Guest just startin!! Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 i am just starting up and want to join SSAIB but the new insurance you have to have is £900 for efficacy (miss information) does anyone know of cheeper, also i have no qualifications on the electrical side even tho i have been fitting spurs for other companys for years are there any quick courses i can take to cover me?and what do you think the best form of advertising is apart from word of mouth?
Guest dale Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Word of mouth is the best form of advertising anyone could wish for, its got me loads of customers. As for inefficacy insurance, it varies accross the board, but there aint no easy cheap insurance companies. Just shop around! As for courses, you could do the IEE 16th ed course, only a few weeks long. Alternatively search the site for info on what other courses have been suggested. Dale Oh... and Welcom to the site!
norman Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Hello just startin!!, I used to pay a LOT less for my efficacy insurance (which is failure to operate), I will try to dig out my broker details for you. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
TSS Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Hi and welcome ACT Meters do a 1 day electrical installation and safety course, they even take you to the pub for lunch... £150+vat PP you are then qualified to fit spurs... Or call your local college and speak to the tutor for the electrical courses, I heard that one of our locals did a 1 day intensive course for all their engs at once, on a saturday which was very £reasonable http://www.actmeters.com/actmeters.htm TSS Communication is "A question asked, and an Opinion given."

Guest Peter James Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Call Stuart on 01273 300900 I cant promise he will be any cheaper, but he is worth a try. My efficacy & public liability is over 3k but im covered for 10mil. He does seem to beat any motor quote or household insurance I throw at him. Pete
Guest just startin!! Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 thanks for the replys, i have booked the ACT training and hopefully that will cover me, but its a long way to go for a day course i think i will have to stay up there for the night !! (anyone know any good ladys of the night up there, just dont tell the wife lol) i am starting up self employed while still working till it gets going then hopefully get started on my own. does scantronic do a training course for wireless systems? and does that allow me to fit them( i suppose i should ask them rearly) matt
morph Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Scantronic training is available for radio and all there products. Have a look at Scantronic website Colin.
Guest UKS Posted June 6, 2004 Posted June 6, 2004 Have you heard about part P?? When it comes in early next year you will need to be "qualified" to fit anything fixed electrical (ie. up to and including the spur), domestic or otherwise. Now I'd imagine that would mean getting a C&G qualification.
Mister_Dave Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 If a c & g quailification is needed for part p, your local college would be the best place to start. Dave Oxendale York based security systems engineer.
