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'.

Because with the way the mods operate on this site sometimes I wonder if any effort is deserved

Hi Peter, long time no see. Hope you and yours are well?

Would you like to elaborate? I'd love to hear some constructive criticism from you.

I'm surprised you didn't remove my "constructive comment" as it wasn't in favour of the DI's that this forum likes to rotect so much

Now, now. We (mods) cant be racist towards any members regardless of what sector of the industry they are working in.

Thanks mate , hope you've had a good christmas and have a great new year.

Couldn't elaborate much as not much is tolerated or accepted on this electrical forum any more, perhaps I should just give up and just remove my account, I shall have a look through settings

You dont have to go that far Peter. PM me tomorrow for a chat about it. No need to remove your account just because you are unhappy about what is posted up by others. Just dont reply to them if it winds you up so much.

That is not the answer and all the mods know it!

 

[Guest112]

It's a constant on here and will never end.

I can't seem to find where to remove my account had a look through settings and doesn't seem to be an option?

If you're wondering I'd like to close it rather than avoid so I can save getting my constant forum emails...

 

[tazz]

You are free to reply or not to......as you a free to jump off a bridge if you so wish.
I or any other mod will not advise you to do either...your choice.

Okaaay, let's drag this back on topic if we can manage. I'll put my hand up as one of the (at this point 2) respondents for 'Training, full apprenticeship' as to my mind, this should be the default pathway into being an electrician. The relevant licensing bodies can argue about recognition of alternate learning and work experience, but for kids coming out of school or people looking for a career change (me again) there should be a simple answer to the question "How do I become an electrician?"

From what I can see of the DI/Electrical Trainee brigade on this forum, they seem mostly to get themselves into trouble when they step outside of the 'installer' boundary into design and fault finding. I can see the use in a limited qualification, bounded by tight and conservative proscriptions regarding cable selection and installation practices to ensure someone without comprehensive knowledge of the standards can be assured they are complying. You would not expect a brickie's labourer to know about load-bearing calculations, you just tell him what to do and how. Leave fancy design and faults to properly trained electricians.

So that's £35

£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

Or
£35,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 x 2

With a lot of noughts added £7xE[SUP]35[/SUP] My brain hurts now!

 

[telectrix]

careful tony. else the mods will be taking away your grumpy git badge. :ack2:

 

[telectrix]

i put electrical engineer as i did a full HND apprenticeship . the hands-on experience took longer, suppose i could class myself as "electrician other", as that's what i've worked as for the last 20+ years.
