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 :o but am sure you will get there if you really put the effort in

Cheers
