do CORGI really require you to have done these courses?

You need water regs if you are laying mains water pipes or doing any work on pipes covered by the water regs.
These are mainly mains water pipes but cover all pipes in a combi fed house.
Energy efficiency is now required if you are fitting a new gas boiler !!!! Didn't you know that? They gas installers TWO years to get it as well as a subsidy on the course cost.

hmm, so effectively if i want to install a combi (which lets face it we all have to do) i need both?
oh well, can't think of anything better to spend three hundred notes on.

I don't see why CORGI require you to have Water Regs qualifications...
Water Companies don't require you to have qualifications - and it is the Water Co's who are responsible for enforcement of Water Regulations (not those robbing sods at the kennel club).
The only stipulation is that work carried out must comply with the water regulations - something you don't need a ticket for, just a sound knowledge of the regs. A DIY'er can install water pipes, it is only certain things that need inspecting (or self-certifying) such as new supply installations or existing supply replacements (up the drive etc).

I'm surprised they (CORGI) haven't started charging you to notify that your van is taxed and insured...
Maybe from the 1st July they will charge their RGI's £300 a year to certify that their van's are smokefree...
Do they actually charge RGI's for notification of Water Regs compliant installations?

The take on needing the water regs for corgi is that if you join their scheme should you install a waste connection into a room that prevoiously never had any waste pipe/soil pipe fitted they will register it with LABC instead of you having to have the building inspector inspect and test the drain.
They used to let you join the plumbing scheme for unventeds as well however not many people bothered paying the £175 membership plus £200 inspection hence why we now get unventeds with your gas registration as long as you hold G3.
Water regs was the biggest waste of money yet, multi choice exam where the questions tell you which book and which page to find the answer.
