Discuss "Domestic installer " due to be binned? in the Domestic Electrician Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
make it 7. can't have traineees lying in bed late on a Sunday. how can they face the real world then?What’s a domestic installers course ? Is it one of those 5 day fast track oven baked things
imo 5 days isn’t long enough to become a qualified electrician. It should be 6 days
I heard from someone who had a NICEIC inspector around .The inspector said they are planning on not accepting DI qualification only and REMOVING those who only have the DI qualification from their scheme ?????Who are the "powers that be" and any references for this information?
Only thing I've heard in relation to DI is that the NICEIC (not sure about the other CPS') are changing their entry requirements for the domestic installers scheme so from Sept this year an NVQ level 3 or equivalent is required, effectively making it impossible for a person that has done only a DI course to join.
They won't accept the DI course as it's not an NVQ or equivalent. Those on the scheme already will not be removed, the changes only affect people joining the scheme after 1st sept 21.I heard from someone who had a NICEIC inspector around .The inspector said they are planning on not accepting DI qualification only and REMOVING those who only have the DI qualification from their scheme ?????
That makes sense. The "Binning" idea sounds really bad news for guys who have joined etcThey won't accept the DI course as it's not an NVQ or equivalent. Those on the scheme already will not be removed, the changes only affect people joining the scheme after 1st sept 21.
It is a bit of a half hearted attempt to fix a problem that they created IMO, those already in the scheme should be given a period of time to update or even demonstrate they are bringing their qualifications up to the required minimum standard for membership, I don't think a keep on paying your fees and you will be ok to carry on is good enough you could end up with a part of the scheme membership that is below the required new entry level for potentially 30 - 40 yearsThey won't accept the DI course as it's not an NVQ or equivalent.

Panic will ensue surely in the DI fraternity?the scams created this mess in order to line theirown pockets. time they dug deep into their ill-gotton gains and subsidised training to bring short course domestic installers up to scratch.
Surely those in panic will be the training companies it will be harder to sell that dream nowPanic will ensue surely in the DI fraternity?
.....that flooded the domestic market with primarily untrained and incompetent domestic installers. I wont call them sparks because they aren't for obvious reasons.
The training takes to long and doesn't fit in with "it's only two wires how complicated can it be" for a lot of peoplewhy can’t we just go back to the days of an electrician was an electrician
Because as a nation we're losing traditional skills and the education system is designed solely to teach kids how to look up the answerwhy can’t we just go back to the days of an electrician was an electrician
THis 100% . The whole route to been qualified is a mess . I think it should only have one road and a government controlled body.Not private businesses been "in charge "Because as a nation we're losing traditional skills and the education system is designed solely to teach kids how to look up the answer
Because kids aren't taught that electricians are gods, instead they're sold the dream of university debt
Because Mrs Jones thinks it's easy because it's on YouTube so wants it cheap
Because why be a trade college with an intake of 50-60 apprentice's a year with no money when you can advertise lies on the internet and have an intake of 50-60 a month with a credit card
Because.....
Because.....
Wholeheartedly agree well said Luke.THis 100% . The whole route to been qualified is a mess . I think it should only have one road and a government controlled body.Not private businesses been "in charge "
Paid being the operative word, " you pays yer money"i worked with a domestic installer, he replaced an rcd, those old boards with the rigid neutrals, think they are wylex?, anyway he obviously struggled to get it in so just pushed the neutral link behind the rcd and left it. did he seriously think nobody would find out?
got called to a job of no lights working after an mcb change aswell, he didnt even tighten it, just plopped the cable in the top terminal, job jobbed!
always disappearing to the wholesaler for silicone, think he paid about 3 grand for his "ticket"
A bit of a blanket statement there...
There are some good people on here who have taken the short course and then gone on to expand their knowledge and experience. I take my hat off to them and would class them as sparks.
