Become a fully qualified electrician in just 6 weeks

[uksel]

does anyone else think these courses should be outlawed?

how people can honestly think you can go from zero knowledge to competent in these short periods of time is beyond me

at least two year training schemes should be mandatory for domestic

perhasp a system where you need three years for commercial and four for industrial





I personally think these courses devalue my profession, of which I for one am proud!

any thoughts...?

and let's face it, this electrics thingy. It's not exactly rocket science is it? :d

mind you, i'm a bit upset that at 38 i have no chance of becoming a good electrician. I wonder what plumbing's like :d

of course, all the above is meant in good humour.

go for plumbing!!! More money easy work, get gas safe as well and your minted..!! Also most are defined scope part p and get to bodge electrics as a hobby also!!

i should lnow how shoddy Mr electric was!! i worked for the franchise for 3 days!!! yup 3 whole days!! most work was taken up by homeserve insurance crap (as he some how was a prefered contractor) but the guy who owned the franchise was greedy

his words!! if the RCD stays on just fill test form in later! get another job done!! I left shortly after that!!

 

[Amp David]

Homeserve thought them had gone under.

Nice bit of quality control

Thought i saw something on the news last year about them cutting job s to stay alive, must have been mistaken.

Yeah, had the letter saying we'll cover you for home plumbing and drainage on behalf of United Utilities.

Don't think the water supply will be freezing as its 4 feet under the ground and why would I have any plumbing problems when its only been in or 4-5 years.

Clowns

These money making scams should be stopped,
giving a misleading impression that you can earn a shed load of money if you become an Electrician, Plumber, carpenter etc when in reality it takes years to become fully trained & competent in your chosen field,
I know guys that are fully qualified Electricians (on paper) but have little or no pratical experience & struggle daily to get a start anywhere, most of them the victims of this type of advertising.
