Electrician Title

Jaymack
There seems to be a case for a UK wide legislation for the same as the link below- A registered bod wtth any one of the schemes should be made mandatory. Also a householder should be only allowed to carry out the minimum .......... but to what extent and how to regulate as Gas Safe? Lobby your MP and your scheme provider.   
Quote: Scotland’s electrical industry has once again backed new legislation that will prevent anyone from calling themselves an electrician unless they have been certified.

    Perhaps Jaymack, but what level of actual qualification is required? A simple open book regs exam is very far from suitable, at least without a much higher pass mark. One comes across this every day, members of "schemes" are often far from "qualified" in proper terms. Registration by itself is simply a money-making scam, it needs a correct level of qualification, monitoring and CPD. None of these things are in place or working.


    I really don't know if Gas Safe works or not, but it is fairly expensive. Remember it was changed after Corgi proved unsatisfactory, we have the same problem with the schemes now.
