Hey everyone, slightly controversial thread title to get attention!

I've emailed niceic in addition to asking on here. I'm hoping to get officially registered to design/build/test installations.

I've got an apprenticeship in an engineering subject which included LV control panel wiring. I've got a degree in electrical and electronic engineering, so I'm very competent in the theory of electrics and could definitely safely size conductors and fittings. I have no knowledge of domestic regulation but I'm completing the 18th edition next month.

Is that enough? On paper? I'm obviously going to work hard at gaining competence but I'm just trying to work out if I have enough relevant qualifications on paper.

Thanks for any help given.
 
There was a time when the Niceic would let you in with your regs exam only. Now a QS has to be NVQ3 I think. Not sure though, might just be a govt recommendation that gets ignored.
 
contact niceic, napit, elecsa, or stroma see what they require. basically it's 18th with a couple of jobs to assess, probably need to commit to a testing qualification as well.
 
Crikey I thought my reply was a bit near the knuckle, but reading this lot makes me feel better.

Have you received remuneration for any electrical work yet?
 
My field is aircraft electrics I rang the niceic last week asking do I need to do 2392 for them. They said no as my aircraft back ground is suitable as testing is apart of it. They said as long as I'm in before the end if Jan I can do it on my 17th edition too. So guessing no for you too then

Please get niceic to do your first assessment on a Hercules...in flight;)
