But you are not a DI, you are a time served professional electrician, your only ignorance is you do not know what a DI is.I have done the 15 th 16 th and 17th AM1 AM2 2391 etc and a 5 1/2 year apprenticeship I have been doing this for 25 years and running jobs with sometimes 20 sparks underneath me for the last 10 ( sounds wrong on all levels )
The fact when starting out on your own (IMO) to get work you have to join one of the schemes or people won't touch you
I'm a newly accredited Domestic Installer and when I have enough work and jobs to go approved I will .but till then I'm a DI so please don't think every DI is the same

I agree with you MDJ but unfortunately Joe Public knows the term DI ( might not understand it - bit sure I do ) and building control only accepts it ,my apprenticeship and Jib approved card means very little in getting work for yourself
By being a DI I'm bundled with the 5 week wonders until I get approved and go back the commercial world
For some, Di is the first rung on the ladder and they go and work for others learning our trade, for others it's a scam route. For me it was the first rung and have moved on to bigger things now. I'm 17th edition qualified and always aspire to be better.
well theres no confusion from me as far as the title is concerned:I have my flak jacket, Kevlar hat on so fire away, as most of you old timers are aware, I'm an old timer also, maybe it's my age, but I'm confused.com.
The confusion arises over the title of this post, and probably I ought to know the answer, but would be grateful if someone could clear up my conundrum? I hear folks say"there is no such thing as a domestic Installer" "your either an Electrician or you aren't" so please put me at ease, is there such a being as a Domestic Installer? I think not but please clarify. Sorry for the politeness of my post, it's my working for the government that does it.:mickey::elvis::seeya::grinningelf:
If that's the only qualification you hold you're still on the first run, as you put it!!
So you've moved on to bigger things have you, so what makes you think you are remotely competent to move on to bigger things then??
Read his profile ignoramus. He is qualified.
Is he?? ....Maybe to YOU he is!!
The JIB would grade him "Electrician" with an NVQ3, so it would not be just me. I believe it may just be YOU!!
well theres no confusion from me as far as the title is concerned:
THERES NO SUCH THING AS A CHUFFIN `DOMESTIC INSTALLER`......thats it!!
its an out n out lie manufactured, spun out and sold to an unsuspecting audience by scams hell bent on taking cash for fake titles...
so called `domestic installers` are nowt but half way house, half arsed, cowboy wannabees that are nowt but a danger to themselves....and others...
the amout of times that we have had to go round correcting shoddy, incompetent and downrite dangerous `work` carried out by these charlatans....
oh its allrite.Why thanks for that Glen, I thought when I originally posted that Old Glen would have the answer in his own inimitable way, I agree with you whole wholeheartedly mate, but couldn't quite find the words.
I'm the first toasty I don't know everything, I learn as well as the rest of us.
We all started somewhere did we not?
I may have a Nvq which some would say technically qualify me as an electrician, but I do not state I see myself as that, bottom line you started somewhere, what's wrong with me doing the same?
I agree these short courses are ridiculous but I also recognise that they are there as an introduction to the industry, I do not think they should allow someone to carry out work without being supervised, but that's my opinion.
