NICEIC Work examples stuff

[M1K3]

Hi again,

okay were about ready to apply to join the NIC in the next few weeks. I was wondering who here is in the NIC domestic installers scheme and has shown their examples of work.

Just after an idea on what to expect really.

We plan on showing a new D-Socket added to a ring in a bedroom (1 spur to the 1 Socket in the room) and as i understand they need to see a example in progress? Does this mean watch you do an installation or inspect/test on the work you have/are doing?

Cheers in advance

Just completed My assessment for FULL reg but would expect the same level of inspection.

You are required to demonstrate that the work you are submitting is to BS7671, that you can inspect and test the work and that it is representative of the work you will be doing.

At present, I understand you submit two jobs for their inspection, but next year you will need to supply a list of jobs and they will pick 2 to be inspected. So you should make sure you are always happy that it conforms to regs.

I was told the same about having one completed job & one in progress for the NIC domestic installer scheme assessment, when I gave details of the addresses & work description & stated that one was completed the other was a job in progress to NIC I received a call back from NIC & was informed that both jobs had to be completed works. Bit of a downer as one of my jobs is a full wiring installation of an extension & as im in full time employment elsewhere the sparking only gets done over weekends.

I gave the inspector a list of 11 jobs for him to pick 5.
He only asked for 10.

I had 2 copies of all certs for every job, one cover sheet with job details, tel no.s and brief description.
Be prepared, always have more than is required- customer always let you down when they say they will be in when they are not.


I also had keys for 2 jobs and a variation of jobs- 2 rewires, several minor works and a few new circuits.

The chap made me feel at ease, and was very professional.
I asked around other contractors about him and the consensus was that he was thorough but fair.

Got a lot of feedback.

I am still waiting for paperwork and other stuff to come through from NICEIC.

I guess your talking about the full NIC reg there mate?

On the Domestic Installer Scheme they only ask for 2 examples of work and not 10.

CHeers for your reply tho now i know more of what to expect. I also have a key for one of the jobs i will be showing him, it must be awfull if you turn up to some place and no one is home. Making you feel a rite nunse on the door step with mr NIC.

Cheers guys

There is no point in me doung the domestic installer scheme- Does not and will not apply north og the border.

If I go for full membership then I can do work ALL over the UK.
