Which scheme?

[Adam_151]

An industry wide agreement means that a Level 3 qualification, or equivalent, will become the minimum technical requirement for all new applications for the position of Qualified Supervisor:

I always thought a QS was required to have CG2391 which is level 3 anyway, and infact I think CG introduced the qualification at the request of the NICEIC who wanted a suitable qualification for QS....

Not sure about the rest of the statement, it seems to be specifically asking for the two newly introtroduced qualifications which seem to be the next step in reducing the content of the standard electricians qualifications!, surely those with 2360/2330 L3 and 2391 etc won't have to go back to school if they are appointed a QS down the line?

I have cut and pasted this from"elesewhere". but may be of help

David Thomas, the ECA's Education and Training Manager said: "The ECA looks forward to the day when everybody working unsupervised on electrical installations is properly qualified to this standard."

Which could, and should, have happened years ago, if Part Pee had actually been about safety and not about trade protection. But if Part Pee had actually required everyone to be qualified then the industry would be up in arms because there are so many 'electricians' working without qualifications and relying on a 'supervisor'

This just looks like protectionism for the big boys.
I was working in IT and was bored. I took the 2330 day release courses and got some practical experience. This was done 10 years ago.

My cousin is 2 years into a medical degree, after waking up on her 30th birthday and deciding she wanted more than the call centre manager's job she held.

In this brave new world, I couldn't retrain as an electrician. I was 35 when I started, so would not have found an employer willing to train me to NVQ level. The feeling seems to be that a late starter will most likely become a competitor.

However, I could retrain as a doctor.

I wonder if David Thomas could explain why they have been allowing people with nowhere near an equivalent standard to register? This may be a new qualification but there have always been others available which were of a higher standard than the minimum they decided to accept.

Maybe I should be one of the many kitchen fitters who don't appear to give a toss about part p and carry on doing electrics without a care in the world.

Well I hope you get hauled over the coals for doing so.

I probably would get hauled over the coals. But I've never heard of a kitchen fitter getting into trouble for not complying.
