Hi. I've got all my qualifications and want to do more work for myself. The only work I've got to show for assessment on the cps scheme is work I've done as a subcontractor on new builds. These are houses I've done from start to finish, but the certificates have been done by the company that I...
I’ve got my First Nic assessment coming up, the installation I’m proposing is an outside socket radial on 20 amp breaker and an outside light, my worry is the c/u is a plastic Crabtree about 10 yrs old, will this be ok ?
Hi all. So with a bit of time on my hands I've decided to do the self assessment 2019-2020 return be my self. For the first time!
I have paid cis as a subcontractor in this year - in the eyes of the HMRC does this count as having a business? Being an improver a few agencies have put me on a...

Set tester to L-PE...
Just thought id let people know i've just completed my NICEIC assessment via Skype, because of the virus.
Was fairly straight forward, he contacted me a few days before to get what he needed via email to make things smoother, really lovely fella. Asked a few technical questions about...
This question is to those who are niceic. I am an approved contractor, I had my second periodic inspection on this previous Monday. The assessment had started as it usually does 8 till 12 everything went well however I had just realised by chance actually that the niceic had billed me for an...
Hey folks.
My assessment is at the end of the month. Going to show the assessor my own CU upgrade at my home (which will be completed before he arrives)
Other domestic work I've completed has mainly been for a mate who runs his own company so I dont want to step on his toes and get the NIC in to...
Hi Guys,
I've got my NIC Domestic Installer assessment coming up in a few weeks and am a little concerned about it.
I signed up over the phone, signed and returned the forms, but after re-reading them, I'm a little (lot) concerned.
As I don't hold an NVQ L3, the form mentions I require a...
I've just had my yearly Stroma assessment.
The assessor 'nice chap, firm but fair type', let me know that over the next 2 years the CPS side of Stroma will be completely taken over by Napit, although Stroma have 3000 people on there CPS schemes so it may take longer. The point he was making is...
Hi all
I have my nic-eic assessment Thursday I think I’m all prepared but just wondering from your past experiences what I could expect.
It’s Domestic Installer I’m doing.
Thanks in advance.

Greetings :)
Had my AM2 assessment last week.
Passed, 98%!
Relieved to have it in the bag!
Managed the install with 45 mins to spare!
Other practical assessments went well.
Although the paperwork for inspection and testing took ages!
NVQ is next.
I’m unsure as to what to expect with the NVQ...
Hi
So a customer of mine has just had his fire extinguishers tested and for some reason the guy doing the fire extinguisher check removed this 600x600 flat LED panel and looked above it and said that what he sees is not safe and it's a fire risk.
He proceeded to quote £600 to have 7 of these...
Hello everyone,
I am new member to the forum - not sure how forums work, if I'm posting in the wright place or not etc..
Anyway I was wondering if anyone could help me with the risk assessment for the AM2.
I can't think of more than 3 really, I know this is easy but I always overthink the...
I've got my annual Stroma assessment next week and the job I am taking them to is a board change. I have not fitted an SPD as by my calculations it was not a requirement (plus a tight customer would not want the extra cost)
I don't think it will be a problem but am just looking for reassurance...
Hello :)
I'm currently on my final assessment for 2365 after spending two years at college.
I really want to complete the assessment in some design software rather than manually drawing.
I found designspark which looked as if it could do what I want but doesn't seem to like importing...
