can any one help with this one?
do you need 2391 to get registered and pass the part p domestic installers scheme, or will they help you through it, say i went with niceic?

cheers.........spot.

Hello Spot

The NICEIC will require you or other responsible person to have 2381 and 2391 and also some other main form of certificate e.g. NVQ or C&G Electrical installation, or apreticeship equivalent

hope this helps

Intresting Tellondon, I found all this ages ago from a requirements listing, partp.co.uk gives a better list tho actualy, and allows for similar positions with qualifications onc/nvq/scq/C&G etc

I would think the 2391 is most important to them, being self certification and having to test all your work, before 238 was overlooked if person had trained to 16th regulations in the course's

thanks TT

i have looked at the NIC site and there is no requirement for 2391 but you must show the ability to be able to test and inspect and hold all the correct test gear.
i suppose if you hold 2391 then its a bonus!!

Basically any joe soap can do a ten week part time course or 2 days in a private college and become part P approved, makes a mockary of doing a 3/4 year apprenticeship

These are the requirements of the NICEIC scheme,i presume the others are very similar

Those who like me have projects which are likely to fall under part P may be interested in cutting and pasting the site below.   You will need Adobe Acrobat.

I am doing a refurbishment at the moment.  I will also be erecting a kitchen and garage which will come under part P as foundations will not be dug by January.  

I was originally going to wire the extension myself and then get it professionally hooked up and the whole house installation checked, but now, if I have understood part  P correctly, I will have to get the extension professionally rewired and the rest checked out at the same time or else do the work myself and pay to have the electrical work to the extension inspected by Building Control or their agent.

I may see if any of my electrican friends will let me string the cables and then charge to fit sockets etc., hook up, provide an installation certificate and check out and certify the rest of the house. This might keep the cost down a little.  

Evry time I think I understand Building Regs the goalposts move a little further away. However, I can't argue with the fact that electrical installations should be safe, and I have seen some horrible work in the past - not all of it done by amateurs like myself.................

Yeah, Im following the same thing with the 16th also in that it is for people to learn about the regulations and how we applicate them, but obviusly 2360 runs along 16th eddition standards, im taking on 16th eddition as an extra altho I learnt to 16th edditon, this is because some companys ask for it regardless of the fact you learnt to it  

good luck with NIC tellondon, hopefully all will go smoothly enough.
