Who Are You?

[HandySparks]

This poll is for all Forum members. Please read the poll carefully and then choose the best description in the context of your membership of the forum. I can't include all options, so you might like to go into more detail by posting in the thread.

The poll is confidential (forum names are not visible).

For the purposes of the poll:
'Apprenticeship' means a pre-planned formal arrangement for multiple years of structured classroom and on-the-job training.
'Short Course' means a concentrated course of less than 6 weeks of mostly classroom based learning. (Just a C&G 2381 / 2382 'regs' course doesn't count.)
'Electrician' means anyone doing hands-on installation, maintenance, repair or testing of electrical systems (normally for payment) and includes 'domestic installer'.

If you take the word electrician out of line 3,4,6,7 it may just be a credible survey.

 

[Knobhead]

Anything that gives credence to a DI being an electrician is a waste of web space.

Your list of qualifications doesn't say DI to my mind,

 

[not clever]

No Dave but I am only registered as a DI due to the work load I do outside of other work.
This has been my argument with some here, they are far too quick to label any DI as a Electrical Trainee wannabe.

Some of us do trade as a DI (which I know is a made up term by Nicey) because it covers domestic work, if there was no DI tag I would save myself a **** load of cash each year & not bother with assessments, but still do the domestic & the commercial work.

So when I see forum members stating they tell customers not to use a DI because they are unqualified or wanna be's I'm afraid I just think "what an ignorant hunt they must be"

If you have the qualifications why in the name of god would you classify yourself as a DI?

Only a masochist would have cause to have that stigma attached willingly. Would I be right to suppose you wear sackcloth and ashes to work?
