I had my annual assesment a couple of days ago and my assessor said

'I see a lot of similarities between your work and mine'

What was my reply?

All went fine BTW

 

[Sidewinder]

I hope not!

How can there be similarities between actually carrying out electrical installations , estimating . quoting , ordering materials , organising , maintaining skill levels, pulling cables, setting conduits, soving problems, testing installs, observing H&S, attaining qualifications,  attending faults, breakdowns, keeping the van running , builders not paying you and............................................................Ticking endless boxes on forms . ?

 

[Sidewinder]

NICEIC DI & NAPIT assessors are as I understand things not employed by the schemes, but subbies who are actually still working contractors?

 

[kerching]

The correct answer is......" I will never be as good as you , for you are a God amongst men .,  now where do I sign so that you will flick off until this time next year"

Next year I'll assess yours and let you know!

 

[Nicky Tesla]

so thats how you can spot all the botches

 

[Steve3948]

NICEIC Approved Contractor assessors are all employed, and can be viewed on their website for the area covered.

However I don't think the same can be said for DI assessors though.

 

[NozSpark]

You're right Steve...

From what I know all DI assessors are sub contracted.. Some are AC's

 

[Evans Electric]

Was that not the biggest rip off ever .......when Party Pea come in , the NICEIC already had its established members who were assessed every year and were , presumably ,registered as Competent Persons already but , as far as I know, had to pay yet again to attain Domestic status .  I may be wrong .   

Does a member acredited for Industrial / commercial work have to pay again for domestic , Plart Plea Competent Person Staus? 

 

[NozSpark]

No... AC status covers domestic PP work without any extra charge.... to the annual fee

 

[Evans Electric]

Thanks NOZ ,  I thought there was a rip off . so that sounds fair enough .

 

[NozSpark]

After the first year the fees are very close..

Payment by DD

DI £370 per annum

AC £379 per annum

... However the initial application fee (first year only) pretty much doubles the annual fee for AC's

 

[Evans Electric]

Ah   Thats what mislead me TBH .... seeing  the two annual fees  ..I didn't think it through .... The DI fee covers domestic only ...the AC fee covers both . :coat
