ELECSA Certification Scheme elecsa useless!!!

[sima24]

More of a rant than a question, elecsa part p assesment booked for this morning, 45 mins before i get a call saying the guy is sick and have to wait another 4 weeks!!! If i would of been sick this morning i would have to pay another 300 quid for another aseesment, do you think they would give me 300 quid for cancelling lol never

Think yourself lucky, elecsa rescheduled mine last year twice, both times on the day.

 

[sima24]

Really annoyed, i was up till the early hours making sure i had everything. Might send them a cancelation invoice

I toyed with that idea, but decided against it - that said maybe a strongly worded, polite letter is in order, and as you say, if you'd cancelled they would have charged you.

I moved from Elecsa to Nic for similar reasons. They seem very unprofessional and disorganised.

If you cancelled at short notice you would have lost your £300. Why cant they offer you some compensation as it's another half days work you have lost ( or possibly a day ) and another time you have to organise access to a customer's home. The least they could do would be to offer you free vouchers to the ECA Direct site. I had 2 assessors at my last assessment, perhaps that the answer,then at least 1 might turn up.

elecsa ougfht to make the assessors self employed. no assessing, no pay. then we'll see who's sick.

Most of them are.

The same with all the schemes.

^^^ don't be so sure!! My last NICEIC inspection booking turned into a right old farce with one inspector turning up 2 days early!

The two asessors I'm my area from elecsa, which both have been really good, one a bit tougher than the other. Don't know if I should post it, they're both called ray, really nice folks, one I know is self employed but I think the other is a area assessor or supervisor which I'm pretty sure is employed. Any way both really nice people (hint hint, assessment coming up)

I tend to mess them around, 2 weeks before they are due I cancel, it keeps the NICEIC on their toes, after all these scammers do work for us

 

[moospark]

Just got a nice job in Scotland, they laugh at us.

 

[SPARTYKUS]

Im not convinced they would have charged if you were. Genuinely ill, just rescheduled.

For a start theyd never get paid it, it would be an "as if" invoice.

 

[sima24]

I would defo have lost it, its all paid in advance and if you cancel for any reason within the last 2 weeks i thinks you lose 300 of the 500 you already have paid. Oh well, dont want to kick up too much, not until after the assesment anyaway

Oh don't get me wrong Glennspark they're worse than estate agents, middle men creaming off our hard earned to tell us the time with our own watch.
