Part P

sellers · Feb 17, 2009

Hi there, I'm just coming out of my c & g 2330 aprenticeship and looking to go self employed sometime in early 2010, ideally I'd like to get my part P sometime this year? Is this possible? What else would i need? I work for a local contracting firm and am very familiar with testing and inspecting.

you can join a scam with the quals you have. i reg'd with elecsa half way thru my apprenticeship. also had 2381

Wait until you know you when your going it alone. Apply 4 months before you are due to start the epic adventure but remember all the scams want to see test sheets and certs for recent jobs.

So how does it work? Do you do one of these 5 day courses, and then you have to submit a certain ammount of test sheets and certs? Do they also come and look at your jobs once or twice a year?

Are there any other ways of being able to self cerify your work? My dad and father inlaw are both builders and prepared to give me their electrical work, but its only worth it to them if i can self certify it.

you get yourself qualified enough to do work (apprenticeship, know it all in 5 day course etc). then register. then someone comes to look at a job of yours, checks all paperwork (PLI etc). makes sure you know what your doing. then repeat yearly.

if your not registered, you can still do work, but notify LABC who will then check it and issure part p certs (for a nice fee)
