just make sure yoh have all your certs .wastedisp statement gs 38 bs7671 osg up to date test equip certs public lib insurance.
im with napit and i think nic ask for proving units . questions asked will be basic knowledge and if you dont know the answer just
refer to the bs7671. all they want is to see your competent and arent going to kill anyone. they also want your money. just keep
calm and you will be ok . i know where your coming from as i was sxxxxxx my self the first time but it was easy just show your
confident. one ques they mostly ask is safe isolation procedures

Try not to be too nervous
Bear in mind that as far as I know few if any has failed a domestic installer assessment

They will be looking at the outset to pass you, and will do so as long as you are not a complete novice and that the documents,both worthwhile and junk necessaries, are in order

Be confident and make good tea

Get your paperwork in order so you can just hand it over. It's impossible to say what they might ask you so don't waste time fretting over it, keep your REgs book handy and if you are unsure don't make wild guesses, just admit you are unsure and look in the book. One trick if it is a trick is make your regs book look well thumbed

As Des said, they want to pass you as they get paid by you.

Able to reference bs7671, able to inspect and test. Have your Certs, insurance,waste disposal policy,health and safety policy complaints book etc.

brilliant thanks guys, but whats my waste disposal policy?

You need to decide what it is. You have certain obligations on how you dispose of your waste equipment. Cable you can take to one of the many recycling centers (and get paid for the copper content). Details on the rules are here: Environment Agency - Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)

As said just relax im sure it will be easier than you think ! and also as said make sure the kettle is on when they arrive and a nice biscuit is also available ! got to admit i've never been asked for a waste disposal policy ! the tests will be nothing unusual ! their not there to trap you and remember its your paid for time so make sure you get all the advice you want from them !
before you know it you will be fed up on how quick the annual's come around !
