Question: What do you calla scouser with an HND?
Answer: A liar!!!
This poll is for all Forum members. Please read the poll carefully and then choose the best description in the context of your membership of the forum. I can't include all options, so you might like to go into more detail by posting in the thread.
The poll is confidential (forum names are not visible).
For the purposes of the poll:
'Apprenticeship' means a pre-planned formal arrangement for multiple years of structured classroom and on-the-job training.
'Short Course' means a concentrated course of less than 6 weeks of mostly classroom based learning. (Just a C&G 2381 / 2382 'regs' course doesn't count.)
'Electrician' means anyone doing hands-on installation, maintenance, repair or testing of electrical systems (normally for payment) and includes 'domestic installer'.
It's a shame you added that bit Handy, as I think quite a few of the DI courses are longer than that. Mine was 6 months and I have seen others around 17 weeks, but I wouldn't class myself as having done anything else apart from a 'short course', as thats what it was compared to an apprenticeship.
It would have been interesting to see how many DI's are actually on the site, but I think alot of them will tick electrician 'other' as the course will have been over 6 weeks, so we may not get a real picture of how many are on the forum.
If you please don't mind me asking, after doing your course, have you trained as far as you wish to go or will you carry on and do an NVQ3, Get Graded ECS/JIB etc?

...I am not a number...i am a free man... i think i will have to go with Vic on this one,in that 85% of all statistics are made up on the spot. Anybody interested enough,can come round me pad,have a brew,and i will give chapter and verse,with the proof to hand. Any other way,gets close to internet dating,with heights,careers and hair colour,all possibly given a shiny buff.
For example,would a survey that asked every member (male,on this occasion) did he consider his appendage,above or below average size,give us an accurate picture?
Still,it fills the gap pre;New Year :icon12:
I have put Electrical Engineer as that is the closest to the Electrical/Mechanical role I had in the Royal Navy. However I have also completed short courses, and am considering working as a DI in the near future.
