NAPIT Assessment

Mark Whittingham
Hey Team,

I am just joining NAPIT for first time and have a assessment to prove my competence. My issue is i am still working full time so have no installations for them to inspect. I have told them this and they said put 2 installs into my house but as we all know if it was that easy we would all do work at home but its chasing walls etc to do this. 

My question if anyone knows would they allow a simple Radial Socket below fuse board and a batton with light switch again just below board? Its simple but once they come they can ask all the questions they want and look at my CV and qualification to realise who i am competent wise. I am really only joining as i would like to do landlord certs in own time and sometime this year will be going it alone doing certification and inspection work.

    I think the best folk to ask if such a job is suitable are NAPIT themselves, ideally the local chap who will inspect you.

    I have heard of folk doing their own CU change and adding garden lights as show works for example.


    Given you mention inspections, rather than just repairs and installations, be aware that although the law is quite liberal on who can do them, there are several pitfalls for the unwary/ inexperienced. There  have been a number of examples discussed on these fora where inspectors have failed to understand what is in front of them when it is anything more than standard circuits, and have made some inappropriate decisions.
