BPEC Part P Full Scope Training Course
Stroma’s Part P training course is designed for people wishing to carry out both defined scope and full scope electrical installation work in domestic premises. It covers levels A, B, C and D of electrical work and allows installers to undertake most electrical additions/alterations associated with domestic premises, including consumer units, completely new wiring installations and outside cabling (SWA).
Upon completion, installers can register with a Government-approved Part P competent persons scheme, enabling them to self-certify work. The course does not presume any previous electrical training/qualifications on the part of the installer.
The defined scope course runs from Monday-Friday and covers levels B, C and D. The full scope section of the qualification is provided as a top-up course on the Saturday of the same week, and covers level A To achieve BPEC Part P Full Scope Certification, candidates must attend and pass both parts of the course. Assessment is made on practical elements throughout the course, covering installation techniques, testing and inspection. Candidates also sit a series of written tests to demonstrate their knowledge of underpinning information and legislation under the requirements of BS 7671.

BPEC Part P Electrical Installation Course
Electrical operatives have two options for obtaining the certificate:
1, Notify the local authority Building Control who will then visit the property upon completion to inspect and test the works before issuing the certificate. This process will incur a significant additional charge.
2, Become a fully qualified member of an electrical competent persons scheme – the operative can then self-certify their work and submit compliance documents (i.e. installation, testing and inspection certificates) to the scheme provider, who relays the information to Building Control on the operatives behalf. This eliminates the additional costs incurred by compliance checks.
There are two steps to complying with Building Regulation Part P:
1. Attaining a valid Part P certificate (either defined or full scope) following completion of the necessary training.
2. Registering with an approved Part P competent persons Scheme.

REGISTERING WITH A COMPETENT PERSONS SCHEME
Once Part P qualified, electrical installers can join a Government approved Part P competent persons scheme. Registration will necessitate an on-site inspection of wiring and testing work to ensure competence. During the inspection, the installer must produce reference manuals, a BPEC Part P full scope certificate and a multi-function electrical tester which is compliant with the requirements of the 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations.
Some schemes also stipulate a current wiring regulations certificate (obtained by completing the City & Guilds 2382 17th Edition Wiring Regulations course).
