Under current Electrical regulations you have to be qualified and have the Electrics Certificated for fitting an outside light, (an unqualified person can replace an outside light but not install one)
Suggest its best if you get a qualified electrician in and do the job properly.
Did you mean because of the Building Regulations Notification Requirements?Under current Electrical regulations you have to be qualified and have the Electrics Certificated for fitting an outside light,

If yes, then that is no longer the case in England.
Part P of the Building Regulations is The Law and therefore everyone must comply with it.But there is nothing that actually states that part p compliance and certification is required from a qualified person.
Agreed.I know obliviously they must have some skill and knowledge to be able to perform these tasks safely and correctly, but qualification are not a requirement.
It may just be confusing wording, but to be accurate and clarify:

There is no such thing as Part P certification. Certification may be issued by anyone.
Anyone may do electrical work, but:

That is not the case.Whoever issues the certificate must be registered and qualified,
They 'may'.You state anyone can issue the certificate,
That's not the same. MoT inspectors are licensed (if that is the right word).Its a bit like saying anyone can issue a MOT certificate for their car, regardless of knowledge.
What do you mean by a DIYer?I would suggest to a DIY`er putting in an outside light it would be easier to fit a Solar Power light, these are very cheap these days, operate remotely no need for any switching, come in many modern designs and cheap to run, coloured LED`s if one wants, cheapy outlets do them , i.e lidl, Pound Shops etc.
