I'd seen 1 of the above before I went to Elex ......... and paid a visit to the Napit stand .........they weren't impressed with some photo's I showed them ..................but the customer has to complain........
I totally understand why the customer has to complain.... prevents contractors faking claims to undermine their competitors ........ but surely we should be allowed to complain on behalf of a customer, as a professional with an educated viewpoint, and surely some customers are of a vulnerable nature and need representation.
Most customers who I inform have been ripped off don't want to complain due to embarrassment, even when I tell them it's only them that can stop others being ripped off, they don't want the hassle.
I would like to know (obvious answer ) how a approved contractor that gets removed from the role as the boss will not comply with the Q.S system of replacing Q.S. when existing retires and non-compliant with regs and making up certs can then join NAPIT?

I did suggest this. He has in the past subbed out the electrics, but he has had issues where believe it or not he had idiot Electrical Trainee's pretending to be fully qualified causing more trouble than its worth. I used to do bits for him but hes moved down exeter now with his wife who works for the met office. so bit far for me now.
He is somebody who likes it done his exact way to his own standards and is bit of a OCD nutter... He works on his own with an apprentice.
People think nothing of paying 10 or 15k for a immaculate show home kitchen, but ask them to spend a couple hundred on electrics they think you are a crook! they cant see the wiring but can see the nice oak cupboards...
I don't totally agree with the argument, that every person who goes the short course route, does not become a competent electrician. With time & experience they will, how they achieve this experience without detriment to a paying customer, is perhaps the argument?
However, I can't see a kitchen fitter doing enough electrical work, to get to any level of experience required, to become a competent electrician. So in your example, I am very much against training such persons on short courses. My opinion.
I do quite a bit of work for a particular kitchen & bathroom installation company. They employ the various trades to carry out an installation. If they are not happy with the quality of work of a trades person, they will found someone else.

I suppose in reality Ant you can go from 1 scam to another as long as you grease the sticky pole with enough cash, I know who you are talking about, so I'm equally astonished as you are, still you are out of it now, don't let it eat you up.
They don't bother about that. They have credibility in the publics eyes. They don't care what electricians think about them as they really know they can do better but their profits would go down... All about money!
