But using the Electrical Trainee term carries with it the inherent suggestion that the problem is about those five weeks, it's right there in the term. So those who have done that short course route to combine with existing quals/exp to produce a perfectly competent domestic installer may feel a bit slighted that that term is being slung about. My suggestion is that if you want to suggest someone is not competent within the scope that they should be, then just say so and don't use some broadbrush label to tie that comment in to how they may have (failed to) learn or how long it took. Perhaps just "useless jerk" or something.
The Electrical Trainee term ill agree now has a one tag fits all but you me or anyone on here using the term are not at blame ....its the mis-selling greedy tutoring schemes that have tarred what was a course that only originally attracted a few small previous experienced students, when they realised they could actually pass students with no background and issue them with a cert' to work in electrics albeit with no competence or experience the courses exploded into every corner of the UK and massive profits were made... the fallout of this is a general Tag of %WW which has even been termed in televised debates...its a tag that will prevail until they stop sending out ill prepared people on false hopes into what is a very dangerous and professional job.
