Ok you should all now be able to vote on more than one selection.

Its a None vote for me, as an industrial electrician I don't need any of them. Basically a cowboy wouldn't last a day in industry, and any electrical work I do at home, just need an installation certificate sent to my councils building department where they keep it on file together with the copy of my certificate that they asked for.

 

[Taylortwocities]

Now I'm not allowed to install a s/o at home.

Of course you can. You can do just about anything but install a new consumer unit or a whole new circuit, and a couple of items like work in the vanishingly small zones in a bathroom.

You could even do the more restricted tasks if you open a case with LABC. But there's a cost to that.

A most amusing thing to me were the threads on the IET forum site when (a much more rigorous) Part P was introduced more than a decade ago. There were a lot of life-time IET (IEE then) HND electronic engineers who found they couldn't legally do much electrical work in their own, or others, houses without getting the relavent City and Guilds Electrical Installation qualifictions and joining smashy and NICIECy.

The notification requirements have been very much diluted since then (not good, in my opinion).

Voted now, I am in the NICEIC was an AC and DI contractor, but now just DI, because of ill health and getting on a bit. To be frank and I know this might upset a few people, I am getting quite peed of with it all, when you find people who hold part P status obtained through, lets say bathroom and kitchen fitting are now changing CU's, rewiring houses etc. Its really mocking the sparks who have come up through proper apprenticeships and are fully trained, and they the bodies said the part P side of things would clear out the cowboy's how wrong can they be, so I am thinking none of the bodies are really there to protect our trade, anyway enough of my ranting's I am off to feed my horse now oops! I mean walk my dog. See yer all

None at the moment and as I'll work alongside my family ran business it'll possibly stay that way.

None, sadly.

 

[gazdkw82]

it seems most of the voters here are already established and working....

i'm not sure what all the above governing bodies offer and how they vary but could someone offer some sort of breakdown for trainee's who will be looking more into this in the near future?

 

[Sisyphus]

Q, as i know nothing of them, are they governmental or union entities...? ~S~

 

[bazastan]

Well guys and girls, let's see who you are registered with.

You should maybe think about including SELECT in your poll since you have asked a scottish contractor which organisation he is with.

 

[Sintra]

Select now added.

 

[RmBo_0]

Stroma for me, £288 per year and free software.

 

[rowan.bradley]
