i would be iterested to know what one would call a person who just to change , for example an aps on a boiler , requires to use test equipment that he or she has trained to use , so as to diagnose the fault. Then remove and replace the part because by law they can due to being qualified with a pass mark of 100%.Then test the appliance using different instruments that they have been trained to use , so as to verify that all is working to the correct parameters.Anyone like to add more.
I appear to have rattled a cage.
I don't think you understand where I was going. I think you should be suitably qualified to use the title, there is quite a good page on regulation here:

When the EU gets their way, then the title of Engineer will become protected as it is in most other European Countries, Canada, USA, OZ, NZ, India, S. Africa etc. That will sort the "plumbers" out.

But you're no longer a plumber kirk. You are a learning facilitator nowi cant wait for this to happen, the times i have been insulted by people calling me a heating engineer or a gas engineer, i always have to correct them and tell them i am a PLUMBER and they better not forget it, a great honest TRADE and those of us who spent the time learningthe trade should be proud to be known as plumbers (even if we have diversified/dumbed down into gas, oil solar etc )
