Electrical and Part P
As Plumbers, any Electrical work you undertake is likely to be within ‘special locations’: Bathrooms and Kitchens, installing showers and extractor fans etc. Any work undertaken in these areas is notifiable to local building control unless you are registered onto a Part P scheme as a competent person.
To register onto a Part P scheme you are required to have knowledge of domestic installation and a relevant qualification which determines that you are competent and able to safely work on electrical equipment in the home. Persons registered with the Part P Self-Certification Schemes will be qualified contractors with the ability to thoroughly check a circuit for safety. They are required to issue an Electrical Installation Certificate that complies with Building Regulation requirements when the work has been completed.
In order to get you to this competent level for Electrical installations, Able Skills has devised a 5 day practical training course which will provide competency in
- Applicable Building Regulations
- Electrical Safety legislation, regulations standards and terminology
- Safe isolation procedures
- Identification of unsafe electrical situations
- Earthing and bonding requirements
- Electrical test procedures
- Cable and component selection
- Installation and replacement of electrical components
- Checking the correct and safe operation of installed electrical components
- Recording of electrical test results and completion of certification
- Installing and/or rerouting cables
- Special Locations
- New circuit requirements
- Lighting installations
- Maintenance
- Supplies
With this information safely under your belt, the next step will be to obtain the Domestic Installer Qualification which will enable you to register for Part P.
Able Skills is approved by Emta Awards Ltd (EAL) to deliver this qualification.
This is a further 5 day course, predominantly class room based and you will be assessed on your Electrical Installation knowledge which you will have obtained with us on the first 5 day course. At the end of the week you will undergo a multiple choice, On-Line examination to obtain this award in full.
