Time was all you needed were your electrical quals and experience, driving licence was a bonus that made you more likely to get the job. A few months back I got knocked back because I couldn't speak fluent Italian.
This is truly appalling though

Why not do a Electrical Trainee course in Italian ?

I must admit that is just about the worst I have come across. To even contemplate applying would be utterly demeaning. A disgraceful and disgusting money making scheme.

Sad times, hopefully the job will go to someone with the experience it deserves

Indeed , however they're asking for someone time - served , which in my mind doesnt include your average Electrical Trainee.
