[Ethel]

If you mean the Part P certification:

Part P of the Building Regulations - Electrical Safety
Since January 1st 2005, it is a legal requirement to certify certain types of household electrical work in compliance with Part P of the Building Regulations. This can either be done by a building inspector or through self-certification by the contractor.

To self-certify work, electrical contractors and related tradespersons such as kitchen and bathroom fitters, domestic heating and plumbing engineers and DIY enthusiasts will need to undertake a short self-certification course to make sure electrical work meets Part P requirements.

For details on Part P self-certification schemes, entry requirements and information about which electrical work requires self-certification, contact NICEIC, BRE Certification, ELECSA, British Standards Institution (BSI) or the National Association of Inspectors & Testers below.

There may be entry requirements for the scheme, depending on your qualifications and experience. Some providers offer additional training if needed, for instance, 16th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS7671); some do not. Please check with the providers.
