The word competent seems to govern most of the trade and anyone can claim to be it. It's very frustratingAbsolutely, I agree, as the proud holder of a C&G 2391 qualification. But there are very little regulations governing test and inspection, merely the 'competent' word.
It will never happen, the DIs the schemes approve who are just qualified pay the fees that keep the schemes alive, this is a no go and will never happen fella.surely this needs implementing into the industry?
lots of companys seem to employ anyone
thoughts?
I like your post but grading isn;t about money, well okay it might be now but it was about ability when the JIB meant something, a Technician was always far superior in experience than an Electrician, it wasn't easy to get a Technicians card, it might be today, so okay fair point lolI did c&g 2360 pt 1 & 2, 16th edition, done 17th now, am1, cg 2391. 1999.
Boss wouldn’t pay for am2. Lecturer said nvq stood for ‘not very qualified’ as such I am graded just below bog cleaner.
Grading is about money, always has and always will be. I see approved sparks day in day out who haven’t got a clue. They wouldn’t know how to turn a tester on never mind be capable of using one.
So no, I also disagree
We heard you the first time AndySurely an electrician's core training should leave them competent to test their installed work ?
Sorry, haven’t read any of the other comments, just responding to the initial post.surely this needs implementing into the industry?

My little brother does, got his 2391 in 2008.I have not run in to a Gold Card JIB holder who holds a 2391 testing qualification as yet, when asked they say never needed one.
So its not just DI schemes
