Part p

[snowhead]

Part P is a Building regulation and will not be phased out.

It's been updated and probably will be updated again in the future.
It includes the requirements to self certify electrical work.

I stand corrected.

No, you may well be right mate. You know it takes ages for anything to be decided, then they'll change their minds again and again. It'll be phased out for sure eventually.

I tried to find out about a supposed part P course that was mentioned in HVP and the provider told me that they don't do it anymore as it's not valid now and everyone has to do the 17th edition etc.
They wanted 3K of me for a 20 day course 🙁
I haven't got that kind of money, or the time to spend at this point in the year, but I would like to do a part P course so if anyone knows of a provider that's definitely doing this then please post on here so we can all benefit before it changes for good.

Well done mate at last someone has pointed me in the right direction. Tried getting advice from the electrician forum and God it's hard work

I did the defined scope part p in 2005.
I now believe this route into registration with a scheme provider is now closed. At least 1 employee must be fully qualified and be classed as an inspector ??

Tbh it is and why do you think they updated to am3 and metal coms

I can get on a part p from a dozen providers within a 30 second google search.
Part p is not being axed - it is a current building reg.

That doesn't mean anything and they could just state you must be 17ed which = part p

 

[dancinplumba]

Part P is a Building reg. being qualified to part P may be phased out

 

[newcastle phill]

Ohh yes - Of course it means nothing.

And they may also phase out gas safe.

Do a google yourself - i have been considering doing it myself and have found a multitude of providers both locally and nationally

well you never know it might go back to corgi and already 17th ed 🙂

with the additional costs of being with a competent person scheme and the cost of tester, I get a sparks in if it needs a cert. unless you are going to do new circuits etc then need to do 17th

 

[tommy1712]

Tester £400 Sh off eBay I am insured for plumbing and property maintenance so pretty much everything bar gas work, then it's jusn annual calibration and members £450. Domestic installers course £520
Bare in mind my sparkie charges £250 to do a 10mm circuit for a shower. For the extra work I pick up it will more than cover it, then got the extractor fans I just say no to. It's a no brainier to me! I also fit kitchens it's only going to benefit and make me more money. Far more professional I feel, yes it is cutting my mate out the loop but that don't feed my son

 

[newcastle phill]

Ive already got the test gear. Had it for years. Just needs recal

 

[newcastle phill]

What youve just gurgited doesnt mean anything
But if you looked yourself you would end your own argument - and You state "could" lmao
What sort if a bloomin argument is that...

You state your in the know - what...youve overheard a disgruntled Electrician pee and moan about wannabees entering via the route and how they think its wrong.

I seriously doubt your in the know.
I dont think you party to what the IEE are tabling or central government are considering re building regs refinements.

But what i do know - and what can be seen with a few clicks of a button is part p is current and still accessible.

 

[tommy1712]

That Christ for that at last got a answer from the horses mouth called niceic told them what I wanted. ONLY need a 17tg edition course 3 days then pass there site assesment and there competence test

 

[newcastle phill]

And its always been the same - no change there..
