At least you didn’t call it Stoma like so many do @Vortigern normally picks up on that!

thanks

Stoma

There you have encapsulated the problem with Stroma. Most clients think it is some kind of stomach bag for bowel problems and look confused if I mention the scheme I am with. But there, that is how little the people know about these schemes.

……..You'd be better off with Nappies………or Nickers, maybe?

Whilst I appreciate the NICEIC are liked by most of you guys, I 100% would recommend the ECA. My main reasons are 1) they own NICEIC so you are not or never will be disadvantaged by not being NIC, you still get all the same discounts on NIC training etc. 2) you get a web portal where all the main certificates are editable and printable.
3) you can pay I think it’s £80-95 per year and get free access to all British Standards off your computer or smart phone (that alone saves hundreds). 4) Free excellent help desks for electrical/ leagal/ HR / fire systems etc.
5) they have specialist groups so if you are approved for fire you also become a Fire and Security Association member to.
6) a on line ERAMs portal 7) Contracts help.
Just to name a few

Hi Tom, apologies if I've misunderstood, but I don't think ECA is a cps, so it can't fulfill the basic requirement of self certification under Part P.

Hi Wilko,
Forgive me if I’m not so educated on part P as a company we do not do any domestic work so not a thing for me.
How ever if you have a look at the download pdf it highlights all the ECA benefits one of these is about PartP discounts. Also as. ECA member you get free JIB membership, discounted ECS Cards etc.
I am with the ECA Director of Technical later today and can find out for you ?.

We're ECA members and notify through Elecsa. I believe ECA acquired Elecsa a few years ago. One of the main reasons we stay with them are the competitive private healthcare premiums. The policy also ignores pre existing conditions which has been helpful!

Now there is some sort of tie up between ECA,Elecsa,Nic under the Certsure umbrella, but I'm not sure who bought out who, or if it was a merger.

saw this recently. from niceic - in a 12 month period they kicked out 0.2% of members for being incompetent.

I believe the ECA missed the boat when applications were being sought for Part P approved schemes. They essentially applied too late.
