Simple, answer no.

To even "touch" lekkie in the UK you need to have P1 + loads of other things.

This might be of some help, as above definately need part P qualification.

Depends on what work your looking at going into, domestic installs will need part p, industrial and IIRC commercial does not require it. What work were you looking for ?

No mate the lowest you need is the 16th edition to be a sparky in the UK, infact I think it's gone up to the 18th edition now.
