New licenses?????

[martysparky]

Not everyone does house bashing what about electricians who are maintenance electricians in industry or electricians who work for companies who only do commercial or industrial installations??????

Just talking from my point of view. To be honest I have no idea how it would effect them???

There is nothing to stop you buying gas equipment it is just illegal to connect it to the gas supply

IMHO part p was never intended to make domestic electrics safer it was a scheme to help HMRC make domestic work traceable and therefore taxable

Just do big jobs and only use LABC being Mr joe bloggs.

Guys guys guys, isn't there a lot of smoke and mirrors.

To clarify the NVQ situation - NVQs are being replaced with QCFs, which work on a points system and no they don't make prizes.
There will be a QCF that will be an equiv of the NVQ (sort of), but the training will be of a lower standard.
Did you also know that the AM2 is changing. They don't believe an electrician needs to be able to terminate MI, work steel conduit or deal with motors. They say they are specialist skills!

Yes we do need a licence scheme and YES it CAN happen, it realy can and some people in the "trade bodies" are very very worried. They are supposed to be working for the electrical trade, but they may actualy be worried more about their gravey train and profits.

I'll tel more if you want to know.
