Please Note!
Once a person has successfully completed the Part P qualification. You must follow one of the following two routes:

Self-certification

Register with a government-approved competent person scheme, which enables work to be self-certified as compliant with the Building Regulations. (Such as the NICEIC).

Notification

Notify Local Authority Building Control in advance of undertaking each job so that they can inspect the work.
The second option will include checking that an electrical installation certificate has been completed, with work fully inspected and tested to BS 7671. Notification will therefore be just as technically onerous as self-certification, and potentially a lot more expensive and bureaucratic.
