Why take this Part P training course?
To register with a Competent Person Self-Certification Scheme such as NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA, you will be expected to be competent and have had training in Part P building regs. Having these skills and qualifications and subsequent registration, you can self-certify your installation work and provide your customers with a Part P electrical certificate.
Our 5 day VRQ Part P Courses will bring you right up to the required safety & legal standards, enabling you to competently install your domestic electrical work, compliant with Building Regulations Part P.
After gaining your City & Guilds VRQ Certificate in the Building Regulations for electrical installations in dwellings on the Part P electrical course with Trade Skills 4U, you are able to register to become a competent domestic electrical installer.
Is this course right for me?
This course is suitable for those wishing to undertake domestic electrical installation work, either for themselves or any person wanting to be a Domestic Electrical Installer and undertake work for a paying customer.
Part P building regs were brought in by the government in 2005 to ensure electrical installations in domestic systems were safe and properly installed. To ensure this, they passed a law ensuring that anyone doing this work was competent.
The Part P VRQ qualification that we operate on our electrical training Part P courses, is proof that you are competent.
Entry Requirements
You must be able to complete the skills of the 5 Day Domestic Installation Workshop TS4U-MOD1 Course unaided before attending this City & Guilds Level 3 VRQ Part P course.
New to the electrical industry?
If you are new to the industry, then you should be aware that this course alone will not give you the skills necessary for you to become a competent Domestic Installer.
We would strongly suggest that you would need to undertake the 5-Day Domestic Installation Course, City & Guilds 2382 17th Edition and the City & Guilds 2392 Inspection and Testing courses. These courses will offer you plenty of high quality training and qualifications to register with an Electrical Safety organisation such as NICEIC or ELECSA.
