An Electrician is just someone who does electrical work for pay.
Glad you enjoyed itNow that is funny Pete

Well anyone can do electrical work, and get paid for doing so, albeit no correctly, are they electricians?

Yes.
Or if they are working in a domestic arena. they must be DIs then, hence no qualifications or experience needed just buy some tools stick electrician on the side of a van and off you go, I know it happens but it doesn't make them electricians.
PS I don't like the disagree button, far to confrontational for my liking, as is the dumb one as well, and explanation of your reasons is a far better answer imo.

We really are dredging up the favourites
Anyone can call themselves whatever they like,electrician is as good as any title...crikey,if you can gender re-assign and identify as a pumpkin,what does a van sticker prove?
I saw a bus,with "Kelloggs" on the side of it...but it wasn't full of cornflakes.
The lad up the road,has a young daughter,who wears a top,exclaiming "Daddy's Little Angel". I asked if he had a good Christmas,and he said she hated all her presents,and spent two weeks whining to go to McD's every 3 hours...the word "Angel" was not mentioned
...Move on,lads,this donkey won't go faster,for whippin'

The definition Competent was removed in the 17th Edition Amd 3 and replaced with Skilled Person (electrically) .
Definition : Person who possesses, as appropriate to the nature of the electrical work to be undertaken, adequate education, training and practical skills, and who is able to perceive risks and avoid hazards which Electricity can create.

As I understand it anyone can call themselves an electrician irrispective of whether they have formal qualifications or not....it's up to the customer to determine the person's competance
Any pleb in Scotland can call themselves an Electrician 
Well we are told that the country needs skilled workers so what's wrong with calling yourself what you want
Is that a question or an answer, P?
Yes a simple answer is indeed a bit vague as it covers a whole depth and spectrum of different engineering talents. I would suggest that probably the lmost important is experience with a modicum of intelligence.
Now when you consider this:
Human Beings Law and Legal Definition. ... Human beings are characterized by the ability to speak. They have a high capacity for abstract thinking and are commonly thought to possess a spirit or soul which transcends the physical body.
Now that is certainly vague as I have worked with some who do not fit that definition..............

In the states, that's the way. And as a result engineers are held in similar esteem to other professionals. In the UK, everyone is an engineer. Give a bloke a bucket and tell him to empty porta-loos and before you know it he'll be claiming he's a sanitation engineer

This is a bad subject in my opinion, I have done an advanced electrical engineering apprenticeship. City and guilds 2360.2391.2400, cert c. Then an hnd in electrical engineering, then some one who has been on a fast track (boil in a bag) course gets the same title... With an NVQ....
Just take and pass the 18th Edition BS 7671 update, and of course the Part P exam, pay the scams an inordinate fee, job done, Electrician off you go.

What is a Part P exam?
You tell me Ant, lots of folk are saying they are Part P qualified, so the assumption is that to become qualified, you need to pass some sort of Exam/Test, ergo The Part P qualification look at some of the profiles "16th 17th or 16th C&Gs and Part P when we are asked to state our Qualifications, it will be C and G number" I'm sure someone will be able to answer.
I for one don't know, when I became qualified I did a 5 years apprenticeship and 3 or 4 C and G courses, the same as you did, so you should be able to tell me because you are younger and more in tune with todays Quals.
Now see what you have made me do, get all riled up, blood pressure through the roof, now where is me Vino, need to calm down and destress. What is the Part P exam? I would give you a dumb, but seeing as you are My Mate I wont OK.
So Ant, there you go, your question has bee partly answered by someone better informed than me. Quite why these Scams peddle this carp is beyond me, oh no not really to extort money from unsuspecting individuals trying to better themselves, needs stamping on from a great height, not going to happen though, is it? to many sticky fingers in the proverbial pies, in my humble opinion.

I remember around 5 years ago (back in the old days) Tel answered one of my questions........... sensibly!
Crikey when was that? got a link, HHD?I remember around 5 years ago (back in the old days) Tel answered one of my questions........... sensibly!
I think I still had to ask him the same question 4 or 5 times though before we broke through the humour and got to an answer.
Eh? It's like a foreign language when you're sensible. I keep re-reading the post thinking I must have missed the gag!
Sorry Tel, picking on you a bit today
I know what you mean... me being the sensible one on the forum...
Tel has a thick skin, mind you he could be a bit touchy as the Mancs won the League Title, give him a few days and theSorry Tel, picking on you a bit today

Why is Pete saying everything twice it must be the mention of Part P that he brought into the conversation.
now wonder he is the top poster of the month every post is a double whammy.
