Photo on someones profile

Hi,

Just looking on a website, just looking at other so called electricians, what would you say if you saw the photo below that is on their website / advert? This is actually from their advert / profile.

To me, it says Electrical Trainee training board.

I'd say someone is paying too much to yell.com for a designed website service.

That looks like the C&G2391 test rig.

Yep, definitely an bash board set up.

So someone has a picture if a college rig on their website. It is there choice what they put on it, maybe you could post a link to your website Tom so we can all criticise something you have put on it?

As Dillb has suggested, that looks very much like the "wall of fear" for the 7 out of every ten that failed the 2391.

far from what you are suggesting

It's definitely what Dillb said. Why you'd want that on your site I have no clue but never mind

For the life of me, i can't see anything that would warrant it being called a ''wall of fear''. If you can't do a decent job of testing and inspecting what's been shown in this photo, then you shouldn't be calling yourself an electrician.....

Yeah good point. It is meaningless as an advertisement.

That's very true, I thought the practical was the easy bit.

 

[SPARTYKUS]

Only if you're not suffering a bad dose of muppetry.

Well the clue is on the sticker on the board- it even tells you the college.

Well spotted I hadnt looked that closely.

Bet the college would be well pleased if they knew it was on the internet for all too see, as I am sure you are not supposed to see the rig before you actually do the practical exam or at least that was the case when I did my 2391

So would C&G I think, but it's probably all over U tube tours was used by the students from the college , it was in a helluva state lol.

I was the other way round, theory doddle, but practical was a trial against the other electrician working on the other side of the board shaking the whole structure whilst I am trying to test and the examiner looking at his watch and saying "get a move on"........ proper stress. Mind you the other electrician failed, he blew the neon and messed up his cert....but he was fast.. lol

Neither can I.

I guess thats why they nearly all failed.....

Isaw the college name but nothing else unless you have some kind of "Blade Runner"-esque pixel enhancing super software :conehead:

I would be ashamed to have that on my website or other advertisement

 

[telectrix]

he'd do better with this:

Na just enlarged it to get a better look at what appeared to be a test lead hanging from the side of the box.
