[Scorpion90]

hi i have just got registered with nic. my question is ,can i certify small shops with no flat above (single phase).?? thanks

 

[Andy78]

thanks for your answers... the thing is i m not asking you how to wire....u dont know how competed i m ..and how experienced im.. i m only asking for paper works .. mr. smart.

The answer to your question does not lay in paperwork, it lays with competency.
How about you detail your experience and qualifications to help us with that.

You're spelling/grammar etc could do with a bit of improvement too!!

I used to get so hacked off with the fact that a majority of the first year of my apprenticeship was spent completing 'Key Skills' at the age of 24 - that is basic Maths, English and IT competence exams and coursework. Now I understand how important these skills are and why it took longer to complete the modules than it would take me to sign up to a 17 day course and graduate as an electrician!

Scorpion, i am also a 'wannabe electrician' (thankyou Mr DS ) i.e a domestic Installer and my tutor made it very clear to me that my remit is solely domestic premises. I think it is very important for people like us to know our limitations, we should not be going any where near industrial or commercial premises, regardless of what we think our capabilities are.

never a truer word was spoken,I know you've had a bit of stick on here in the past,BUT in my opinion a lot of the issues people have with what have become known as Electrical Trainee is that once they have done their short course some of them think they can leap straight into any form of electrical work.Knowing your limitations is key.

Things were much different in my day, to be offered an indentured apprenticeship with any decent company, you needed to have achieved a minimum standard of education, or successfully pass a company entry exam. That exam also covered the college's courses minimal entry requirements. Now day's any Tom Dick or Harry can take any course they take a fancy too, be they capable of of following and understanding the course work or not!!

Totally agree with Phil. Electrical Trainee or not, competency is all about knowing when you are out of your depth - the OP is clearly out of his depth, but he will no doubt end up completing work in this shop!

That’s what worries me!

Pheasant season doesn’t start until the “glorious 12[SUP]th[/SUP]”, can we start the peasant (Electrical Trainee) season early?



PLEASE!

When you say 'domestic electrician' do you mean an electrician who just does domestic, or do you mean a domestic installer (DI).
A domestic installer just does domestic properties - houses and that. Not commercial or industrial.

Don't know about you Adam, but lots of folk on here will tell you there isn't such an animal as a DI, you either an Electrician or you aint me included.

Is it just another NICEIC thing so that they can get more money from people??...

 

[Pete999]

Yep I know should be stamped, wasters

Certification aside , if your competent and a properly qualified sparks then I would have thought this would not be a question anybody would be asking , forget the Domestic classification or whatever you seem fit to call yourself , nobody out there should be doing this work if there not properly qualified to do so ..

Anyone can fill in a a EIC, don't have to be a member of any of the scams to do it. But can you prove your competence to a court if the brown stuff hits the fan?

You're spelling/grammar etc

I'm sorry but if you're going to make the bullets you know I'm prepared to fire them.
