whys that a waste of money? its exactly what you need without having to fully train as an electrician?

 

[Barry98]

am doing it to improve my knowledge of electrics and further my own devolpment . i dont know everything and dont claim to. i would do the 17th edition if i wanted to be a sparky then again if i wanted to be a sparky i would of sat at the back of the class picking my nose with the rest of them

 

[bob the plumber]

i did the the part p defined for the same reason bod, my idea of testing a live used to be just touching the cable i do what i need to do know, if its messy and im not sure then ill get the fully qualified guys in to sort it like most engineers out there

How much is it costing Bod. I've been thinking of doing it as i am paying a spark for minor works certs and last months was £900 (i just wrote his cheque out!)

 

[Barry98]

£600 and same as you mine was stupid a month , when he turned up.

 

[Barry98]

the £600 is just course , i havent looked much into other fees etc further down line, but i see it as once i register etc i know i am reliable enough and will be on site anyway lol .

 

[Barry98]

[SUB]again im lucky enough that the same matre who got me my multi meter just gave me this. just needs calibrating for if i do the pat p course. which is a posibilty am considering as i have a few commercial places where i do gas works so might be able to get some pat p work while were there [/SUB]

 

[tamz]

Same carry on as you with him turning up on time. Half the time i've got it wired and he just beeps it and fks off. I might look into it more. Cheers mate.

and then you have to register with a competent persons scheme like napit and be inspected once a year, and buy a multifunction tester etc etc, gets expensive but gotta do it before july cos requirements change

 

[Barry98]

no worries

That is true but it will be cheaper than 10 grand or so a year for me anyway.
