NICEIC Certification Scheme Criteria to become registered as an experienced electrician?

[Joemile]

I have been working as an electrician under an NICEIC Approved Contractor for the past 10 years. I have my C&G2365 level 1/2/3 (acquired before 2021) and my 18th edition but I have started to carry out my own work on the side over the years so I plan to become self employed eventually and want to register as a domestic installer.

I am just curious as to what criteria I would need as a long term electrician working consistently on the job? I have heard about an NVQ level 3 portfolio but that seems bizarre for someone like myself who has years of experience and works in a supervisor role within an NICEIC registered company.

I'm just wondering is there an alternate path for experienced competent electricians? And if not, What other criteria I would need to add to my current qualifications to become a domestic installer?

Welcome to the forum, your position is actually not really that valuable as Its not really elevating your qualifications - I have been many many managers supervisors and administrators in my time, that's all about directing people and not about meeting/exceeding the requirements of the IET/BS7671 etc - talk to NICEIC, NAPIT etc and ask them for a list of the requirements - or google it - they are all online - that will show you what they actually need. Remember, what you do for yourself is way more valuable than what you do for an employer, I was a manager for logistics for a sizable company, totally useless in showing whether I can pull off an EICR with competence.
