I have found the basic information and also how much they earn. thanks
what is this "domestic installer" you talk of?What is my best bet. Because with the apprenticeship there like hens teeth all these courses are supposed to be a quick route and there not cheap I couldn' go to college as I work all week. Thanks

Ahh the good old I cant do it properly because I go to work excuse. Then maybe either make the sacrifice to your job to ensure you can make time to do it properly, too many people think theres a quick fix method to becoming a electrician, when in reality there isnt. Many of us didnt spend many years going to college and learning the trade along side experienced people for a laugh you know.
Totally disagree with this mate. The circumstance of people differ and these shorter courses will suit some people, as long as they know the limitations of the course.
Utter crap, sorry. How would you prove comptance if something went ---- up. Ohh but the bloke at the Electrical Trainee trainging center said I was a qualified electrician. Were talking about something you cant smell or see only feel which can be fatal here, or is that ok cos he didnt have time to learn the trade and all the sciences behind it properly?
Think you misread my post mate. I'm not saying anyone who does a Electrical Trainee should then think they are capable of doing a full rewire on a house. "as long as they know the limitations of the course."
Come on Mike, thats the sort of attitude which has led to this thing happening in the first place, we need to make a stand and try and resolve this quick fix issue.I think a DI card should be handed out, if you do a DI course, the card should say for Domestic work only (for example) this will calm the commercial and industrial guys who have done proper full length apprenticeships and only allow the DIs to work on the type of installation they have been trained on. for what it is worth I also hate the name DI, but it is what the short course training centres call their trainees when the courses are complete, so we will just have to learn to live with it.
But we dont know the OPs limitations do we? So we have to give the advice thats appropriate to what we know about them.
