I find an acredited company who'll "recruit" me so I can then work

For a wage of, say, (minus) 25 quid a lifetime?

I be prepared to bet it's going on. ;-))

Beg to differ with everyones opinion of Part P, but the quality of the
installer work is assessed and the technical abilities of the supervisors is
also assessed so that they can perform the Qualifying Supervisors role. This
person ( and this is the weak bit) is responsobile for ensuring that the
quality is maintained.

I have got to say however, I am not in favour of this scheme because it is
difficult to enforce. What should have been done is prevent the sale of
electrical items to the general public unless the purchaser is licensed,
same for gas, but this goverment has not got the balls to do that.

I to am frustrated with having to pay to register for something I have been
doing for 15 years.
