NICEIC or ELECSA if you want to get registered quickly.

NAPIT will want you to have 2391 as minimum, but they will allow you a year to obtain it upon registering with them.

Go with ELECSA if I were you , friendly outfit and everything kept simple.

I agree with deke elecsa is run by sparkys and they seem to make things as easy as possible. I'm not joined up yet however have rung them for advice and the assessor rung me straight back and was really helpful. Seem like nice people and very down to earth. Cheers

how long from applying till i can certify?i need to be able to do it asap or it means paying local council and to be honest its money down the drain

apply, then 3-4weeks you get your assesment, pass and you can self cert from there.

If you've got your head screwed on and know exactly what your doing, complete the job and self cert when you pass. Note you'll need at least complete 1 job to show elecsa.

If you do the 2392 you can cert your own work but not others but i think you might have to be register of notifi labc
