Clearing things up

Evening all,

As you have 2330 level 3 bud you dont need to do a Part P course. 17th Edition will be needed, and I would do the 2391 when you have some I&T experience under your belt. You dont need to do either, as you have done the equilivant of the 2392 in your 2330.

Hi Lee,

You haven't said if you intend to work for yourself (self-employed) or for a firm.

If you intend working for yourself then you won't need the NVQ3 - especially if you intend doing 'housebashing', as you put it.

The NVQ3 will be required if you intend to work for someone else, as they will expect this qualification - as will the JIB if you want grading from them for site work etc.

This is what I would aim to have in the form of qualifications if I intended to set up my own domestic/commercial firm:

C & G 2330 L2 & L3 - This should give you the foundation knowledge.

17th Edition - You should have this qualification regardless - you'd be surprised what the 2330 doesn't get round to or 'skims' over.

C & G 2391 - To fully understand, (and prove your competence in), inspection, testing, form filling etc.

If you haven't had a lot of testing experience, use the 2392 as a stepping stone - although it's very similar to the 2330 L3.

Scheme Membership - take your pick - there all as bad(good) as each other.

You may then want to specialise, and take further courses, but the stuff I've listed above certainly qualifies you (on paper) for 'Domestic' work............the other requirment, of course, is competence.

Thanks guys,for the feedback.

Certinly makes more sense now.

Yeah i forgot to mention, that i will be going self employed.

So i dont need to have a part p qualification because i will have my 2330 level 3 come july?

As for my 17th edition i was told last year i could do a 1 day top up corse for about

I think most scams will require you to either have 2391 or to obtain it within 12 months,

I suppose you could always jump ship every 11 months for about 5yrs anyway,

by that time part P will hopefully have totally sunk to be replaced by something that actually works.

many thanks

Only problem will be scheme providers require NVQ level 3 for NEW applicants after July this year.
