Which qualifications to be self employed electrician?

[Meggerman]

Yep! All the minimum entry requirements that the short course's have to offer! It certainly does NOT mean you are competent! You've lost the point! LoL!!!

That is not your call. That is the powers that be. Your opinion is not fact and does not answer the OP's question.

I'm looking at doing the 2365 L3 to try and consolidate my qualifications. and discovered that government funding, ( like a student loan) is available for those who are 24+. There are conditions, but credit check isn't one, and it seems that repayment isn't arduous.

I'm not bitching mate! If I can stop someone making the same mistake that I made then at least I've saved someone a great deal of their hard earned cash! That's all. I will gladly take any slating off people on here! I made a mistake, yes!

At least he's man enough to admit it.

I think you are living in cloud cuckoo land mate! The 'Short Course' I completed offered a discount when you join the NICEIC and they ARE hand in glove together!

 

[Meggerman]

Im not slating you at all and nor should anyone else. Just take what you can from the course and keep going with it.

 

[Meggerman]

That's just business mate. NICEIC and all the other CPS schemes know they have potential clients coming off these courses so it is just targeted marketing.

Man enough to admit what? Like he has committed a crime or something and is now repenting for his sins?

I'm the one with the qualifications in our business, gained over the years from a time served apprenticeship joining the JIB and various courses 2391 16th and 17th editions qualifying supervisor site management ect ect.
My business partner never saw any courses through, and yet he is one of the finest hands on electricians I have ever met. Some of the installs he has run and completed within the commercial sector were large and complex. He coped with it all and has gone through his working life without any supporting paperwork. You do need paperwork and I'm sure he regrets not having any. But it doesn't always mean your a better spark for it.
I would say he is probably an exception to the rule though.

Man enough to admit he made a mistake. He's not the first and won't be the last.
