In defence of the short course trainee

[Breaker]

[/B]

No they are not - I have taken these exams and the course materials and tuition leading to them certainly require no previous knowledge/experience/qualifications. There is an alternative to the Fundamental Inspection, Testing and Initial Verification course which is intended for people with previous knowledge/experience/qualifications. You really should refrain from posting on topics you know nothing about.



I could pass comment on the basis I suspect JIB cards and the like are awarded, but it would be edited, so I won't. As for your chosen employee, he's welcome to you.




How much are you paid by your clandestine trade union to try to defame people for trying to make an honest living? You certainly seem to spend a lot of time on this forum for someone who claims to make a living at a job that takes you away from your computer.


The problem with people of your g*n*r*tion is that you are so selfish and greedy. You refuse to teach us the way you were taught, then when we find other ways of learning, at our own expense, you can't bare it. You just want all the work and money for yourselves. You are young, you can starve, that's your attitude. Well sorry, but I ain't gonna die willingly. And I ain't gonna stop taking a pride in the way I make my living.


One more thing - you should think carefully about the legal implications of accusing someone of incompetence without any actual evidence, when that person's livelihood depends on their reputation.


This will be my last post on this thread. I trust that your second use of the phrase ""End Of" means you feel the same way.

Yeah this lot are tired out old farts with a huge chip on their shoulder. An old closed shop mentality. No point new electricians hanging around here on these forums.

i may be a tired out old fart, but the only chips are from the local takeaway. in all fairness, there are guys who've done short courses and also had practical experience as mates who make good sparks. theose i take exception to are them who go on a short course from a totally unrelated background, think they know it all, then come on here asking basic questions that a 2nd year apprentice would laugh at.

Do you reckon the plumbers forums argue like us lot about 5wws ??
Or is it just us miserable sparks?

All the Electrical Trainee's i know are Bell endZ, and i am sick of this arguement about how we are all old farts we are not the ones that are chargeing the public and treating their homes like a class room.
Ps Breaker regarding Tel he is actually a well respected and wise old fart, you would be wise to learn from him rather than mock him.
if my post upsets anyone's delicate nature i really don't give a fu@k

In reply to Dazza

In fairness the plumbing job is now a lot easier with all the plastic and push fit used now. Electrical work is still more or less the same ( apart from all the push fit wagos )

Youre safe for the minute, pepz has gone off in a hissy fit somewhere ......

Yes that may be very true. However, electrical trainee or whatever are shot down before anyone knows anything about their history. Yeah I agree that the system has big flaws in it but it don't apply to every one of them.

That was just proof that jumping to a conclusion that I am a youth was an example of getting it totally wrong.

I wasn't mocking anyone, just a bit of humour.

But he is still in my good books, anyone who comments on me being younger than I am is a bonus...........:smile5:
