Qualified or not?

D4G
Hi all


Question is can i carry out any domestic electrical work with the following qualifications:


C&G 2330

C&G 2382-18

C&G 2392


I should have by now completed my 2391 however due to Covid things aren't currently on track.


I currently work as a multi skilled maintenance technician and have done for many years.


Do I need an NVQ before I can carry out any electrical work in a domestic environment or what is the best way forward?


Your input and advise will be much appreciated.


Thanks.

    I am currently trying to get my quals at the moment and the old AM1 and AM2 still carry a lot of weight , which in some ways makes a lot of sense , its great when you get to work with the highly skilled people , and by enlarge they are happy to pass on skills and show you how to do good work. Domestic installer I think is still useful , but the highly experienced electrician offers felxibility, so even though the fully qualified electrician is hard thing to gain , I think in the end it supports the industry and keeps standards on the right track , Working safely is what we always must do. and good quality stuff to install , which helps in keeping systems reliable and easier to replace or change things .

    As far as i know with those quals , you will need the NVQ , if you were an apprentice (and we shouldn't forget we were still making highly skilled people in the electrical business before the change to college quals) I think there is a special practical test under JIB which recognises this and you can qualify that way.
