Testing for landlords

[sparks1973]

on the quiet , i'm glad the 2391 has ended
at least the achievement and value of gaining that qualification by those who have it is preserved and cant be spoilt by further inferior versions.

well....was just having this conversation with someone the other day (not on the forum)...anyway.....it got round to the C&G2391 and how it will have more weight in the future compared to the course/s that replace it..being `dumbed down` n all that lot...

 

[Guest55]

agreed.
its value will not be reduced in future years.
even now , the 2360 that ended years ago had more respect than the 2330 or 2357 that replaced it.

Many thanks, useful post for junior NICEIC domestic installers. Cheers.

as has been said here already....you don`t need `permission` from a scam to carry out EICRs...this is something that seems to persist and the scams fan the flames....then present themselves as the solution by offering `periodic inspection courses` and `upgrades`...its all a load of twaddle......
The NIC will not allow a DI to use their headed forms to carry out EICRs unless your AP graded.....but that doesn`t mean you can`t carry out EICRs using your own headed forms....that is to say forms with your own company name+logo on em....but as above....a good knowledge of the regs and compentency is required here....

peter,....it depends what your involved in.....
look, if your industrial only...with some commercial as well...then why bother?
the scams are aimed squarely at the domestic role....
so you decide....

Because that's EXACTLY what they are.... A Complete Scam!!! Taking large sums of money from members, for little to no return!!

But what about being registered as an approved contractor??

I've not really looked into it much yet but I'll be qualified soon and I've been looking into registering As an approved contractor with niceic. Surely bein registered as a contractor covers PIR's or EIRC's as they're called now.

Am I getting the wrong end of the stick when people say they don't want to pay to be allowed to test is this just the extra you'd have to pay to get an approved status or is it an extra cost on top of that to be able to use niceic forms for a PIR.

Really?? the guy told me that because I'll be a JIB registered gold card holder I could automatically register as an approved contractor

They've waived that now Glenn, just like the DI thing if you can pay the money and have the jobs to show, you're in.

It's a bit of a Mickey take if someone can go through a 4 year learning experience alongside work then work for a firm for a few years then when they want to go it alone they can only register at the same level as someone who has done their 17th edition and registered part p...

If that were to be the case I personally think there should be 3 levels of classification. Because its also unfair to the highly experienced spark who's been at it for many years.
