NICEIC Certification Scheme PAT testing with NICEIC

[jumpjamesjump]

Hi there.

As I understand NAPIT approved contractors automatically are able to carry out PAT testing with there yearly subscription.
Do NICEIC approved contractors get the same benefit? I'm currently just a domestic installer and would have to pay an extra £450+VAT per a year for PAT testing!!

I really don't get how the NIC can charge you £450 a year so that you can do PAT testing !!!!

I'm an Approved Contractor and have membership of the PAT scheme also. I doubt it's available as part of the Domestic Installer Scheme though.

You only need to be COMPETANT, to carry out ISITEE (PATesting) no qualifications required.

You're right there. mate. Trouble is, I doubt half the scruffs who go around doing 'em, for next to nowt, are competent.

Not very much information on their website. But your essentially saying do a training course with them and PAT test forever?
