First time NAPIT assessment Discussion ThreadFirst time NAPIT assessment Electrical Advice
Hi,
There are a few variations of this question here so apologies if its a bit of a broken record but I can't quite find the exact answers I'm after. Straight to the point:
Has anyone recently had a first time NAPIT assessment?
If so, were you able to show work in your own home? I know this used to be acceptable but I am sure I recently read this was no longer acceptable? I was thinking of changing changing the CU in my house, putting a new supply to the garage with new garage CU and an outside lighting circuit. (I would actually prefer not to change the main CU as currently it is a pretty nice Eaton RCBO filled job, however not sure the other items would be enough alone?)
And now some unnecessary background waffle:
I have never previously been a member of a scheme, but having recently decided to take on larger jobs than the odd outside light or socket for f&f to cover the ever increasing cost of being alive, I have found myself being asked to do 2 full rewires and a wire up an annex..
I would like to know I can certify these before agreeing, ideally. One rewire is for a friend who would be more than happy to let me show someone the work after, but it still doesn't really sit right with me knowing I am not absolutely guaranteed to be able to sign it off at the end. It seems a strange thing to me that I can't certify things, but need to actually do the work to show the inspector...
Finally, for clarity I am hoping I would get through it just fine (though nothing is a given!), I have all quals and more including 2396 design, apprenticeship served and 10 years of employed experience from small domestic to VSD control panels and PLC/hard logic safety systems in nuclear . None the less I would rather have it wrapped up and in place before taking on paying work.
All insight welcome,
Thanks,
