Hi all,
I am a new member to this forum and would like to introduce myself. I am seeking advice to help me gain the knowledge and experience needed to help me property develop.
To give you some context, my brother and I last year inherited my mother’s property which has a decent sized plot of land with it. We have realised the potential to develop a 2nd property and are currently applying for approval from the local planning office.
I would like to undertake the electrical installation myself as well as do any future property developments after this one. I am not looking to work as a qualified electrician at this moment in time but could be an option for the future.
I have been looking at taking a course through a private college in London (ableskills) as I need to learn quickly enough for me to be ready to wire in the new property once built (this could be sometime away yet). I am aware from my research that this type of training are leaving people a bit short of the hands on experience required to work as an electrician full time as well as advising on courses that are not really necessary. I understand that I will need a fully qualified electrician to sign off my work, but do you think this kind of training would be good enough for me to carry out my own work and build on this experience for the future?
The C&G/EAL qualifications I have been advised to take are below. Would this cover my requirements/are there any other C&G courses you would suggest taking?
C&G 4555 - Introduction to Domestic Electrical Installation and Understanding Electrical Installation and Applicable Building Regulations
C&G 2382-12 (17th Edition)
C&G 2377-22 – Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing
C&G 2392-10 Level 2 Certificate in Fundamental Inspection, Testing and Initial Verification
EAL Level 3 Award in the Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations
Many thanks and appreciation for advice/guidance given
Regards,
