Totally agree. I've always said it's not time served that makes your work good - if you care about good work you'll find out how it's done and make it good. It's people who can't be arsed or who take shortcuts who do bad work irrespective of their qualifications.As an aside, this is the reason i don't instantly berate DIYers, short courses or anything like that. You get corner cutters and bodgers everywhere.
I'll always remember going to a house wired in the 60's by an old boy with no qualifications, just a good base knowledge and plenty of Readers Digest guides. It was his own house and as such, he was invested in making it top quality- and honestly- it belonged in an art gallery. Absolute work of art, even the slip tubing in the garage. Everything was neat as .
Similarly today, I'm about to go and tidy up a connection made by a retired electrician of 45 years who was working maintenance here before he fully retired - choc block connecting some RFC singles together, not encased I'm anything and just lobbed above the suspended ceiling grid.
