Advice on what qualifications I need

 What other qualifications would I need?

In theory you don't need anything - legally anyone can go out there and call themselves an electrician.


If you want to do a lot of domestic work you'd probably find it convenient to join one of the Registered Competent Persons Schemes for part P of the building regulations - each scheme will have its own list of requirements for qualifications & experience - so best to look at their web sites.


If more commercial/industrial you might find membership one of the traditional Trade/Customer organisations beneficial - and again they have their qualification requirements (and some overlap with the Competenet Persons Schemes).


You'd probably want some insurance (PL at least) and again there might be some requirements there.


The industry generally is pushing for particular QCF 'levels' for qualifications - but as far as I know there's no legal requirement for that (yet?).


City & Guilds are usually the 'go to' organisation for qualifications - and can offer several options depending on what exactly you want to do. Others here will know the various numbers off the top of their heads (it looses me - they keep changing!) Other organisations also do (or at least did) their own versions too.
