I get this, at my current place we all have internal 'licenses' for some of the heavy machinery, and is the same, almost useless anywhere else

This is my thinking the training is genuinely good and the tutor is very knowledgeable. So, knowledge wise I'm on the right path, but what good is that if I can't prove it at the end 🤷

Jesus you lads go though some nonsense. Thanks for all this extra information, I have put effort into looking for it but there is so much to look for (and lots of contradicting information) that I never know what to think most of the time

I have that doc but I haven't looked at it since the start of the course, and it was all non-sense back then, but thanks for pointing me to it cause that makes things a little more confusing... Am I understanding correctly that notifying through a CPS, will be free (minus the obvious yearly...

That's an interesting series of events, and sad if that was/is the state of things. I do think the idea of flexible training is a great idea, as there are plenty of people like me that wish they had done all this at college when they were 17. I certainly make a better student now at 33 than I...

I have just got off the phone with NAPIT, who where very helpful, they recognise all of the qualifications I listed bar the Building Regs and PAT (obviously they don't care much about PAT) so that's the good news. The bad news is that, as has been mentioned here, I will not have a core level 3...

Thanks for the Napit/NICEIC advice, I didn't know that was a possible option. I need realistic, not positive, so cheers

This was my original thinking, electrical work is all electrical work, as in an added spur basically doesn't change if it happens to be in a business property. So you make a good point about it being marketed as a 'domestic' course. I need to have a word with my trainer like you say. Thanks

To add to this: I have done some searching (which I obviously should have done in the first place), and I've found almost all of the qualification codes on the EAL website...

Obviously I don't know about the qualifications themselves, or I wouldn't be asking. But the course content itself has covered circuit design including calculating the Ib, In, Iz, all of the derating factors, volt drop, adiabatic equation, etc. They have covered earthing and bonding, and Ze...

Access training got back to me with specifics, I have yet to check against a CPS, but here are the qualification codes: 03/0149/1A - Building Regs 603/3298/OB - 18th 600/4340/4 - PAT 603/0144/2 - Fund 603/4337/4 - Initial Verification 600/4338/6 - Condition Reporting Also I was told to...

Have you researched the options for joining a CPS? i.e. what C&G qualifications they require compared to the qualifications you have? You didn't actually mention any C&G numbers with your qualifications list? I have done some research and it seems the LCL awards are accepted, but I need to do...

That's fair, I should have added that in: LCL Awards Domestic Electrical Installer (DEI) Qualification Level 3 Certificate in the Building Regulations for Electrical Installations in Dwellings Level 3 Award in Requirements for Electrical Installations Level 3 Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)...

I'm currently training so this is a genuine question: Am I understanding correctly, that OP wants to join a 4mm circuit to an existing 2.5mm ring? As I understand from BS7671, you can spur with smaller cable using a fused spur, but no mention of increasing to a larger size for certain parts of...

Thank you, it seems like a good community on here

Hi Guys, I have recently been retraining to become an DEI electrician with Access Training, I was a bit dubious about the course at first but it's been a lot more in depth than I was expecting and with a good amount of self motivation I seem to be getting along well. There is also a practical...

Hi all, I am currently training part time whilst still working a full time job, and I'm really enjoying. I have a reasonable amount of basic electrical installation experience, like fitting/extending ring final/radial socket circuits, and lighting circuits. The theory side is all a bit new to me...
