We've streamlined our processes to make things as simple as possible for you to join NAPIT. Whether you're joining our Competent Person Scheme as an Electrical Installer or join one of our other schemes, the process is exactly the same. Certify and notify you jobs fast, on-time, every time with NAPIT Desktop 5, our fully integrated support system, packed full of useful content.

It is important that you get work done by competent people working for businesses who are committed to quality, safety and customer care. NAPIT certificated scheme members have demonstrated their competence, they hold the necessary insurances and have the right processes and procedures to assure compliance.

The Registered Tradesperson search allows you to identify installers by the scope of their certification and their location. If you have already identified an installer and want to check their credentials then you can enter the company name or NAPIT membership number to retrieve their details.

If you are searching for installers on the internet be aware of a number of installer listings that do not relate to certification under government authorised or UKAS accredited schemes.For all but the smallest jobs, you should aim to get three quotes. Summarise what you want in writing and check that the quotes you get back cover what you have asked for.

The following section describes the schemes that are available to installers through NAPIT. Although the following schemes have individual purposes, the installers you may be using may well belong to several. For example, installers involved in the Microgeneration Certification Scheme or Energy Efficiency Measures Scheme below and who work in England and Wales will almost certainly also be certificated under the Competent Person Scheme as well.

NAPIT carry out assessments of Scheme Members with the purpose of ensuring that they are competent to deliver safe and compliant work. We do however recognise that sometimes things go wrong. If that happens it is important that you first raise the issue with the installer and make sure they have had an opportunity to resolve your issue or complaint before raising it with NAPIT or other parties.
