New career skills (court action)??

[stuartgil]

Hi people of the real electrical world! Just wondering if any one has done the electrician course with NCS as I have and not been able to get a job as an electrician as their web site suggests?? I have spoken to another mature student and he is on about getting a court case against them? As their web site states "train to be an electrician and earn 30k+ a year" this is surely false advertising as the qualification is not recognised within the true electrical industry and even if you were to register with a scheme you are still not deemed an "electrician"! Thoughts of you wise ppl please!

I still find it hard to believe that people actually fall for this! I find it difficult to have any sympathy for people that are willing to fork serious amounts of money, in the belief that they can become an electrician in 5 weeks. This alone proves they have absolutely no idea about the trade. 5 weeks, rightO

When times are hard, people grasp at straws, kinda like a goldrush. It's not their fault totally, but advertising should be more regulated.

Hi Des, I have registered with a few agencies, I am in South Wales but work is few an far between at the moment this side of the bridge and no I have not registered with any of the schemes as they just want money again from you and yes I do have a CsCs card! I work in the construction trade any way but the electricians I know are tight for work and don't have the room for an extra body!!

But ordinary people trying their best to succeed in life are falling for such things, its how the deception becomes profitable I find it difficult to have any sympathy for people that are willing to fork serious amounts of money, in the belief that they can become an electrician in 5 weeks.I do sympathise with them,a lot of hard earned money for ordinary people is a tragedy if it is seen to be wasted This alone proves they have absolutely no idea about the trade. 5 weeks, They become aware of the dirty deed,after not before the money is spent rightO

I was left money an at a vulnerable time I think the salesman seen that an went in all guns blazing and I agree with Phoenix that advertising should be regulated then you would truly understand what you are signing up for!! But hey ho a very hard lesson learnt and I hope others read this thread an learn from it, take the only route which is college and not these Electrical Trainee!

Believe me,I know where you are coming from, literally

It may well be the case that you are down the list with your applications at the moment,but times change and with it the demands of the employers
Also opportunity can open up sometimes when you least expect them to
What sector are you trying to enter?

I'm not going to close it unless it starts becoming a moderating liability. We have a whole sub-forum for Electrical Courses Feedback so I've just relocated it to the correct place.
