Well your entitled to your view, which I respect, I just do not agree, no hard feelings.

Of course there's no hard feelings, I wouldn't mess with you if look anything like your profile pic!
Your quite right, the people that have completed the 17 day course are a million miles away from being an electrician, in any sense of the word, but surely if they received further training they can progress?? Also, as E54 said, there's only 6 days difference between the Electrical Trainee and the 17 day boys, so what can they be taught in those 6 days?? I assume the 17 day course consists of single phase, domestic training, which means the Electrical Trainee's will be taught all there is to know about 3 phase, commercial & industrial in 6 days?? That's unrealistic to say the least

I did a 5 week course a couple of years ago and must admit it doesnt teach anything of real use or understanding. They mainly teach you how to pass exams. I straight away got in with a small local firm and learnt more in a day on site than in those 5 weeks. I quickly realised i had been mugged off but what could i do. I am still working part time for this firm and now feel competent, i am looking at proper college courses to back up my practical knowledge with theory now.
