Mike2007 said:Cheers Rob. If the examiner is fine with that then its good option!
Surely though, your assessment is not only of your ability to test (an ability you have yet to acquire) but of your ability to carry out work in accordance with BS 7671. If you haven't done any work on this property how can you be assessed on this installation?Mike2007 said:I am not sure I have explained things properly. This is the house I live in but I did none of the final circuit rings, as you can see they are terrible!
Good. But it takes just as much knowledge to alter an existing circuit as it does to add a new one, because of potential inherent faults. The regulations are not relaxed for minor works.BUT, I am not so stupid to try to rectify this CU work without proper training.
And you can do that perfectly easily and safely within that Wylex standard fuseboard, if you know what you are doing.I only need to link conductors at any CU to do tests for my defined scope assessment.
Because there are no legal requirements to prevent you from inspecting, testing and certifying your work. The job is not finished until the certificate is issued.How can I have loads of experience doing T&E without the legal status to first practice, if you know what I mean?

Mike2007 said:There will always be new people entering a work market that you are in but there are always old timers leaving, so I don't see why there is any bad feeling about less experienced people? How about the experts training those that are keen to learn and strengthening their companies?
