Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forum. I have scoured lots of different forums and postings but for some reason cannot find a simple step by step guide to what is need for self certifying a domestic installation. I am not planning to become a full time electrician. What I want to do is wire up a consumer unit install lighting circuits etc and then issue a certificate.

Please tell me if I am missing something here:

Step 1: Do a VRQ Level 2 course which makes you "a competent installer"
Step 2: Do City & Guilds 2382 17th Edition course and exam.
Step 3: Register with a body such as NAPIT so that you can self-certify work

Now I understand with these schemes such as NAPIT or NICEIC they need to inspect 2 installations that you have done before you are properly joined but how can you do an installation in the first place if you cannot self-certify?

Of course I know that these short courses cannot compare to getting years of experience as an apprentice but to me domestic is not overly complex.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
