[edawekim]

Hi
Totally new to the trade, having taken redundancy recently just completed Domestic Installer course (C&G) but in need of real hands on work experience as mostly had theory apart from self testing/certificating.

Hi, how long was the course?

Hi, how long was the course?

That was my first thought but didn't want to be the one to start it off!

I did subscribe to the thread though to see how it develops [emoji1]

 

[Jonspark]

Whose gunna drop the bombshell though?

 

[IrishSpark]

Hi, how long was the course?

think we all know the answer to that one!!

 

[pennychew]

Whose gunna drop the bombshell though?

I'll leave it to one of the old hands!

 

[pennychew]

think we all know the answer to that one!!

You cynic you!

 

[Pete999]

Oh go on then, 5 something or other, I wonder if that's right

 

[Jonspark]

more importantly......how much did it cost?

Ha ha
Thankyou for the warm welcome. I take it no one would help anyone in here then!

Plenty of people would help others here, however very few are willing to help someone who got qualified in a few weeks and is clueless. Your best bet is to look for a job as an electricians mate or apprentice as that's the level you at.

 

[edawekim]

At last!
A decent response, many thanks IrishSpark. I wont be back in here then, now it has been laid out in plain English without the snipes

 

[Engineer54]

The fact is, you are actually qualified for very little if anything, as even the limited theory you have been taught will will leave a lot to be desired. I get the impression that you have just found this out for yourself hence your OP of this thread!!!

IrishSpark is actually being generous as you wouldn't even qualify as a ''Mate'' these days, many of whom will have a core qualification C&G2365 or the like, under their belt...

It may not be what you want to hear, but it's the god's honest truth i'm afraid!!

 

[Leesparkykent]

What quals did you get?

Gone in an flash.

What you should do is add your location to your profile and say you are looking for work as a mate/beginner - you never know, there may be a sparky near you who may need a hand on occassions...... or you could burn your bridges on here.....

How easy did you think starting a new trade from scratch would be? You've just come on here saying "I need work experience". You haven't told us what qualifications you've got, you haven't actually asked for a job, you haven't even told us where you are.
People on here will help you if they can, but only if you let them.

Well that was a pretty appalling welcome on the whole, there were a few posts that were semi helpful but I'm not surprised you're considering not coming back.

I've deleted all the posts so everyone can start with a clean slate. If there's insufficient info in the opening post please just ask for the info that would be relevant rather than descending the thread into a p155-take and suggesting it might have been otherwise if he'd included more info.

 

[Adam W]

Why not just delete the whole thread.

 

[Marvo]

Guess I'm a believer in second chances. Why don't you offer the OP a couple of days work experience?

 

[telectrix]

well. it does say art top of page "electricians forum" not "domestic installers forum".

 

[GMES]

Why not just delete the whole thread.

Because that wouldn't be fair to the op who simply started a thread, this way as Marvo said the thread now starts with a clean slate for everyone.

 

[Adam W]

I'm not in a position to be able to do that.
Why don't you offer him a couple of days work experience?

 

[Adam W]

That's the point though - he didn't simply start the thread, he replied. Twice.

You're right Adam he did reply twice, once to say he wasn't getting help and then again to say he probably wouldn't come back due to the replies he received.

 

[Marvo]

I don't work on domestic installations and the 19000km home to home travel might be a problem for him.

 

[Adam W]

How do you know he's 19000km from you?

 

[Leesparkykent]

My post wasn't rude or unhelpful! I asked what quals he gained on his course, Which I think is valid to someone who could of possibly offered the OP some work experience.

 

[Marvo]

A bit more than 19000 actually, I checked his IP Address.

 

[telectrix]

he can't be in the UK then. cape town is only 8548 miles from the north pole.

 

[Adam W]

A bit more than 19000 actually, I checked his IP Address.

I don't have the facility to do that.
Can I assume from the way you asked me if I could give him some work experience that he's not far from me?

Can you explain why my post was deleted please?

 

[Adam W]

How about if he takes the scenic route?

WTF was wrong with mine?

Marvo. Are you a member of the stari?

 

[Engineer54]

So no-ones allowed to even be honest anymore is that what Marvo is saying??..... What a totally shambolic state of affairs where a guy residing thousands of miles away is dictating what UK electricians should accept as bona fide electrical tradesmen... I think he's part of the new Russian programme on the annihilation of free speech...

 

[ian.settle1]

well. it does say art top of page "electricians forum" not "domestic installers forum".

Or DIY forum
