hello am new to this forum so hello everyone.
i am seeking advice to do with new regulations and what i require and can i carry out work.
Bit background, on leaving school i spent year at techinical college starting engineering apprentischip, first semster was spent doing fitting skills, lave work, welding sheet metal work and electrical wiring.
after first semseter was required to specalise, i specalsied in electrical which included domestic wiring of lights, sockets, cooker, spur sockets, and shower fitting this was done in twin earth, two wiring techinques were used one with junction boxs, and one without (just ceiling roses).
sockets were both done as ring main and radail circuits.
final test was given floor plan of house and asked to design, re wire, and calculate cable sizes, and cheapest possible plan draw design up with all calculations. Then wire equipment up as required and test all the circuits in line with 16 the edition.
all this was repeated with pyro, plastic conduit, tray work and trunking.
EITB skill sheets were obtained and certificated where EITB.
after this landed job on railway as apprentice, installed lights in stations and sockets and other work involving maintenance work.
then speaclised as lift engineer for three years, and did year in office designing and planning small lighting and socket circuits for new build stations.
so i obtained 16th edition, EITB certifictes in installation and maintenace.
my question is this was 15 years ago now, my sister has house that needs re wiring before she can rent it out, she has asked me to do this which i know how to do, but what would i need to qualification wise to carry out the work or is not possiblel for me to do this work as my qualifications are out date.
i also have btec onc hnc in electrical and electronic engineering and degree in same subject.
