Could someone explain the UK's system of electrical certification?

[T.S.]

Hello,
I am a lift engineer in Poland.
Is there any website explaining (in simple way) the UK's system of
electrical certification? In other words: what should one do to be able to
work as an electrician (the scope would be putting into work (if these are
the correct words for this activity) and maintaining instalations but also
includes measurements).
I am pretty sure that Polish papers will not do

TIA,

You don't need any papers to call yourself an electrician in the UK.

Generally most companies require that you have a minimum of
C&G236 pt.1 & pt.2

There is no requirement to have any qualifications to be an

Your answers gave me information I could not find on my own and threw light
on the issue.
Thank you all for your time and effort (esp. "Owain" - this was impressive
).
