NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC Assesment expectations

[Madocks]

Thing is we have no idea of the OP's ability to install electrical stuff. He has the qualifications?

He doesnt have the quals though, his install course is a 5 day course, I doubt the NIC would allow membership based on that. Its not a level 3 qual.

Thing is we have no idea of the OP's ability to install electrical stuff. He has the qualifications? But he's not done the 'preferred' electrical apprenticeship. But he might just be able to install stuff to a competent standard.

I do grow tired of the same ole replies coming out, with these types of threads.

You right we don’t know comptance of the OP, we can only make a judgement on the info provided by them, here it is a pointless Electrical Trainee course, more questions have been asked and all they have said is they have a degree of some sort. Hardly inspiring of someone who knows how to safely carry out electrics installations.

Thank you Gavin your response is very helpful. Some have left irrelevant and discouraging replies that do not help at all and are completely off topic.

So you claim not to want to work as a spark, but you are happy to waste £500 on scheme membership you don't need

This is all very smelly

Can’t see his assessment going much further than tea and biscuits to be honest..

There's some members here who might disagree with the viewpoint apprenticeship versus 5 week courses etc. I'd have to understand OP's irrational before disagreeing.

I was merely stating the facts as to how or whether you could join a scheme such as niceic i was not in any advocating that you do join as if you start doing work for others you need to know what you are doing. No doubt with your background the technical side and calculations are fine. The job is more nuanced than that thought the judgements you make come with experience

Flippin spell check, his intentions, is this for a business or just a hobby?

 

[Midwest]

Are you for real? I posted an honest and sensible response and you call me a cock ?

Did he call you a 'cock'?

They get you to sit there own 'level 3' equivalent course online at home so you can look up the answers to join the scheme, its the same as elecsa as i know somebody who went down the elecsa route. all they ask for is your bs7671(17th) and a testing qualification... then the insurance, tester etc.. followed by there online exam. then show a job, write the cheque you are in.

A scam then? Money for old rope in other words, talk about down grading a once respected Trade, makes you wonder if your Apprenticeship was worth the bother, just attend a few meaningless courses, write a cheque Bob's yer Uncle job done, buy a Van plonk the logo on it quids in, glad I have had my time, must look for a Doctors course, shouldn't be that difficult, and I hear the NHS is cash strapped. Get the picture sit a few open book exams, pay up and you are in a well paid job, that is until you are found out, but hey there are always forums to join to get on the rifhttrack after you have fooked up, or find you can't do a brain transplant and need some help.

I'm in a scam. I've put a lot of effort into getting here, and my business. Paid for some additional training, at one of these Electrical Trainee places. I found the tuition quite good. Buy my own books, publications etc. Try and keep myself up to date on new legislation,
been compliant with all mandatory, H&S training as required.

I suspect there's few employees, who do that and pay for it.

If the fees for these schemes, were a lot less than they are, I wonder if they would come in for so much criticism; somewhat academic argument I accept, but perhaps true.

I'm proud of my work, mostly. Always room for improvement.

I'm certain that he didn't. Which makes Madocks post pointless and just stirring it up really.

Thanks Madcocks

A deliberate typo, I feel op is a pretty clever troll
