CITB and NICEIC form new strategic alliance
CITB –ConstructionSkills and the Ascertiva Group have announced their intention to form a strategic alliance between their certification divisions, Cskills Awards and NICEIC, two of the UK’s largest personnel certification bodies.
The alliance will bring certification and support activities together to bring consistency of delivery to assessments in a number of schemes including the Nationally Accredited Certification Scheme (ACS).
Emma McCarthy, Chief Executive Officer of Ascertiva Group said: “This alliance brings a great deal of stability and consistency to personnel certification by the introduction of standardisation, which will ultimately benefit all individuals that need to undergo training or assessment to demonstrate their competence.”
Colin Evans, Business Services Director for CITB- ConstructionSkills went on to say: “We are looking forward to working together, with input from our customers, to deliver a standardised assessment package which will offer solidity and reliability in an ever changing market. This alliance will ensure that we have the best possible training and assessment products available to a wide range of occupations.”
The two organisations will deliver a standardised set of products. Approved training centres will continue to operate under the existing two brands and will continue to be served by their existing certification body staff.

Free Transfers
Transfer window open for domestic sparkies
NICEIC is encouraging electricians not to score an own goal and transfer for free from their current scheme provider to NICEIC’s Domestic Installer Scheme (DIS).
NICEIC's Domestic Installer Scheme registers installers to Full Scope or Defined Competence for domestic electrical installation work in accordance with Part P of the Building Regulations.
Paul Collins, Head of NICEIC, said: “NICEIC is the UK’s leading voluntary regulatory body for the electrical contracting industry and a name recognised by householders.
“NICEIC regularly promotes the importance of employing a NICEIC registered contractor to homeowners and runs several campaigns throughout the year which help promote our brand and helps our contractors win more jobs.”
Electricians registered with NICEIC are assessed on a regular basis to ensure the quality and standard of their work conforms to the IET Wiring Regulations BS 7671 and Approved Document P as well as other relevant standards. Once registered with the NICEIC, contractors can also access a range of support services, including technical advice; industry recognised training, industry literature and contractor insurance.
The free transfer service is quick and straightforward. Simply log on to the NICEIC website at www.niceic.com/contractor/join-niceic or call our team direct on 0870 013 0458.
Electricians will need a copy of their registration with a current scheme provider, a copy of their most recent assessment report, and confirmation of public liability insurance (up to £2 million) as well as evidence of relevant qualifications.
NICEIC has been assessing the electrical competence of electricians for over fifty years and currently maintains a roll of over 26,000 registered contractors.
