necessary condition for electrical engineerin in UK
(OP)
Hi,
I have a few questions about UK. It´s very hard to find correct or straight answers from internet, so it would be very helpful if someone could asnwer or guide me closer to my questions answers.
1. what kind of electrical-competence I need to offer a building automation solutions, and how many diffrent competence does UK have. Further more, where and which criterias to I need to perform these exams?(In my homeland I have highest competence A-competnece, which requires at least 2years of experiance in high-voltage work , a degree + licence exams).
2.Where can I get a license to operate as a service provider in the field of energy, or diffrent certificates?
3. Some basic tips about UK-s business: where can I register my company, in what criterias....
4. Which ministry is working on/out energy regulations?
Main question is where to get these kind of sertificates and competence license.

RE: necessary condition for electrical engineerin in UK
Many engineers set up as consultants/service providers, they rely on word of mouth (so their reputation) to get work rather than take qualifications to prove what they can do. Some work can be picked up through agencies, so you would register with an agency who would then put your name forward if your skills matched those required by a company who used that agency.
Companies are registerd at Company House.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change is responsible for the Electricity Supply Industry.

Can you tell me where can I get electrician qualification? which institute or organization is dealing with qualifications?

RE: necessary condition for electrical engineerin in UK
Electrical engineers generally study an undergraduate degree, often to Master of Engineering level if they intend to progress to professional registration later in their career.
RE: necessary condition for electrical engineerin in UK
for example: A-,B-,C-,D-competence, in which A-competence is the highest and requires a degree and experience, and D-requires only experience(but has limitations on which level you can work).
RE: necessary condition for electrical engineerin in UK
The JIB administers the grading scheme for electricians. http://www.jib.org.uk/handbook.aspx?cid=155
Engineers register with the Engineering Council via the IET. http://www.theiet.org/membership/profreg/index.cfm
RE: necessary condition for electrical engineerin in UK
I've never come across anyone who has just studied then started as a highly competent engineer, it takes time to build up the experience. Most engineers study for a masters degree then get a graduate level job, work hard then after a few years look for their next career move.
RE: necessary condition for electrical engineerin in UK
Most? I may have been in a fairly sheltered industry for the last 25 years or so, but I could realistically count on one hand the people I know in industry who completed a Masters before going into a working role. I've known quite a few who have gone down this route after a few years in a job, but it's certainly not the norm, at least in Australia.
RE: necessary condition for electrical engineerin in UK
So sorry, I should have qualified that to say most new graduate level engineers in the UK have masters degrees.
RE: necessary condition for electrical engineerin in UK
As for the OP, I'd be looking at the international registration options, I believe its called IntPE, and both IET and IEAust are parties to the process, as most likely are other engineering associations.
