Self Certification Scheme Requirements

[RB2004]

http://www.elecsa.co.uk/assessment_help.aspx

Hi, just been reading there.. and under requirements for Part P Self Certification Scheme membership it says,

On the day of your assessment, the assessor will meet you at your place of business. The assessor is looking to make a judgement on your knowledge of BS7671 and your competence in working to this standard. In determining your ability to self certify, the assessor will check the following:

Public liability insurance cover
Electrical reference documents (BS7671, Electricity at Work, On site guide etc)
Test instruments and calibration records
Electrical installation certificates for work carried out
Complaints procedure and log
Guarantee Insurance provider (not required on the day of the assessment as details can be provided at a later date)
Risk Assessment procedure
Health & Safety requirements
Site Visit

But doesnt mention anything regarding viewing proof of attending any relevant training courses/certificates.

so does this mean that anybody who has a sufficient knowledge of the 17th Edition regulations, and Part P building control regulations, inspection and testing... can register as long as they meet the requirements listed above?

Just I always assumed they would require certificates to prove your competant to be carrying out the work. Or is it actually the case that as long as you meet the requirements listed.. your work is to 17th edition standard and meets part p regulations, and you have a good working understanding of 17th edition requirements you can self certify as part of a scheme.

Training and Qualifications

In addition, the assessor will be looking carefully for comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the following aspects of electrical installation work:

IEE Wiring Regulations

You must be able to demonstrate a full grasp of the current (17th Edition) IEE Wiring Regulations. The recognised qualification for this is the City & Guilds 2381, although it should be noted that there are equivalent qualifications and at ELECSA’s discretion an earlier qualification may be suitable. You may still pass the assessment by demonstrating competence through your thorough understanding of the IEE Wiring Regulations without a qualification but you will be required to achieve the qualifications within the first 12 months of your registration.
