JIB new rules / how to fight with them ?

[kulak]

Hello guys

Recently 2 of my friends have been to Sidcup to apply in person and to pay 230 pounds (!!!!!) to have in the same day the JIB card. Both of them are fully qualified ( 2391, 2391, 17 edition ) and a lot of experience as well. They received BOTH Electrical Labourer card ( ????!!!!! ) . What the hell is going on ? They tried to speak to them but nobody want to speak with them ??? In there were 4 ladies ( around 50-60 years old ) . One came later dressed look like she just came from "street", you know what i mean, also looks like she had a very busy night in pub. My friends been very upsets with their grades. I said to them to return the cards and to ask for refund, as is not fair to be treaten like this. We have to play every day with the death, we are all the time in danger to die, and they dont want to recognise our merits ! Shame on them ! Also i hold an Gold JIB card, witch is expired 1 month ago. Im afraid that they will give me now an basic card on the renewal. If this happend, i will send back to them CUTTED in xxxx pieces with many "thanks ". I have nothing to loose.

It won't let you get money out of a cash machine, and if you try, the machine will eat it.
Not too bad if the machine's outside a bank, and the bank's open.
You can get them to unlock the machine and get your card back.
If the bank's closed, or you're at a petrol station or supermarket, forget it.

I think his total disrespect and rude comments about the JIB ladies (who I'm sure made the right decision) is disgusting.
With his attitude best he does not become an electrician, he'd get us all a bad name.
His English would let him down anyway.
Guess whether I feel sorry for him?

Ha ha......should i feel sorry for those ladies ? NO. Instead of sleeping on the chairs at least can help you and can answer to our questions. We have to spend a lot of time in the school and a lot of money to do all the courses, and i thing we deserve some answers. I really dont know why you you are close to the ladies with your comments, is your problem. Also i thing you are disgusting with your comments. And just to let you know, im already an electrician. Also i dont think that to be an good electrician the english must be 100% perfect. I do speak 4 languages. If you dont fell sorry, is your problem. Any more comment from you welcome

Kulak, I am assuming that English is not your first language ( I am only saying this as it may be an explanation for a communication confusion) but please correct me if I am wrong. To address your point I think it needs to be understood that theoretical courses do not make an electrician ,although they are important they need to be combined with practical experience. Practical experience is required and that is demonstrated either through obtaining an NVQ 3 or by employer endorsement. This may be the reason for your friends not receiving the grading that they expected. I am sure that the "Ladies" were only following procedure... and on that point neither their gender nor the way they looked has any relevance.
