Qualified or Not!!

[MerlinGremlin]

A friend of mine has just rang me and asked if someone has the 16th Edition Regs qualification but not the 17th Edition Regs qualification and they do not have the 2391 or 2395/6 should they be working on electrical installs and signing jobs off? I have told him that he needs the 17th Edition Regs no matter what and preferably the 2395/6 qualification to be doing electrical installs and signing them off. What's other people's take on this?

Qualified with no experience, in my book is not qualified, todays breed. (just an example)

She didn't have any qualms then

Should do a way with the term qualified, it literally means nothing in todays world.

Competent.

Competent to me always sounds like your at DIY level, I have never liked the term competent as it gives no merit or value to proper training

Whatever term that is used some one will reduce it's value the regs have changed to use the term skilled but no doubt that term will be meaning less in a year or two
