Thank you scheme providers. You are destroying a once respected trade.

Part P is NOT the issue. Its the fact that every other trade is doing electrics. My "old" neighbour, who come over from Spain said he simply couldn't understand why the trades all did "each others" work (and mostly badly)

eh?...
so you dont think that jumpin off a 5 week course then a quick part pis registration `assessment` isn`t a problem then?...jesus wept i expected better from you murdock...i really did...

Part P or Electrical Trainee or what ever, the basic problem is that there are too many bodgers at work and NOBODY to call people to account for dodgy work.

Over the past year I have spent alot of time, being paid, to tidy up others ' bodged up work.

some of it from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, ......... There has always been mediocrity and ineptitude and there always will. Just be the best or plan to be and success will follow. As a natural product.

no charge.

Hit the nail firmly, and squarely, dead centre, on the head.

It's all about competence in the real sense. I know electronic guys that have a much greater understanding of electrical principles than some " qualified " sparks. I'm not defending Electrical Trainee but some of them are actually very good. Why shouldn't they transfer into an allied trade ? They don't balk when electricians do no courses and stray into other fields ? Intruder, cctv etc etc As long as they understand safe work then why shouldn't they be allowed to diversify ? Free trade is a given

caus they should go to bloody college like we have all had to do...
not some scabby little `training center` someware for a few weeks....
besides....theres too many for not enough work...so how come we have to put up with these short course wonders just floatin in...
oh, and by the way a lot of the crud i come across is usually courtesy of either Mr Poland or a five week know nowt....

 

[telectrix]

part pee is a complete farce. it only "regulates" those electricians that join the club. and it does that with about as much efficiency as a wet lettuce operated by a punka wallah.

 

[Tridentsystems]

But what about electronics guys that have studied far longer than an apprentice and use a short course to diversify ? Surely they are not exempt from using part p to find new business ?

I'm a 27 year wonder by the way and still learning. Not defending anyone, just debating
