Sector: Electrical
Code: DEI
Expiry: 5 years
Background:
The Domestic Electrical Installer (DEI2020) Training and Assessment package covers electrical work as outlined in the Building Regulations and complies with BS7671.
This course is designed for installers working within the electrical or related industries to enhance their electrical skills and knowledge along with the relevant Health and Safety aspects of working on, or with, electrical installations and equipment.
This course has not been designed to take a non-qualified / non-trade related person and to make them into an electrician, but has been designed to give these persons a greater understanding of the health and safety requirements of working with electricity.
Companies, businesses and sole traders wishing to join a Part P Competent Person Scheme (CPS) must have a designated Qualified Supervisor (QS). In a larger organisation the QS will be responsible for the competence and work of all installers carrying out electrical installations. Sole traders are regarded as both the QS and the installer.
The Qualified Supervisor must hold as minimum LCL Awards Level 3 Certificate in Installing, Testing and Ensuring Compliance of Electrical Installation Work in Dwellings
For larger businesses, the DEI qualification can still be used for operatives who are under the direction of the qualifying supervisor. Sole traders must comply with the qualification entry requirement detailed above.
For learners holding an older “Technical Certificates” i.e. C&G 2330 level 2 or 3 or equivalent, without the underpinning NVQ or AM2 should consider undertaking the LCL Awards Level 3 Certificate in Installing, Testing and Ensuring Compliance of Electrical Installation Work in Dwellings to gain full recognition as a QS and enable them to register with a CPS.
Further information can be found in the scheme document from IET who are responsible for the CPS requirements.
A full list of Competent Person Schemes can be found at communities.gov website

They are highly knowledgeable and always willing to help
I would like to say a big thank you to Steve, Keith and Simon for all of the training and help they have provided to me and my staff. I would highly recommend using them if you are coming into the industry, or an existing engineer. They are highly knowledgeable and always willing to help!!

Keith is brilliant
First, I’d like to thank SGAS and Keith especially who assessed me during my ACS reassessment last week. The facilities are getting better every time I revisit (even though on my first visit over 5 years ago they were a class above anywhere else) and ‘Keith is brilliant’. He’s probably forgot more than I know and helps make you feel at ease.
