ELECSA Certification Scheme A message to all Elecsa registered electricians!! A must read!!

[Jonny66]

Ezzzekiel, good for you, a man of principle is pretty rare these days hats off to ya...

My renewals up in June and the way things are going I will be joining you. Lets face it the primary reason I'm an electrician is to make a living...not just to continually fill the pockets of every suited wonker who comes up with some new useless qualification or requirement.

I think this electrical safety register in principle is a good idea, but at present it is just another register to confuse the homeowner and has been set up under the guise of "customer awareness", but is blatantly an apparatus set to eventually fleece the electrician even more

i left 2 years ago for all the same reasons,
do i still carry out domestic work = yes
do i still complete certification = yes
does my work comply with bs7671 = yes
is my work load the same regardless = yes
stuff all the scheme providers (i agree in principal)n but as it stands no and if i end up in court for not paying fees to idiots telling me how to do a job im fully qualified to do then so be it
unfortunately we need millions of members to walk to see any results.

I might be joining you soon my man! I don't think it will be long before those millions you speak of wake up and smell the freaking coffee!!

This could become a deluge of disgruntled sparks finally saying,enough is enough

I personally lack the motivation or courage to follow the example,(too old I suppose) but I wholeheartedly support ezzzekiel and his attitude,you have my respect for your two fingers up to all this nonsense

Perhaps a register of qualified sparks who wont take part in a not fit for purpose charade is a better alternative than the present membership scrum register

 

[Jonny66]

This has got to roll, Enough is Enough.....I'm in.....get on the Elecsa web site forum and give it to them

Don't think for one minute that Elecsa will take a blind bit of notice to letters or phone calls complaining about this register...unfortunately, it's too late in the day, the deal is already done and they believe its what we've all been asking for (nobody asked me though!)
In 18 months time well have something like the NICECA with DI or AC status depending on how much you want to pay and there will most definitely be some made up new qualifications needed for AC status thrown in to boot.

In my opinion the best and only way to show how you feel about all this crap, is to leave at the next assessment/renewal time, withdraw your financial support from all the scams and make a stand. Continue to work to BS7671 and Part P etc, have your insurance, certify work as normal and shove the LABC notification up the arsenal of the nearest NIC inspector free of charge. I've yet to meet any client who gives a ---- about notification....and as for warranty's bet they become the new PPI claims in the future.

its got nowt to do with what we`v all been askin for.....
simply `caus we wouldn`t have asked for this tripe.....
it might have more to do with the governments review of part pee getting the wind up em though.....

i sent them an email pointing out that elecsa logo is tiny and no aproved status the first day it went online. Still no response, i wonder why?

 

[Simlec]

I see the register is owned by the niceic and so I can see now why there members look the best on the site. Is Elecsa been phased out or taken over by the niceic?

 

[Jonny66]

18months NIC-ECA bet ya

 

[i=p/u]

i dont see point in paying for it unless you feel you gain from it.... most sparks i know dont have it and all their customers truust their work is spot on..

but to get council work yo have to have it, you see the scam going on and it wasnt seen,,

 

[Simlec]

Don't you mean NIC-HMRC-ECA
