“With the City & Guilds 17th Edition\u00a0qualification
\nam I allowed <\/em>to carry out work in domestic properties?”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My reply…<\/p>\n

In order to carry out electrical work in domestic installations you will also need to comply with Part P and other relevant parts of the building regulations as well as the regulations in\u00a017th Edition BS7671.<\/p>\n

This is to ensure that any work carried out by you is safe and fit for purpose, as you can be prosecuted under the Electricity at Work Regulations or the Health and Safety at Work act for any unsafe work, injury or damage.<\/p>\n

Part P basically states that certain types of work and also work within certain locations within the home must be notified to the local building control ‘council’.<\/p>\n

Notification to building control can be handled in any one of two ways.<\/p>\n

1. You could notify them directly yourself before work commences ‘which can be expensive’.<\/p>\n

2. You could join a competent persons scheme such as NAPIT, NICEIC or Elecsa\u00a0and they would notify your work to building control on your behalf.<\/p>\n

Under a competent persons scheme ‘which is the best way to go’<\/strong> they assess your ability and check your work every year. They are in effect vouching for you to the local building control services and\u00a0as such you’ll have to demonstrate your competency and\u00a0there is an admittance fee and annual charges.<\/p>\n

Having the 17th Edition qualification is a must have<\/a> as well as some experience in Certification and Inspection and Testing.\u00a0 Knowledge of Part P and other Building Regulations that affect you working in a home will also be needed.<\/p>\n

Because of this question and to help those wishing to become a Domestic Electrical Installer we’ve put together a new course which goes through Part P and other regulations and comes with the City & Guilds 2393-10 exam.<\/p>\n

There’s also workshops covering many useful\u00a0subjects including Certification and Inspection & Testing which are needed in order\u00a0to be a competent Domestic Electrical Installer.<\/p>\n

Take a look at our new Part P City & Guilds 2393 online course.<\/a><\/p>\n
