I did the Part P regs test last year with the builder training centre. The test was half A day. only one other electrician was there with me. From the start of that week there was about 12 non electricians taking the builder training centre's full part P. These people seemed to be general builders, kithen fitters and someone who worked in sainsburys. I found the test easy as did the rest of the class.

What I dont think is right is the class who took the full weeks course were asking about testing and certificates. They seem to think this would give them the knowledge, competence, confidence to sign off their work as is probaly why general builders were on that course but it doesnt. They are not confident, competent or have the knowledge to sign off their work or someone else's work, but probaly have been.Tutor did say at the end of the day that they will start doing testing and inspection training courses soon. Another good money earner after the Part P has finished.

Still doubt you can become an electrician in 5 Days though.

YOu can't but you become a competent person......(after certification from a body etc big difference between Part P and being an electrician)

Got custom-Audio/Video or multi-room questions? Feel free to ask me

Have just passed the Part P with them, I consider this to be one of the main requirements towards self certifying my Plumbing related work.
The courses are short but they do state that a certain level of knowledge is required before you attend, when I did one of the foundation courses there were a few people that were clueless and shouldn't be allowed to continue without lots of further training.
Generally the course was informative, fun and was run by people that are/were in the trade and know what they are talking about.
The Part P exams were not that difficult so long as you knew the content. Of course that's easy to say now that I passed!
