Your answers Gentlemen, please. This is indicating a serious problem in the Industry. Trust is now zero. I am disgusted with the behavior of these alleged "inspectors" who are dim, dumb, deaf and blind, and cannot read the BBB. It is not good enough is it?
"inspectors" who are dim, dumb, deaf and blind, and cannot read the BBB” The answer is in this phrase. Training centres are too willing to accept people without the relevant skills base in maths/english to successfully navigate the courses and emerge at the end of their studies with a meaningful, synthesised understanding of their subject. In this country we still have a fundamental problem that trades, such as those of the electrician, are for those not quite academically capable enough of doing something more useful with their lives. Most schools now have a sixth form attached and will try to keep the academically able students in their establishments. Those not deemed bright enough are directed to the local establishments offering vocational courses. Bright students are pushed/opt into engineering courses, do a Btec and then go of to university. Most people think of an electrician as somebody who does just manually (skilled) work. I agree with davezawadi’s sentiments but to solve it you will need a register, similar to Gas Safe, and inspectors would need to have minimum qualifications of something like the old 2391 and an advanced Design qualification. Given the experience of Part P bodies or the likes of Gas Safe who encourage their members to guard the secrets of the dark arts of gas works from the general public is that the way you would want to go?
