Best of luck. Phil did mine back in January, very nice guy! He will set you at ease, especially if you're bricking it like I was (I hate exams!).

In the pack you'll receive there will be a list of things they expect you to have, including risk assessments, complaints log, etc

At my first assessment the assessor was very interested to see my "library" of BS documents, reference books etc. A mate of mine got a minor ticking off for not having the Electricians guide to the buidling regulations!

got myself a copy of sparks guide to buillding regs off fleabay for £10,library up to date.

hi guys, im looking to get my assessment with elecsa just qualified, on your first job ie fuse board change you have to let building control no which is £150 then pay for the assessment which is more money then you have to get the suppler out to cut meter tags, what a nightmare, im doing this for a friend, so ant charging for the job, is there any so called tricks of the trade

Yes !!!

Dont involve any DNO's to cut seals etc...
Dont involve any LABC's for assessments even if its yiur first one!
and regardless of friend status or not get him to pay for the bits at least!

Done assesment today,was scheduled for 13.30 and he brought forward 3 hours,what a nice bloke phil was,filled him up with tea and biscuits,went through paperwork,2391 is a bonus if you have it as he doesnt need to pick your brain to bits about the safe isloation procedure etc,went to a cu change,15 mins later,told me my welcome pack will follow in a few days,,just had a cold beer,nice,thanks for all the useful input everyone,gonna sleep easy tonight,and monday im treating myself to a day off and going to the racing at goodwood.happy days

you dont need to pay the extra £288 for doing pir,s with elecsa mate thats an extra assessment for people who want an elecsa creditation in doing pir,s if thats thier main job,you as an elecsa approved contractor paying just the normal £444 for your assessment can do pirs aswell,i had this question for elecsa and it was explained to me that its an extra assessment if people want to do it but not mandatory.

hope this helps.
