to power the rig .


Here is what you need on top of your 17th edition and part p quals

• Public liability insurance cover
• Electrical reference documents (BS7671, Electricity at Work, On site guide etc)
• Test instruments and calibration records
• Electrical installation certificates for work carried out
• Complaints procedure and log
• Guarantee Insurance provider (not required on the day of the assessment as details can be provided at a later date)
• Risk Assessment procedure
• Health & Safety requirements
• Site Visit

its far from easy to become a spark in such a short space of time, it took me 5 years serving my time and i,m only just getting to grips with testing nearly 10 years on but am sure you will get there if you really put the effort in

Cheers
