The NICEIC is holding its Domestic Installer Scheme Qualification courses throughout the year at Regional Centres throughout England and Wales:
In order for electrical installers to self-certify that their domestic electrical installation work in England and Wales is compliant with the Building Regulations, they must be registered with a competent person scheme, such as the NICEIC Domestic Installer Scheme. All applicants to the NICEIC Domestic Installer Scheme must meet a number of requirements, in particular be able to demonstrate they have the ability to install, inspect, test and certify their work in accordance with BS 7671, and to comply with the relevant Building Regulations.
The DISQ is a five-day programme comprising of training and assessment, to meet all the needs of the competent person scheme. The emphasis of the qualification is on understanding regulations, standards and terminology, and having the ability to identify unsafe electrical situations and perform electrical test procedures. Knowledge and appreciation of the relevant requirements of other appropriate Building Regulations is also covered during the course.
If you are currently an experienced installer and you undertake a wide range of electrical installation work (for example, you do 'new builds' or rewires) you should attend the four-day training course and then undergo the full scheme (Level A) assessment.
If you are currently an experienced installer and you undertake a limited amount of electrical work associated with non-electrical trades (e.g. you install bathrooms or kitchens) you should attend the four day training course and then undergo the defined-scope scheme (Level B or C) assessment. Level B is for those who may add an extra circuit and Level C is for those who may alter an existing circuit.
Successful completion of the course and appropriate assessment will suitably prepare delegates to undergo site inspection under the NICEIC Domestic Installer Scheme.
The first four days are dedicated to the theoretical and practical modules, with the fifth day allocated to the assessment.
Both the aspects of the DISQ are delivered in a modular format allowing it to be delivered over a number of days, evenings and/or weekends. Your Register Training Provider will provide you with details of the timetable for each course.
