NICEIC Certification Scheme Joining NICEIC

You have the 2391, plenty don't mate and plenty failed to pass it and that's something the NIC once upon wanted to see a QS have.

At least you don't hide behind the NIC logo like plenty do. A lot of small potatoes get a mug to front it for them because with out the logo they couldn't get a start as a Spark so use the logo to ponce a living.

Have you seen the EAL equivalent to the city& guilds 2394&2595 test and inspection, you get 2 take the guidance note 3 book in the exam lol. This is a bit of a farce.

Only by those that think they are above everyone else. Some people on here no matter what is brought in by the way of qualifications even if it were a 10 year 7 day a week work program would never admit it to being any good.

Anyway those are the past and we are the future.

The Fact is, there's a few people on here who are Engineers and Technicians and well above the majority in terms of Knowledge, Qualifications, Experiences and worth listening to for help and advice imo

I do agree on most parts, but IMO approved contractor is still regarded higher than other part p scams and their own domestic installer status. Plus you have to have an Nvq 3 to become principal duty holder or a QS for approved contractor status. Ps I also know how you feel about the Nvq 3 lol.

Go back 30 years and find out what was required to even be assessed as an Aproveed Contractor let alone the assessment itself and compare those requirements to those of today and then tell me that i'm wrong!!! Facts speak for themselves!!

Say's the man that holds Approved Contractor status but has to ask the question, of what do you record for a full scale IR on a EICR!!


I rest my case!! lol!!:smilewinkgrin:

Agreed. The thing is I think that those that are helping the next generation on here are great. There are a lot on here however that look down their nose at the younger amongst us and will never except that things move on.

That is not true though is it? I asked what others put and it actually turned out there were a hell of a lot of different answers. The question was out of interest of other peoples input.

Please don't make it personal.

No insinuations meant. I was clear. There are people on here with a 'I am God' attitude. Am I going be rude and name names while I sit behind a keyboard, No. If I cannot tell someone to their face that they are being a d**k then I won't attempt to be a pretend hard man through the monitor.

 

[Engineer54]

NO there are people here that have strong opinions based on proven Fact and not afraid to stand up/by those long standing ways of doing things.... If you interpret that as being god, then that's your problem. End Of!!...

Again. I am not talking about people's knowledge but there own perceptions of their own knowledge and the hostility in which they hold anyone else's knowledge or difference of opinion.

Opinions are not FACT.

 

[Engineer54]

Proven facts Are!! lol!!

I never said you was wrong. I just said that IMO I think the approved contractor status is still regarded higher than other scams and the niceic's own domestic installer approval. It may not be regarded higher amongst some electricians/engineers but it certainly is when tendering for certain jobs/projects (even though this shouldn't be the case). It was only the the other day I was reading a thread on here where someone had been knocked back twice working for two different insurance companies as he wasn't a NICEIC approved contractor. Zurich's 10year guarantee for new builds used to specify the electrical installation had to be carried out by an NICEIC approved contractor (this might not be the case now but certainly was only a few years ago when I done a new build block of 75 flats). This might have something to do with the NIC and zurich being in cahoots though lol.

I know what yours saying, that's mainly because of all the spin marketing the NIC gets up too...

That's mainly because the NICEIC's ''Approved Contractor'' scheme has been around a good deal longer than any of the others. Basically the NICEIC are cashing in on the standards they no longer apply. Many of these organisations that call for NICEIC AC have no idea what they are specifying, they just mistaking believe that they are being covered by insisting on NICEIC as an industry Standard!!.... Unfortunately what was once considered as a standard of excellence, doesn't hold water anymore....
