Will do. 

OK thank you everyone. I do consider myself competent for minor works but like everyone there is always something more to  learn.  Thanks Special Location for the comprehensive answer.  Thanks Doc H. 

Hi all, what qualifications are needed to be a Maintenance Domestic Electrician? If seems logical from what I have researched that any maintenance would be classed as Minor Works as no new circuits are being added, just the old ones fixed or units swapped like for like.  Or occasionally just...

Yes I understand that. None of that will be a problem. My question is about which inspect and test course to go on. Is the  City & Guilds 2392-10 inspection and testing course adequate as I believe it does not include 3 phase which is not needed for domestic. 

Thanks for the reply Murdoch and Fleeting.  Yes I intend to do it by the book, will get the 18th and the correct testing course. My question is the Level 2 which I believe is domestic only good enough?  I don't see any reason why I would need 3 phase testing skills.  Unfortunately they seem...

Morning all, I want to set up as a domestic installer.  I have the level 1 and 2 2360. I am returning to the industry after having worked for a maintenance company over 10 years ago.  I intend to do the Part P, 18th ed and level 2 inspect and test. I recently got my ECS card but have had no...

Ok thanks Blue Duck, I just need to make a start, would be happy to be a mate or improver for a while just to get me back in the game. Eventually would like to concentrate on private jobs but that is a while down the line. I have IT network experience so that might be an option.

Hi, I need a bit of advice, I am returning to this work. I have the 2360 level 2 and 3. No NVQ. I have just acquired the Electrical Labourer ECS card, My question is should I do the Part P or city-and-guilds-2391 to progress as well as the 18th edition? Also what are the best agencies for...

Hi all, at the risk of annoying some, I am seeking some advice. I  passed C&G level 2 and 3 between 2005 and 2007, I also passed the 17th edition (can't find the certificate but I realise that is now defunct). I did work in Maintenance for a year or so and still do very small private...
