Discuss Your going to laugh lads!!!!!!! NVQ3 - Domestic!!!!! in the Australia area at ElectriciansForums.net

All this is making me sad, Apprentiships, time served Apprentiships, college on day release for three years. (QUALIFIED) ELECRICIAN at the end, thats the way to go.
If you want to proggress further so be it BUT no one and I mean NO ONE should be able to call himself qualified in such a lethal industry as ours unless what Ive just said can become the norm again.
Yes times and regs have changed and update courses can take care of that.
But if all followed the old ways we can bring some respect back into what was once a respected trade.

And Engineer54 Your comments are spot on.

If this is going to happen nvq3 for domestic, surley they would remove domestic installs for 2356 or whatever it turns into ? , then by doing that a commercial spark is unqualified to work domestic ?, but there's little a commercial spark would find difficult on domestic, that not meant as an insult to anyone.
I'm doing my 2356 now and its half commercial half domestic - this just sounds like another qualification to take priced at £1000, there should be a qualification available awarded to people who can dicpher the city&guilds qualifications route.
 
Alex the NVQ3 City & Guilds will stay the same. it wiull be a seperate qualification for domestic only.


City & Guilds will keep the original one that covers all sectors
 
think we need to riot as a whole, only soloution, even poxy teachers stand up for themelves but they do a hard job and are job aint easy

I tried to get an apprenticeship when I was at college (2000/2001) No one would take me on as I was too old (31). I taught myself, couldn't finish college with no-one to compile my dossier. I have 2391 and a gold JIB card, work a lot on High Speed Routes, (Highways) and Transmission Sites (Digital TV and Radio transmitter installation) and must be doing something right as our client requests me to lead work teams. Can I call myself an electrician?
