...plus you will also need 2381 (16th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations) - I am currently doing that course at Lewisham College. 8 weeks of 3 hours a week, though you'll also need to buy a copy of the regs and the On-site Guide....(total cost me over £300, and that was discounted!).
If this helps, I got this info from someone high up in NICEIC (one of the bodies who can get you on a 'Self-Certification Scheme' - essential if you want to work for yourself):
To get started as a 'Domestic Installer', i.e. someone who works for themselves (say) and only does domestic work, you need:
1) To have City & Guilds 2330 Level 2 (which you can get in 1 year - cost me £900 at Lewisham College), or be otherwise able to prove your electrical conmpetence (not absolutely sure about this bit).
2) To have, or be enrolled on, the 2381 16th Edition course.
3) To have been self-employed for at least 6 monnths
4) To have 3rd party Public Liability insurance (up to £2M?).
5) To show the NICEIC two jobs that you have installed, inspected & tested yourself (you can arrange that with them).
You then pay them some dosh (£350 or so?) and you're up & running as a 'one-man band'.
Once you have your 2330 Level 3 (another 1 day a week for a year and £500) and you can show them six jobs, you can then apply for full membership, with various benefits (I guess you can do commercial/industrial work).
So there you have it: working sparky in 1 year and fully trained one in 2 years! You have to hasve had previous, though, which it sounds like you do, Crazyk. Hope this helps.
(The above info is correct as far as I know, and took a long time to track down, believe me).
