Discuss starting out, what should I charge? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

What is this Part P exam, part P approved & part P qualified everyone keeps posting about ?
Some twopenny qualification that the scams have made up to make even more money I'm afraid "part P qualified my backside anybody could pass that"
 
Basically building regs, one day course. i.e. dont bang a hole through a wall and leave it open to sound, fire, water people dogs cats critters.....ad nauseam
 
I think the part P thing was dreamt up by someone who needed to dream something up so that they could justify their own job, much the same as the people who write the gobledegook (spelling?) that is the 17th ed regs. If ever their was a need for something to be re-writen in plain English, it's the regs.
 
I would issue 1 per circuit being worked on and just list the work carried out on that circuit. Have I been doing it wrong?

I replaced a DB this morning and found that what I thought was a ring circuit was actually 2x 2.5 FP200 feeding a twin socket. I can only assume the bodgers who fitted it didn't have any 4mm on the van.
