My apologies - I didn't know it had that. Maybe I should spend some time looking at it more before commenting as I did.This is from the Electrician's Guide to the Building Regs - looks like a diagram to me, just not what I needed. But I take your point about it not being a design guide.
But thanks for posting it, because if you do carry on and learn more, and study for qualifications there will come a time, trust me, when you will look back and realise just how scary it was not only that you could look at this:
and not be able to grasp that you could do this:
but even more that you couldn't see why that cast serious doubts on your basic understanding of electrical circuits.
They were related to the point - you really do need to study more.Your links were unrelated to the point
Does that £1800 include the cost of registration?In respect of the Part P (semantics of qualifications aside) my understanding from training companies, eg. Builder Training Centre - it is possible to reach the level of being able to apply for self certification status - following as you say, the C&G parts - in all about 10 days. Presumably, this would require some pre-read and practice.
At a cost of about £1800, I reckon that is about one-third of the cost I would be quoted for a re-wire, so if I could self-certify I potentially save £3500 and gain a skill.
PLI, because even though you don't need it for DIYing you have to have to register?
Calibrated test equipment (hired is no good)?
And don't forget that you have to pass the assessment, which means being able to walk the walk not just talk the talk regarding testing, and show examples of your work, not all of which can be trivial.
