Let me reach for my cheque book - NOT

[Pete999]

you have to remember that this is advanced Electrical Trainee stuff. after the part p qualification, but before being let loose.

You couldn't make this carp up if you tried could you? C&Gs accessory change quals next, there will be some clowns paying £250:00 for the privilege of being qualified to change a switch, more stickers for the vans, we wont be getting so many 5wws, it will be switch changers the new range of electrical DIs, part P and all the other carp

And of course for any non Sparky doing the course, they will need the correct Test gear.

I'm pretty sure this isn't aimed at electricians, more at PAT testers and caretakers.

PAT testers aren't allowed to remove faceplates, they ain't qualified.
It's all NICEIC BOLLOX!

What qualification do you think you need to remove a faceplate then, or is it a question of 'competence'?
Replacing a faceplate like for like isn't rocket science, and a 2 day course should go some way to prove competence.

You can see why they're offering this course - loads of 'unskilled operatives' have been on here asking what qualifications they need to do basic stuff like this, the NICEIC are responding to demand.

 

[telectrix]

a course such as this should be aimed at DIYers. any Electrical Trainee that has been granted niceic membership should be capable . if not, why in hell's name have niceic classed him as competent?..................£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££s.

This has been covered before in relation to PAT geezers.
Light bulb moment, maybe that's who they're targeting?

It's still bollox.

and once having passed that, the opportunity to take the advanced course... how to use power tools without injury. ..... drills..the curly round thing fits into the pointy end of the tool. the trigger turns the curly round thing in order to make holes. the heavy lump under the tool is a battery. it's not a mallet.

Hey Tel,that could be the answer to my cash flow problems,should I get in there before someone else does?

I think you'll find this one will be more than £250.

Remember, there is working at heights, safe use of ladders, avoiding trip hazards in occupied areas.
Then many lamps contain hazardous materials that need safe disposal.
I think perhaps the first module will have to be how to conduct a risk assessment.

Joking apart a few years ago I did some volunteer work with the local fire service,the most bizarre thing I ever heard was when they banned the use of stepladders to fit smoke alarms! Now I've been on jobs where the lads have been on an ALP directing water jets into a burning building,smoke and flames all around them,yet they can,t climb a small pair of steps in someones hall to fit a smoke alarm!
