I am in N London and i think our assessor covers your area as-well. He goes as far as Potter Bar. The NIC will tell you his name in the letter confirming the inspection. Ask again when you know.

Yeh,

But the DI assessors are usually associate assessors (not directly employed) so it will be a different guy Slips

You still get a letter with the proposed date and the name of who's gonna come and visit you though.



But saying that ..

on three occasions now I've had a different person turn up than was on the letter!!!!

:C

It don't really matter who they are..

so long as you know your stuff and can offer a Cup-O-Tea!

:coffee

Cuppa, biscuits (chocky) and toilet facilities are a must I have found

Got me through many a visit

Most important, have all your paperwork ready, insurance, past certificates, calibration certs of equipment, books such as BS7671, On site guide, Memorandum of health & safety at work act. Complaints procedures. Not sure if you would need GN3. Make sure your van is clean & tidy as you have to take him to visit some jobs. Make sure you will have access to the jobs, keep a spare one booked just in case.

All good points,,, I've got a folder made up with all my bits and pieces in,, insurances, complaints log, calibration certs, accuracy log, etc, etc...

I also keep all my certs in a seperate folder with another log.

BTW,, DI assessors use their own transport between jobs and usually do not return to your office at the end.

A spare job is a very good idea!
