Davey Northfield asks this question, which concerns a changed City & Guilds qualification, and whether he will have to do a refresher course or not. It has been answered by the NICEIC (Theme - Regulations & Legislation):
Question: I've just found out that the City & Guilds qualification 2391 that I hold has now been changed to 2394/5. Do I have to re-sit this course or take a refresher?
I keep constantly up to date with the current regulations (BS 7671:2008) and its First Amendment. I am self-employed and my local authority has already refused to accept completion certificates from inspectors unless they are registered with SELECT or other suitable governing body. I have a small turnover and this is crippling me - any more cost may put me out of business.
Answer: The 2391 is still a valid qualification and there is no requirement to do a refresher course. This would be your decision as part of your CPD.
The new qualification now replaces the 2391, but does not supersede it.
