Fastrack electrician training?

Foffer
Considering that the country seems to be short of electricians, I wonder who is going to install all the electric vehicle charging points that will be required very soon as the EV really takes a hold.  I understand that the installer needs to be approved by the OLEV and will need to be trained to C&G2919-02 or similar, but its what comes before that stage that I am concerned about.  From knowing nothing about electricity, it is now possible it seems to become an electrician with just 18 days training (C&G 4141-01, 2393-10, 2382-18).


I did a four year apprenticeship and could understand the training becoming shorter, but 18 days?


Once the EV charger install rush is over what will all these "trained" domestic installers be doing?

    Here in Italy Electricians and Plumbers make most of their professional preparation directly on the field, that is, learning the jobs directly on the field by an experienced Electrician or Plumber.

    Electrical standards are here regulated by the Comitato Elettrotecnico Italiano (CEI)

    Exactly, I think all trades should primarily be taught on-the-job by existing skilled tradesmen.  The classroom qualifications should be achieved alongside practical skills training.  It is clear that subjects such as the regulations must be taught in the classroom and understanding proven by passing exams, but this is no substitute for hands-on training.
