Just to add, if by small works you mean problem solving simple stuff like why do my lights flicker or changing broken fittings etc. the course is overkill but gives a lot of confidence. If you've never changed a breaker then the course is very useful for confidence inside the consumer unit.
If you want to add circuits or install in bathrooms/outdoors which is good money but bigger jobs and plenty of demand you will need to be registered and you will at least need this course before you get accepted by a registered body.
They will also test your competence by coming to view work that you have completed and that work will have to be something that requires registration. It all starts to add up to a situation where working for a firm helps you get registered before you start doing small works on your own.
