In order to be able to sign off your own work under Part P you would need to be a member of a domestic installers competent person’s scheme ie with NAPIT, Elecsa, NICEIC etc.
To join a competent persons scheme you would need to demonstrate to them that you have sufficient knowledge and experience to complete your work safely and in compliance with any applicable regulations. The basic qualifications that could be used as evidence of knowledge are the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations C&G 2382, the Building Regulations C&G 2393 and an Inspection and Testing qualification such as the C&G 2392 ‘Initial Verification and Certification’.
These combined with evidence of experience such as references as well as work you have completed that they can examine could be enough to secure your place on a competent person’s scheme. Although installers with little experience may be required to complete a more formal – apprentice type course and qualification such as the old C&G 2365 up to at least level 2.
Our online courses at partptrained.co.uk will provide the qualifications for the Building Regulations C&G 2393 and the Inspection and Testing C&G 2392 and our online workshop contains the domestic electrical installation theory training needed to be a good competent domestic installer.
We also provide the online training and the C&G 2382 exam for the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations at our online training website: www.the-regs.co.uk
If you ring round the competent person’s scheme providers – the NICEIC may require more experience, but Elecsa and NAPIT are usually very helpful.
