there part of the ECA....electrical contractors associationAm I right in thinking elecsa are fensa?? The glass governing bodys sister company?
Yes, NAPIT already do. If you havent got it but have the others they give you one year to obtainThe 2391... I believe that the schemes will soon be requiring Level 3 qualifications or that you are taking them, for full scope membership.
For what its worth I joined Elecsa. The joining process was very thorough and if your not up to scratch they will soon know about it.
and can easily see why people consider it the 'easy option'

I understood that the assessor as well as putting you through the hoops in terms of knowledge, procedures and the practical review of your work also looked at previous EICs. Specifically to ensure that notifiable work had actually been notified. Quote from ELECSA "how to avoid common Part P assessment issues" - " On surveillance visits all work undertaken during the previous 12 months will be checked to ensure that work which is notifiable, has been notified".
I'm interested because the costs of getting BC in in this area are in excess of £220 which is prohibitively expensive to load on to the small notifiable jobs resulting in working for nothing. Many customers are not in the slightest bit interested in certification which is worrying and will happily accept a none scheme EIC and schedule of test results. Not Part P compliant but the customer is happy and the job will stand electrical scrutiny. Being brutally honest i think that there are many out there just doing this and I wonder how an assessor would respond should they see a shed load of EIC that have not been notified once the sparky has applied to join the scheme?
any...their all as bad as each other....
