ECA and ESC announce major partnership

[NICEIC ENGINEER]

As announced yesterday the ECA and ESC have formed a new partnership for the good of the industry.

From April next year the NICEIC and ELECSA brands will be operated by a new venture called Certsure giving the industry a stronger voice to government and major stakeholders.

The move will bring many benefits to NICEIC and ELECSA registrants, the first of which is the creation of www.electricalsafetyregister.com a definitive searchable database of more than 30 000 registered electricians.

As part of our policy to be open and informative about the merger we have set up this thread for anyone to ask any questions or queries they might have.

A member of the NICEIC team will monitor the site at various points over the next week and provide answers to any questions you might have about the move.

We want you to get involved and look forward to hearing from you.

They were probably holding their horses waiting to see how the fond fool from NICIEC was treated and now that they know they've beaten a hasty retreat.

I have to say: I think this has been one of the best and most enjoyable threads on this forum for quite a while, and for its entertainment value it ranks right up there alongside the Roman spectacle of feeding Christians to lions.

I can't wait for round two. :26:

I think that it is clear to everyone WHY the scams avoid contact with real sparks .... :rofl:

Just as an update. The ESC has posted some information about why it felt it necessary to set up the Electrical Safety Register following failed negotiations with other scheme providers.

Hi

the link above has the bit - "The first meeting of the Electrical Safety Roundtable, in June, was not attended at Director/CEO level by major industry players, the ECA and NICEIC. The meeting notes included vague action points, and no attempt was made to verify their accuracy with attendees, or to set up a forum to comment on the register that NAPIT launched in November."

Can I ask, why was the meeting in June not attended at Director/CEO level, and if not, who was there in their place, or was no one at all there from ECA or the NICEIC?

If someone was there, did they communicate the meeting content upwards or keep it to themselves?

What was the precise wording of the "vague action points".

Many thanks NICEIC Engineer, I look forward to your response!

Just read this link...

All i can see is more fluff, and plenty of miss-information, obviously to try and make NICEIC look better than the other side.

Reading all this sh!t confirms my life long desire of never going into management.

 

[SPARTYKUS]

Oh man you got it there. I reached the highest level I could without entering management. Then stuck.

What a load of bovine excrement. Do you/they honestly think that anyone is going to read that and think "Good old NIC, they really tried their best. I'm so glad they have the best interest of the public and trade professionals at heart!"?

I would just like to make a personal request. You're having my pants down and there's not a fat lot I can do about it. That doesn't give you the right to treat me as if I'm an idiot, nor does it mean that I will blindly accept your assertion that it's for my own good. So please do me the courtesy of getting on with your plans without taking the Mick.
