NIC Domestic Installer Scheme (Read 4704 times)

lenny GDPR opt-out	NIC Domestic Installer Scheme Feb 17^th, 2010, 1:22pm Hi I am thinking of joining the NIC DIS and was wondering if anyone had recently done this and had any useful information for me regarding the best types of jobs to show the assessor and the relevant paperwork i would need to show during the assessment. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have never joined any of the scams and am quite happy doing my own thing without paying their exorbitant fees. TT

Wouldn't it be easier to get on a scheme and self certify instead? It costs 250 quid every time you involve building control. How can you avoid it otherwise?

Take for a fact, that Part P is not, and never will be effectively policed - no Public money, and they've no idea what they are looking at in any case.

Also - why do you think that rolls of the old red & black coloured cable fetch so much on ebay?

Of course, there's always the obvious - Not all electrical work is notifiable in any case.
