I spoke to a plumber the other day who has just been on acourse for his Part"P" which entitles him to wire lighting type B+C and power to type"C",4 Days,and if he wanted to be able to wire a house he needed to pay extra and do an extra day???????????????Who would support the introduction of a Licence scheme for electricans, as used in Australia, Canada, New Zealand etc etc.
Well, you can.
I have heard so many electrcians say "what we need is a licensing scheme like in Australia, that would solve the problem..... But it will never happen"
Take a look at L-E-C.org.uk - The Licensed Electricians Campaign
If the vast majority of electricians supported this campaign, the government wiould have to listen and act.
Comments please.
Are you a supporter?
I think I would rather keep the scheme providers guessing at present, it's early days.
If you are a doubter take a look at this site, it will open your eyes.

Hi lec,
Can you put your cards on the table please and disclose your interests in such a scheme. Do you see yourself as running such a scheme and what salary would you be requiring before all the profits go to charity ?
I don't object to your license, neither do I support something that seems as if it's still wishful thinking.
All I and many others probably want to know, is your next steps and time scales.
You said the scheme providers will still have a roll to play, get them involved, speed things up and get it in place.
I am sure if you show clear actions and time scales you would get more backing?
obviously you have assumed I do not know how a not for profit organisation works. Sorry but you shouldnt assume as its dangerous. So you are trying to tell everbody on here then that a not for profit organisation does not pay any salaries ?
You state on your website that a certain persons services were dispensed with from the NICEIC. I do not wish to make comment. However, it has been known that persons who have a beef with their company, whatever and whoever,have often tried to set up in competition as revenge. Could this be you ?.Have you failed assesments from any of our current scheme providers?
Any organisation that does not pay salaries Lec is eventually doomed to failure, such an important thing as a regulation body cannot be left to chance can it ?
I have my suspicions lec, and I have merly asked for you to put your cards onthe table. I will put my cards on the table, I doubt your motives.
This is submitted to the forum with absolute respect to lec, and is no more than a politician having to declare interest etc.I feel these questions need to be asked.
I tend to agree with "not for profit" being unattainable but on the other hand how does GASSAFE work It is recognised in court for prossecutions im sure if u asked a judge sherrif or magistrate what the elctrical sheme equivelant to Gas Safe was they wouldnt be able to give a definative answer as there are way to many and adding another one to the mob isnt going to sort it out this requires sorting out at a government level and a self,government funded NICEIC type where training ,regulation and advice are available from one source across the board then the public /main contractors would also have one complaint route
I would suggest you review the links you give in support of your arguement. The above information came straight from the link YOU gave to support your campaign. You will find that anyone who supports this huge step will need these basic questions answering. You perhaps shouldnt of used that link. This is a democracy, and unfortuneately the only insults I can see have come from you. If I am to support you, then unfortuneately I wanna know who you are. YOU raised those questions by using the link.Jason, you seem to have a desire to make this personal. How sad.
Read what I said, the salary for the person or persons running the scheme would be appropriate for the position and I do not expect that to be me.
If you knew how they work why ask such a question.
My web site is www.l-e-c.org.uk, it does not name the NICEIC anywhere and does not talk about a person that was dispensed with. Get your web sites sorted before making accusations.
I put my cards on the table, now it should be your turn.
Who are you, why are you trying to discrediting my campaign?
You’re wasting your time buddy, I have nothing to hide! I’m just an electrician trying to make life better for all electricians. if the majority want it, that’s great. If I fail, then at least I had the guts to try instead of just complaining.
If you want to make things personal, go find someone that might drop to your level.
I thought this forum was about debate and opinions, not personal attacks.
Perhaps I should ask you which approval body you have links with.
Please don't answer my questions, it's not important.
