If you have just completed a course that covers the requirements relating to part P of the building regulations then you should be aware of the next steps required.

The course in and of itself is only a means to show that you understand how the building regulations work, it does not need to be registered or recorded anywhere other than your records so that you can show that you are aware of the rules.

In order to be able to undertake work that is notifiable to building control and to self certify that work as compliant with the building regulations, then you would need to join one of the self certification schemes.
The course would demonstrate that you are aware of Part P, but you would also need to be competent in electrical work and have the qualifications specified in order to meet the joining criteria.

These are the available schemes.
