Choose the right route to demonstrate or gain the qualifications and experience to join NAPIT

In order to join any NAPIT membership schemes as an individual or with your operatives you need to be able to demonstrate competence to carry out the types of work that you cover.

If you have years of valuable industry experience but lack the formal qualifications, we are here to help. If you are able to demonstrate your expertise, we may be able to offer you Experienced Worker Routes to some of our membership schemes.

These routes are designed for tradespeople with older, limited or no formal qualifications. You or your operative’s competency will be assessed based upon:

  •  A demonstrable portfolio showing work previously undertaken
  •  An experienced Worker Assessment by structured interview with one of our assessors
  •  An onsite assessment of relevant work carried out
  •  In some cases, you may need to belong to specific assurance schemes or have a set amount of public liability insurance depending on which specific scheme is undertaken

There are several schemes that accept the Experienced Worker Route based on verifiable experience, including the plumbing, heating, ventilation schemes.

For heating, plumbing and ventilation it is required to have a minimum of 3 years’ verifiable relevant experience as well as the requirements listed above.

If you would like to find out more about the Experienced Worker Route, or discuss the best way to join any of our schemes, our friendly Customer Registrations Advisors can quickly talk you or your employees through your options so that you can make an informed decision that is best for your business.
