mates put up light fittings, make off sockets, put up trunking, yada yada yada. Stuff you can learn in 5 mins flat. The stuff no one is gonna pay more that £10 an hour for. Simple stuff. Simples. The big sites are made up of mates. It's a good start for someone to understand how electrical installations work. From there you learn about distribution, switching, organisation, deliveries, hierarchy, everything.
like the time that one of the workmates at this place we were at got a job in the effluent plant they had at the pack of the factory......so we goes out to wakefield on a friday night...and he`s tellin this bird that he`s a forensic scientist with a ferrari....
surely an electricians mate is all about pulling cable/s in...go get this....fetch us that....support this while i fix it etc etc...general mule......and at the end of it you might....just might get to terminate/make off.....and basic stuff like that......if you are at college on day release..whatever...then you aint a `mate`...more an apprentice....`mates` are just donkeys to fetch n carry.....
that is true , im not saying your wrong on it , but the bare minimum they want you to have is at least to be on the course
perish the thought....NO. the only difference is that an improver or apprentice has hi sight on higher academic goals.
I've worked with 'mates' who are doing a sparks job, day in, day out. They are flippin good, but they are never gonna do college. They started out at the bottom and learned it as thy went along. There is no economic space for people to fetch and carry. On all the jobs I've been on, everyone fetches and carries on deliveries, and loading out.
'Mates' are the butter on the sandwich. Essential to make everything go smoothly, and worth every penny.
You can't run successful jobs, with all sparks thinking 'I ain't doing that (never been on one yet) and all apprentices with their tongues up sparks bumholes.

never claimed anything else.....my boss sees me as an improver....Glen spark is an improver, however much he likes to come on here with his name in red bigging it up like a spark. Hes got a few steps yet till his gold card innit glen!
i sense a bit of resentment here Voltz....Glen spark is an improver, however much he likes to come on here with his name in red bigging it up like a spark. Hes got a few steps yet till his gold card innit glen!
anyone with enough experience can look at a drawing and know what to do , but do they understand the theory behind the drawing
