Your going to laugh lads!!!!!!! NVQ3 - Domestic!!!!!

[Electricalserv]

I love this little statement from Napit and this is going to ruffle a few feathers.

For those choosing the qualification route, the Level 3 NVQ Certificate in Installing, Testing and Ensuring Compliance of Electrical Installation Work in Dwellings should be available from the 1st January 2012 as the minimum qualification level for Qualified Supervisors responsible for electrical work carried out in domestic properties which comes under Part P of the Building Regulations (for England and Wales).


My bold!!!!

NVQ3 - for domestic premises will be available from 2012.

Looks like the City & Guilds NVQ3 now has a little sister.

Does anybody actually believe that any of the schemes (who all rely on registering members for their finances)that they would uphold any standard that would curtail their numbers, with the consequence their justification for existence would be less evident

It would be like a condemned man checking his noose was tight enough

It will change nothing,it all needs scrapping

They might be starting to reach saturation point though.

Thats why they are bringing in this NVQ3 - Domestics. Afterall why should somebody who does domestic work and only requires to be with a scheme because of this have to sit an NVQ3 that requires use of tray and basket work.


I think this is a great idea from the schemes. You do domestic work you only need a domestic NVQ3. Excellent!

I know I keep saying this but we should be making the system simple but yet again the tail(s) are wagging the dog ie NIECE Select Napit ECA are doing a jobsworth and making a ham of it

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but it is a good idea if it ensures that new QS have a better level of competency than the current requirements & if this qualification helps towards that, then great

 

[Spudnik]

It has to help, as the requirements to even enrol on this course is work placement?

I'm not being sarcastic. Its a great idea.


If you are part of a scheme that only exists because of PART P then they have no right to only allow people in that posess a qualification (nvq3) that goes well off the domestic sector with the likes of motors, baskets and tray!

It would be nice to think it is the case , but i am afraid i am very cynical when it comes to some of our governing body's and how we seem to be just cash cows !
I personally know of one napit member that went on their crash course for the 17th and 2391 that both myself and my other director would have put money on him failing like he did on his independent pat testing coarse !?
He obviously passed but did the 2391 before his 17th , now i all ways thought you needed to be up to date with the rest before being allowed to sit the 2391 ?

Surely there will be no crash course for the NVQ3 as there are on-site assessments?
