Old school and the nvq

[tuckermot]

Just interested to know how many old school are going to to do a nvq 3 ??? I only work for my self doing odd jobs here and there and can not see it benifitting me . I can understand if you want to work for a employer as they are asking for it know but would you really bother with it

Hi Richard
Good to see you are still around, how did that job go at the doctors surgery?
I agree as I work for my self can't do NVQ unless I want to pay Megger bucks.

Hi t+e
good to hear from you to bud
yes i did help out at the rewire of doctors i
run the plastic conduit for 4 rooms in a day for sockets ect then got knocked mate !!! so lesson learned there !! I have still got my normal day job not electrical , but just doing odd jobs electricaly.I have applied for loads of jobs but i know i am being discriminated because i am in my fortys now and they are asking so much work for a lot less than what i earn non electricaly.i applied fora testing job here in essex but they want you to do pir,s on 3 propertys a day for £90.00 they are on a nother planet !! I really feel for full time electricians it is hard enough for me just to get my foot in the door but being full time at this game and having no work well thats really bad are you in essex ????
