Part P

[MAITLAND.JARED]

Another time I was asked to sort a fault in a tenants house, the RCD was tripping every now and again but quite often, so traced the fault to a leg crossing the landing, lifted the floor boards and spotted a dead mouse and a 2.5 cable with the insulation nibbled down to the conductors, exposing all three.

The mouse can't have done the part p exam or that wouldn't have happened

They hide your building regs Cert in part P(the only online part of the course).
I did this course because i had very little site experience.Aong side my 2330. Iv retrained after losing my job on the railway. First day i started i was told to do domestic work i needed 17th 2330 level 2 part P(aka building Regs). So it isnt a Qual and is. As faras im aware you ve got to have your building regs cert along with various Quals (2330)(17th)
I agree thaJoe blogs should nt be able to just do this and think he can do rewires,But in fairness its a nice taster if you were thinking of training to be a spark. And does teach you more things relevent to site work. As i say i did this along side my 2330 and because of that i found 2330 much easyer. Im not sticking up for dodgey part P sparkys.
But the course deffo was helpfull to me. Some people will choose to abuse the part P.

Hi
I am of the opinion that any course is better than no course. I am a domestic electrician for a numberof years and lecture at college on the subject. Over the years I have seen some horendous jobs from so called experienced sparkies. It is a bit like driving a car, the more we drive the more complacent we become and class ourselves as the best drivers because we are always doing it. Not so. I believe in refresher training and that we all should have it. Simply because we develope bad habits. I have seen this in real life and in numerous electrical jobs where a suposedly qualified sparky has undertaken previous installations. (The housholder usually uses the phrase, Eee well he said he was qualified or produces the installation certificate which includes a cooker circuit which has never ever been installed in the property) Mmmmm? seen it all. My opinion, any qualification is better than No qualification at all.
Cheers Hec

Just registered and found this very helpful in understanding qualifications required and how part B fits in to the overal scheme of things.
As an unqualified electrician i do any non notifiable work on my own renovations and am 'currently' trying to understand electrics and this is helpful. Thanks
