As far as I’m concerned a DI is a non entity.

Anyone looking for new career reading this will think cu change= £70 an hour. Must be balanced by borrowed neutrals, it's just been decorated, nicked cable in pattress somewhere etc.

But anyone with half a brain will realise that to go SE after a fast track course could mean months of sitting around earning nothing....

Not looking for argument Mr. Murdoch, sense you have years of experience and earnings in the trade, but people who've never been self employed but find themselves in a rut don't think that way.

but they'll happily pay £70+ / hour to get the BMW serviced.

No they probably don't think that way (and i do hold fast track training companies to blame for setting very unrealistic expectations) BUT if you go around ripping people off you won't get many recommendations.

Bronze: Domestic Installer Course

Damn I never realized things had got that bad!
I really should pull my head out of the factory sometime and see whats going on in the world.

No disrespect to you "She" But I dont see how anyone could be deemed as competent in the space of 18 days to be a domestic sparky?
I did the full training courses 2391 en all and would not feel comfortable working in someones house.
Now its not that I would be incompetent in a electrical sense but its totally different to what I am used to.
Now theres lots of different houses, made from lots of different materials and lots of different ways of doing things and thats where you need someone to show you the ropes in terms of what you can and cant do.
You have a mentor and thats great, I hope she teaches you these kind of things but I think a 18 day to qualify course is madness!

Oh and on a side note regarding survival of the fittest....
I think Darwin never accounted for the H&S loons who protect the most stupid in society, Ya know those people who should of been hit by a bus crossing the street by now....

To be fair to the garages, that £70 p/h has to support the premises, the diagnostic machinery and each make's disc etc. Re Telectrix' post, no-one thinks " I'll become a mechanic" because no course promises such outcome.
