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

[Engineer54]

I think that being totally selfish on your part mate!!.... There are plenty of companies out there, that are employing electricians to work solely in the domestic sector. It's not just made up of sole traders such as your self....

Isn't this just going to split the industry even further?

diet spark that,rates will go down,then you have a two tier electrician,and wait for the customers saying how much,the lad down the road can do it half that and he's a proper spark..and what about those who will be employed,they will get less than other sparks,which will then drive down rates further,employers will send domestic sparks to big sites to save money,quality goes down etc,etc,etc

This is the JIB bringing it out aswell!

Deffo don't like this idea mate - it definately has the potential to cause a two-tier trade. For God's sake theres' no money in the domestic game as it is. I can't see how this will do anything to drive up prices, although it is a good step towards driving up perceived levels of competence. We're have to wait and see what they come out with before passing judgement on the actual qualification.

Ken I think people are over reacting here. If the JIB are on board aswell then it will be them and only them who drop the wages and form a 2 tier! Which I doubt. If anything they will put it the same as JIB wages

Too may hands stretched out to bleed you lot dry, all trying to divide and rule, Get shot of all of them and and get that ''National Register of Electricians''
As a Registered Electrician, you won't need Scam Providers, you won't need the JIB, or any other body to ply your trade for remuneration!! You will be Qualified Registered Tradesman in your own right!!!

If you guys cannot see this as being a good thing I don't know what can happen in the industry that will be.


Its the domestic sector which has been hit by these 5 day courses, not industrial or commercial.


By introducing a domestic NVQ3 with the 2330 tech cert or whichever it is now. Spread over a year on-site portfolio and only allowing this for entry plus 17th & 2391 you are stopping the 5DW or at least slowing them down.

It boils down to - if you are making it NVQ3 as minimum to work on domestic premises then the only substance you have for this is to provide a NVQ3 for domestic only. Because As domestic sparks we can't put tray work or basket work into our portfolio because we don't do it.


If you can't see this as a good idea for all parties involved in Part P I don't know what you will.


Its the JIB & Unions seperating the industry by asking for the NVQ3 for a gold card. If you work on doemstic you don't need it!

I understand what your saying; and your fears mate, and I wouldn't trust those sneaky b******s at Chicken JIBlets further than I could throw them. The saying 'devide and rule' could of been thought up with them in mind. However I still don't like the idea of seperate qualifications for seperate fields.
