stick your head in a lions mouth ,and see what happens .what did you except a lick !
I was merely stating the facts as to how or whether you could join a scheme such as niceic i was not in any advocating that you do join as if you start doing work for others you need to know what you are doing. No doubt with your background the technical side and calculations are fine. The job is more nuanced than that thought the judgements you make come with experience
They get you to sit there own 'level 3' equivalent course online at home so you can look up the answers to join the scheme, its the same as elecsa as i know somebody who went down the elecsa route. all they ask for is your bs7671(17th) and a testing qualification... then the insurance, tester etc.. followed by there online exam. then show a job, write the cheque you are in.
A scam then? Money for old rope in other words, talk about down grading a once respected Trade, makes you wonder if your Apprenticeship was worth the bother, just attend a few meaningless courses, write a cheque Bob's yer Uncle job done, buy a Van plonk the logo on it quids in, glad I have had my time, must look for a Doctors course, shouldn't be that difficult, and I hear the NHS is cash strapped. Get the picture sit a few open book exams, pay up and you are in a well paid job, that is until you are found out, but hey there are always forums to join to get on the rifhttrack after you have fooked up, or find you can't do a brain transplant and need some help.
