I too did my 236 (proper exams not multi guess) i went with the nic,to be honest i think all the schemes are much of a muchness,as once said by a great welsh man you pays your money you takes your choice.:d

well i thought the 17th a joke,3 mins to answer questions/find them in a book??? how the heck does that make you any beter a sparky? a monkey could be trained to referance that,and the part p??? 3/4 of the people shouldnt have even been on it!!! noooo previous exp,1 even had had buisiness cards made up prior and failed 17th. SEND EM ALLBACK TO SCHOOL, 2 YEARS MINIMUM!!! ITS A MOCKERY MATE!

when i did my 236 i had to do 3 nights a week and hold down a shift work job on a maintenance team it was heavy going at times,then back for 16th ,then this part p came out ,then back for 17th and 2391 ,it seems never ending,sparks have taken a real bashing .

hi man, when you had your assesment with nic and they wanted two jobs did they want to see paperwork from local authourity building control ie did you involve building control on those jobs? save me £500 if i dont have to!!! paid niciec, gotta get back to them with 2 jobs...... nathan.

when i was getting my work ready for assesment (2 years ago) i played it by the book,it cost me £300 + to pay for my building regs applications and when the NIC guy came out he never even mentioned building control he was only interested in the cert i had issued for both jobs but you have to give the NIC the addresses of your site visit well in advance so maybe they check from there end before they come out i dont know what to advise you to do,it might save you five hundred smackers(seems steep)but it could cost you if the nic do check.good luck with it.

I did my Elecsa this friday and they did n't even mention Building Control.

According to there website NIC give you 12 months to comply so I'm sure he'll tell you if its a problem then you'll probably just have to send them proof..rather do it that way than fork out £500 up front.

I Really would n't worry about it...It would be a harsh assessor who fails you on that...there just want your jobs to comply to regs and ensure that you are up to standards regards testing and inspection...........Good Luck
