Part P Domestic Installer registration Headache

[linnie]

I did my Part P qualification with ECA to 16th edition back in 2006. I am now wanting to join a Part P scheme but have no formal 17th edition qual, some schemes seem to offer a 12 month allowance to get 17th edition after your site assesment/registration can anyone shed any light on this as to costs and best schemes etc Wanting to practice and self cert whilst completing 17th edition exam. ut the kettle on

Depends whether you want to just do domestic or full scope:

Elecsa - Part P Scheme

NICEIC | Contractor | Schemes | Domestic Installer

NICEIC | Contractor | Schemes | Approved Contractor

Ill say full scope is required

You're moving away from the "basic" domestic side in that case. In the case of NAPIT you'll need a recognised C&G like the 236 or an NVQ plus within 12 months a test and inspection qualification "like" the 2391. Probably then the 2394 an 2395 I think.

Pretty sure NICEIC also will want the standard C&G's/NVQ plus the 2391

and Im pretty sure they would require the 2382 as a basic, before registration,

or is that not even needed now? :|

2382 is needed now. The rule was if you were with a part p scam, you had 12 months to get the 2382

 

[steptoe]

yea, but c'mon samson, its been 4years now, everyone realistically has had enough time by now.

 

[samson337]

I no, I no. But it's like going to a nice bar in trainers, if it's 10 pound on the door are they going to turn you away nowadays ? Money, Money that's all there after.

 

[linnie]

when you say moving away from the domestic side, i need to be able to certify kitchen and bathroom work.

My thoughts too Steps if you are not quick you will be needing to do the 18th soon.

 Ah eventually found what i was looking for on elecsa site. Thanks for your comments. Contractors will need to show proof that they have an

acceptable electrical qualification i.e. a qualification recognised

by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the Scottish

Qualifications Authority. If the contractor does not have a

recognised 17th Edition qualification then they must book onto a

suitable course within 30 days of the assessment and then after

completion, issue proof of passing the course.

The ELECSA link suggests you must have 2382 as a prior to signing up. The NAPIT link I posted was from their site TODAY and saying you have 12 months to get the 17th. Mind you they're making no mention of the 2394 & 5 so guessing their web page is behind the times. Ditto the NICEIC page makes no mention of 2394 & 5 - that appears dated Sept 2008. The NICEIC appear to say if you already have the 16th you have a year to get the 17th but there ARE date restrictions.

So on the basis that there is only ONE Part p it's nice to see that 3 of the major scam providers are all singing from the same hymn sheet!

 

[samson337]

Yer but batty, even when that comes out you will still have a year or so before you have to do it.

 

[batty]

But four years is a very long year.

 

[samson337]

That's the scam for you. They make make the rules. Not us
