NICEIC Certification Scheme The NICEIC creating new roles in the electrical business?

Gavin John Hyde said:

Had this email pop up in my inbox, seems the NICEIC are looking into creating a new role in a electrical business, by sounds of it one rung below QS... Not sure what responsibilities it would give them or would it be the case they can then sign off the certificates?
No doubt it will be an extra money spinner if certsure have any involvement.
Assessing individual competence of electricians
Dear contractor,
The Qualified Supervisor (QS) model has served you well for over 60 years and we plan to continue to offer that model to you our customers.

However, we also appreciate that some electricians are looking for routes to recognise the competence of individuals working within your businesses and who operate under the supervision of a QS and PDH

We are currently investigating ways to assess individual electrician's competence within the existing scheme structure. We want to consult you and get your feedback on our emerging thoughts.

Many aspects of this proposal still need to be ironed out but we are interested in your initial views on this issue and would like to ask you a few questions on the subject, which will not take more than two minutes.

As the posts above said, I know of several firms with one person as the QS who gets a bunch of cowboys to do the work, was offered some work from one such outfit, told me i was too expensive and dont worry about testing it, just make it up so long as it works.... not for me i am afraid.
These firms usually have a handful of jobs done well to a half decent standard ready for the annual assessment, the others are usually very poor.
