Electricians . Does anyone know how much PART P building regs course is?

Mandles

I have no idea where to post this sorry. Does anyone know where an electrician can do the part p building regulations course and more importantly how much it costs and do you need a multi tester(mega) first??
Any help would be appreciated.thanks

It is really complicated to see how much it actually is by this site.Has anyone done it that can give a clearer idea of how much it is to do?

Hi Mandles,

You may get some more replies on the In My Home board, so I'll move your thread over there.

As far as I know it varies between which organisation you wish to register through and at which level you wish to join. Nice for electricians to have such choice, unlike us gas fitters :mad: .

It really is just another stealth tax though. It stops the genuine one man electrician from doing any work without paying a stupid amount of money. It won't stop the cowboys though, as they don't care anyway!!

Yes, but at least you have a body with a name "Corgi" that most people recognise. If you ask someone how they know if an "electrician" is qualified to do work in their house they wouldn't have a clue.

For plumbers, part P it's easy, just avoid it by getting boilers with 13A plugs fitted and use low voltage or wireless roomstats. Or move to Scotland.

It is a real lottery, there must be at least 10 companies doing part p certification. Not all to the same standard i suspect?

i know it was a toss up what to train for initially, a plumber or electrician but decided it is cheaper to train to be electrician so i do pity plumbers and what they have to fork out to keep up to regulation!

Plumbers do not require a corgi certificate only gas fitters. So plumbing is still an un regulated trade!
