    Is this the end of 6 week wonders? New Domestic Gold Card Apprenticeship announced

    It's much harder to get work in commercial without a Gold Card compared to domestic where literally anyone can just hawk for work. If the 'standard' becomes a Gold Card for domestic work 6 week courses can't be a thing anymore. They mention in the video that the only other way of getting the...

    Is this the end of 6 week wonders? New Domestic Gold Card Apprenticeship announced

    Course there could be. There's Gas Safe which is mandated in law. What's the difference? Laws are just papers pushed through parliament by groups of men. They can make any law they want, all they have to do is agree that you need XYZ qualification to touch electric and make touching it...

    Is this the end of 6 week wonders? New Domestic Gold Card Apprenticeship announced

    Nobody is saying it will 'fully' stop it, but having a standard card that clients expect to see is a huge step forward, no? All we need is an actual law saying it's illegal to touch electrics without the Gold Card and then 90% of the have-a-go competition is wiped out since most people don't...

    New Domestic Apprenticeship announced leading to Domestic Gold Card Interesting. Still as clear as mud how this will work but this is probably the thing we've all been waiting for. Hopefully it will clear the waters and stop DIY Dave having a go - making a Gold Card the standard should make...

    I'm surprised you won't be spending that time making a police complaint about someone hurting your feelings.

    The Rise & Rise of the Celebrity Electrician

    People who aren't rich don't understand debt and how to use it. I'm from a council estate, not even 'working class', but 'benefit class' so there's no 'discrimination' going on. How's about we all forget it's 2021 where people complain about their feelings and simply ignore comments we don't...

    The Rise & Rise of the Celebrity Electrician

    The real funny thing is you wouldn't believe how little actual money Amazon makes and that Jeff built his entire business model on shifting money from Peter to Paul. You couldn't have possibly chosen a better example to prove my point. Amazon has $33bn of debt ??

    The Rise & Rise of the Celebrity Electrician

    Every single one of the richest people on earth use debt to their advantage. The mindset of don't use debt is one that has been taught to the lower classes. There's a reason Elon Musk etc have billions in net worth but can't pay small fines because they have no cash flow. The problem isn't...

    The Rise & Rise of the Celebrity Electrician

    Depends how we define success i guess. If you pay everything up front all the time but have your van on HP you are using debt to fund your company. I don't see many people buying a £20k van outright because they 'don't like debt'. Mostly everyone of any decent sized business at least has their...

    The Rise & Rise of the Celebrity Electrician

    Nah, there's a pretty decent although subtle distinction between the two which like i said normal one man bands don't understand but those who are rich and successful most certainly do. I am neither but i know an awful lot about how to set up a business properly, and let me tell you that buying...

    The Rise & Rise of the Celebrity Electrician

    'being in debt' and 'leveraging debt' are not the same things. Having a credit account and making your payments every month is debt. If you didn't build your company on debt it means you pay for everything outright and upfront which is why i said no successful company avoids debt completely.

    Is this acceptable?

    I don't see why not, it's what those ferrules are for and it will create a great connection. Definitely not standard practice but then i wouldn't necessarily go by 'standard practice' to ascertain what is good or not. Will definitely do the job and do it well.

    The Rise & Rise of the Celebrity Electrician

    If you run a business, the business is a legal entity and has nothing to do with 'you' legally speaking. If you run a company and owe tonnes of money your company owes it not you. Fact is even paying suppliers at the end of the month is a form of debt because you don't pay straight away, you...

    how to detect easily damaged cable under floorboards

    Whether you know what he's going to do or not, if he's gonna rip you off he can just make up some complicated sounding problem and do a load of unnecessary work and charge you a bomb for it. Sounds to me like you're wanting to try and tackle it yourself. No offence but the old 'i'm going to get...

    Fact is all successful businesses leverage debt. Avoidance of debt is what those with zero business acumen practice. It's the reason really rich people pay no tax while poor people complain about them paying no tax.
