Hi Jason
I would hope so but i ain't about to hold my breath anymore !:cyclist:

Its all swings and roundabouts atm.


Personally if the domestic NVQ3 comes in Il be a happy bunny. Yes you must be in the industry still and yes it should be done over a year.


The reason why this works is the fact that the domestic sector can now move away from the commercial and Industrial and have its own approved domestic electricians.

If I remember rightly the JIB are bringing out doemstic electricians cards? Maybe this qual is the one thats been set up. Fingers crossed!

If I am right in what I see/read from the passage. This can only improve the domestic sector. I think the Level 3 tech cert may also be needed to gain this qual and rightly so. It will (for a while) keep the fast track lads out. (Those that have not already slipped under the radar already, that is). No doubt they will find a loop hole again.

If the assessors governing the new qual do their job right the domestic industry will only go upwards in regards to competency!


The heavy commercial & Industrial sector is well governed to be fair.

another load of rubbish a version of the nvq3 will be introduced which will be a two week crash course and cost about a £1000 making them more money whilst still diluting the trade.

Hold up EZZ. We can only wait & see.


If its a proper NVQ3 done over a year with a portfolio, we can't complain. I agree to do it you will need the tech cert (theory) to go with it.


Its exactly what the domestic industry has been crying out for. Il say it again and again. As domestic sparks we need to be approved in our area. Tray and basket work doesn't fall under our description aswell as many other things on the current NVQ3. Get an NVQ3 that focuses directly on our sector and everybody is happy!

Here we go, .....It's not going to be long, before you need to be certified for every area within the electrical industry!!! Your dividing yourselves, Do you really think that's a good idea, ...you don't think that you'll be cutting your own throats in the process?? No-one heard of the old saying ''Divide & Rule??

Why not set a higher minimum qualification and training standard for ALL electricians??

This is it though E54. If you don't require Tray, Basket work etc etc. Why should you have to do a qualification that encorporates that to be a member of a PART P scheme? Part P is domestic only, therefore you should only be assessed on domestic work!

Basically because as i stated many times before, an Electrician should be able to work across the industry at a basic level, the fact that you or anyone else is presently working in the domestic sector is neither here nor there. Dividing up the industry, will play straight into the employers open arms, and you will all pay for it. Once you divide, i can tell you, ....it will be impossible to reverse!!!

 

[Engineer54]

In a nutshell, ...the present training given to electricians is directly aimed at the domestic sector from what i can see. The industry seems to have done, and doing nothing to rectify the matter either. There should be a minimum standard for ALL electricians not just the domestic installer. That title is just a made up meaningless title, created by others for their monetary benifit, to the detriment of the industry as a whole, not least Electricians themselves.


Your letting these providers tear the industry apart with all these buckshee qualifications. There should be one and only one, institute, that sets and assesses qualifications. That's the only way everyone sitting such qualification gets a fair grade and the industry a standard level of proficiency.... end of rant!! lol!!

This is only a bad thing. An electrician should be an electrician. One set of qualifications across the board
