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.

well...for a start you will need to have been registered as a DI for 2 years before the NIC will entertain AP...

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.
