I have read several posts on here now in the last half hour and all of which claim to be an electrician and got the very basics wrong or completely cant be bothered to do anything they have to!

These so called scheme providers really need to get off their A*** and start looking at who they are giving a licence to kill to before they kill someone!
 
Every website I visit seems to be sponsored by one of these 'change of career, become an electrician' companies these days.
Find it quite worrying what the future of this industry holds!

That will be google ads, linking adverts to your browsing history. Not a straight advert placement.
 
Nowt wrong with wot your sayin, as I sed some people havent got the time to do college for 2 years i doubt they teach your much more than an intensive course anyway
time to go training unsupervised on the job though eh...
in someone elses property eh...
its a load of crap..
competent in 5 weeks...my arse...

Ahh, that makes more sense. Glad the ads are electrical based and not scantily clad female based, the missus would start getting suspicious if that were the case (must cover my tracks well lol!)
 
What does Electrical Trainee stand for anyways?

5 week ? (Wonder?)

Yep.

If ya kill someone after taking 5 week course you are going straight to jail.

Competency is classed as practical experience and qualifications.

After these 5 week courses they dont have any experience and very little knoledge of the systems. I did the full 2330 and still didnt cover a lot of stuff that firm does. Bms,plc,fire alarms,data etc

It doesn't matter what quals you hold, if you kill someone you will be up on a manslaughter charge at the very least. The court will look at what you did and how you did it, if it comes down to poor workmanship you're going to be a guest of her queenliness.

Steve and his merry band of rip off merchants who sell you the myth of competency. First rule when you're in a hole is to stop digging, remember your claim that years of theory can be condensed into a few days? I'm sure you can cope with the pointing and laughing.

Have we discussed how much work we have? I must have missed that one. Learn how to spell mate, it'll make you look less ridiculous
By the way, welcome to my ignore list you clown.
 
Ok so we were on site only last week when this Electrician started to uncoil a circuit and there was a flash. The M&E on this site is a big firm that begins with BB. They use these twist on ends that I'm guessing if the circuit was to become live then the circuit breaker will trip. It turns out that this circuit obviously should not have been live. The guy testing the installation was sacked on the spot. It turns out that he didn't have a JIB card. He had a standard green site operative card but also a 2391 certificate. The circuits he had been testing were tested again with two different test kits and the results that came back were nowhere near to the results this idiot got. The same guy had to ask previous to this at what height he should put the light switches at. My point to this post is that it's not just these scam training providers but also the Electrical contractors themselves that are letting the industry down. How the hell did he get on a commercial site as a tester?! I have been on this site for ten months and the idiots and workmanship I have seen is absolutely atrocious! Scary stuff!
