Standards today:
Wiring up some PIRs in Student accommodation.
Me:
You’ve given me 3 core flex, we need 4 core.
Perm Live, Neutral, Earth and Switch Live.
Response:
Nah, just put some black tape round the Earth core and that’s the Perm Live.

2. Unqualified builders, kitchen/bathroom fitters etc shouldn't be allowed to touch electrical work. Should be a criminal offence with a minimum fine of £5000 IMO if you're not qualified and not providing certification. The scam who it's reported to and gathers evidence should get half that money to incentivise them.

3. Poor quality training in many places for youngsters coming into the trade. Too much emphasis in the big firms/agencies on thrashing through jobs as quickly and cheaply as possible.
...
The main reason for training youngsters is to keep the NEETs figures down (Not in Employment, Education or Training). It has nothing to do with properly training them... It's a legacy of the Blair/Brown years.
I was chatting to a girl who was working in my local a while ago (no, not like that !!)... she was at college studying 'small animal management'... Full time !! For 2 years !!
maybe not, but the cable up to the fitting needs a cpc.Doesn't need a cpc because there's no earth terminal?
Basic stuff Tel, shame some "Electricians" don't know this.maybe not, but the cable up to the fitting needs a cpc.
And there was I thinking the Middle, Far east was the place for cheap labour.I got sent this text a little while ago:

Disagree rapparee, we should be looking at the way Electrical Trainee and the like, get qualified, and given Carte Blanche to work for payment in the first place in the first place.Personally I've never had it so good.
If you feel under threat from some young wet behind the ears 5 week wonder then maybe you need to take a look at yourself.
Careful with language like that in a post @SWD - some people can rightly get offended by the phrase ‘Climate change’ !From the report it seems they don't require electricians for some of the roles, ex wife's son is going to Uni to do a degree and hopefully a masters in AI, that's going to be a growth market.
Me personally I will be running courses in survival skills and how to kill and kin another human for food for when the apocalypse happens durine to climate change and when the Chinks blow up all the nuclear power stations they have built around the world.
"small animal management"
Obviously a proper spark will run rings around these people.Disagree rapparee, we should be looking at the way Electrical Trainee and the like, get qualified, and given Carte Blanche to work for payment in the first place in the first place.
