NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC Partner with Rated People!

[Zebra Stripe]

Good thinking, every electrician in the country registered under one name to ELECSA as The Electricians, split the registration fee, have a rolling QS, cos you would only need one, and pay for your own notification....we could also swoop books by scanning them or something....easy

And I will say now, I would be willing to pay the start up costs just to see an end this horror show.

If anyone would like to take this further, lets get our heads together and sort it. Is there any way we can private message on her because I would love to get your emails and start this ASAP.

I just dont want to put my work email on here due to spamming....

put me down, it really can't be that hard can it?

 

[Badged01]

Well I would be OK, as I dont issue certs

You would be squirming in front of the tax man explaining what you've done for your money and where! Or why you can live without any money ..... :smile5:

Marketing bullcrap. Rated People do a free one month membership for anyone plus £50 to spend on leads.

Rated People about to float on AIM stock exchange.

 

[GLENNSPARK]

here:



wonder which one of them is the NIC?

 

[GLENNSPARK]

OK lets look at `rated people` as an entity:

i mean what do they actually do?...what are they actually there for?

all they do is create a website...throw a bit of advertising on the telly

they expect people to join this racket...and then pay for leads that may..or may not lead to some graft

see the way i saw it was that folk that needed any works carried out would ring round local tradesmen.....maybe get three quotes...and then decide on who they wanted......

so where does `rated people` come into this?

 

[R G]

Why on earth should anyone have to pay to give a quotation for work is beyond me , The problem is because people take part and pay their money these scams are just going to carry on , if nobody used them they would go away , But now the NIC have jumped into bed with them and instead of seeing them hopefully drift away , now they have prolonged their life , so who's side are the NIC on for Gods sake , Its just another sell, sell scam,,,,

thats my point.

i mean...who the hell needs `rated people`?

 

[GLENNSPARK]

and further more the title `rated people` should be brought into question as well.....as i (and am sure others as well) have had to correct works carried out by someone who was contacted..whatever through `rated people`..

so they wern`t very rated then...were they really...

 

[R G]

Rated People What a bloody name ,, what sort of tradesman is this going to attract , those who can give the cheapest price and bodge everything in sight , In and out as quick as you can with the least amount spent on materials ,,
Thats what the Nic has got involved with ,, what a joke,,,,
This would be funny if it wasn't true,,,

 

[GLENNSPARK]

well ...anyone wanting to go through such a racket will be looking for cheepy cheepy...they could find that at the end of the bar.....

still doesn`t explain what the point is of `rated people` though...does it....

i thought folk employed a local tradesman through looking in the local papers...and on websites for local trades...thereby putting back in to the local economy....

and do folk have to pay this `rated people` for booking visits/quotes from trades registered with them?

Sounds like an auction site where the lowest bidder wins (maximum irony!!!), apart from the operators of course!

Almost, but not quite.
They make agencies look good in comparison.

 

[NICEIC ENGINEER]

NICEIC was approached with an offer by Rated People which we felt might be beneficial to our contractors.

There is no commercial gain for NICEIC. The offer is for a trial period only.

NICEIC is committed to promoting the work of its contractors to householders and believe all electrical work in the home should be undertaken by competent, registered tradespeople.

However, we appreciate your feedback on this issue and will be reviewing the offer going forward.

Is profit a key performance indicator for NICEIC?
