Electrician Jobs EIC issue................................

[Marti]

In regard to training, we seem to have lost pride in a good job done well and the electrical installation and repair market is very broken up by competing professional groups and poor-quality short-course training companies. The Wiring Regs are getting over-regulated and the training under-organised under-regulated and under-funded.

Put more eloquently than I did
Was there ever a time when unqualified chancers would not / could not undercut the skilled individual? By virtue of being in this forum, I'm willing to bet that the majority in here DO take pride their work.

Absolutely! A great bunch of skilled characters here - and who can be bothered to enter into helpful debate, too!

There certainly was a time.....but it wasn't enhanced by pathetic attempts to provide certification for the crap being churned out, as it is these days.
and ......I'm sure said majority do take pride...….but that's a minor percentage of people involved in the trade.
