Stroma Certification Scheme Stroma is it possible to fail assessment

[Pete999]

My boss always has the day off on our annual assessment says he cannot stand the atmosphere. Last year two of the girls left the office when we got into a heated debate over something or other. We no longer have the same person showing up anymore, no idea why.

Some Boss you had then?

He leaves me to it which suites me fine

Probably, that's why these Schemes are a waste of space ALL of them, imo anyway. DO a short course pass the course pay your fees, and your in.

Oh dear 4 disagrees must be slipping.

Oh dear 4 disagrees must be slipping.

Anyone who disagrees just need educating to the real reason the CPS's are here.

I am with Stroma and they do the desktop assessment which to be honest saves alot of time for us and them. I have been with them for 2 years and before I was with NAPIT who were good but why pay more for exactly the same thing!?

To be fair Pete it is probably because you've never had to be part of it if your a one-man band the buck stops with one person if you were in the same position as me you are always fighting against other people ie the bosses of what the correct way you should be doing something and what they want to pay to do it.

His initials weren't L.T. was it? if so he managed to get to be an area engineer in the area where he lived.

No they weren't.

I was partly responsible for an Niceic domestic spark being booted recently!
The customer called me up asking me to take a look at a Re-wire just done, it was truly awful and dangerous.
I emailed the pics to the NICEIC, asking them to contact the customer.
Apparently the Niceic inspector said it was the worst he has seen!
Spark was very quickly removed from the scheme, NICEIC paid a firm to re-do the rewire along with all plastering etc all free to the customer.

I will get around to making a thread one day with all the pics.....

The good old platinum promise.. not many people make use of it as other sparks are slow to report

 

[Toneyz]

No they weren't.

You must be in the other area of Northamptonshire.

Hi @Michael James thomas good question. When I attended my STROMA assessment it was around five hours. We went through paperwork including level 3 exams, insurance, third party contract, GS85, EAWR, technical questions such as talking about R1/R2 adiabatic, types of system and when they are recommended for inspection time wise etc. complaint procedure all in all quite a thorough process. Then of course off to site to inspect installation and do Ze (with safe isolation!) and Zs and RCD testing. I definitely came away with the sense that if you were not an electrician it would have been clear as the questions (about fifty) on a science/techy level and practicals would soon show if you knew your onions. As @Wilko suggests is he really STROMA registered, I find it hard to beleive he could have got through with such a paucity of knowledge they are pretty thorough imo.

Yes he is and here is an example of his knowledge the water can be bonded anywhere only the gas has to be within 600 ,only single phase cables need to sleeved and identifed he asked me what ADS stood for

Only single phase cables need to be sleeved??

Somebody within your outfit hired him, that sounds like the first problem which needs to be resolved.

As I am sure has been suggested, make Stroma aware of yor concerns.

If you don't know what ADS is and think three phase cables (should be bare?) can't do a cert, not familiar with bonding, not familiar with the application of additional protection then...how the hell can you get in with STROMA. Very strange, presumably you are not letting him loose in peoples houses alone?
