True story about building manager and Building control agent.

[Phil Thompson]

Niceic have the monopoly here in Norn Iron, I’ve only heard of 1 other scheme member here and it was a Napit member who did an entertainments license for a bloke I know in the shooting fraternity.

I’ve been asked for it 3 times in almost a year, first 2 is no interest in the work being offered as it would be all over and it wouldn’t suit my family life.

The most recent was a guy looking to rent a flat through the Housing Executive and they had requested a NICEIC cert for the Smoke and Heat Alarms.

It doesn’t seem to matter at the moment as all sparks here, whether scheme or not, are flat out at the moment.

You will find that nearly all specs etc for commercial jobs will say the contractor shall be a member of the NICEIC Approved Contractors Scheme as it USED TO be known that AC's would carry out work to the highest standards and full compliance with the regs together with the rigorous checks by the NICEIC. I did post USED TO these days it's a bit of a misconception as a few bad apples are reluctantly removed from the roll. I think that the new schemes set up to police the compliance for self-certification eg NAPIT Stroma etc have now set up their own versions for commercial work but haven't managed to gain the gravitas that the NICEIC have built up over the years.

Why NICEIC there are other equally money grabbing Schemes out there, or have the NICEIC completely brainwashed every client based company in Christendom?

Other schemes were not known as well in 2015.

Many of the other schemes are domestic only.

Anything for Housing Exec will need NICEIC AC Status. And they are very slow payers.

We don't have 5 week wonders, short courses or any of that. I fear that will come, as we have a serious skills shortage in pretty much all trades.

I used to work with a guy who could say read the Novell training manual over a couple of days sit the exam and pass it 100%, when the server went t!ts up he could quote the manual to me but panicked when it came to fix it, I bet he's a millionaire now though.
