I have been talking with my brother-in-law about his "Part P"
registration, having seen reports here I couldn't understand how he
seemed to think he had "Part P approval".  Well now I know, he's
registered with ELECSA who are one of the part P registration
organisations but seem much more oriented towards dealing with
individuals.

He has a card which is personal to him which states he is a "Part P
Approved Contractor", it does have his company name on it (he's a one
man band) but the card is 'his' not his company's.  To get his
registration he has some C&G qualifications and has had some work
inspected.

What's the bottom line? How much per year?
How much for the initial joining fee?

It's about £300/year, joining fee is the year's subscription as I read it.
