You can get fake trade credentials and qualifications certificates from any of the scammers who advertise on Facebook instagram. But why would you it doesn’t make you look good or clever, it just makes look like a pilchard. If you want the qualifications and the gold card then work for them and do your time at college. But to be fair there are plenty of qualified registered spark out there do dreadful and dangerous installs . And sadly that’s never Going to change . Great news weekly as always Joe👍

The point is, they are not good enough to get the qualifications but still want to do work as an electrician.

@retrozmachine1189 3 ай бұрын

At the very least people should be checking licences and card numbers before employing any trade, if for nothing else than seeing if they have any judgements etc against them. For this card it's right there on the front page of the ECS website, easily found with a web search. There's really no excuse for getting caught out by a faker like this.

how is it possible that someone who has so poor training can be allowed to install stuff? ...I was already capable of fitting safe electricals by age 15 (my hands were big enough at last) ...back at school I was one of those weird kids who was reading the 17th edition like a best selling novel.......

I'm completely uncertified (Beyond a 20-year old PAT qualification) so the only electrical work I ever do is my own, but I get the impression I might've done a better job than the JIB holder - I always put safety _over_ speed, which of course is the safest way to go about things. ⚡👍 So long as I can be forgiven for needing 15 minutes to rewire a ceiling rose... 🐌💨😋

@deang5622 3 ай бұрын

But even if you are restricting yourself to your own electrical work in your own property, eventually in time you may vacate that property, and if the following owners/residents receive an electric shock from substandard work you have done, you are still going to be prosecuted. You still need to comply with the Building Regulations (Part P) and if the work you do is notifiable, then you still need to notify building control of the work, you still need to comply to BS7671 and your work still has to be certified by someone who is appropriately qualified. So the fact you are limiting your electrical work to your own property does not necessarily make it legal.

@jurassicsparks5220 3 ай бұрын

I always hear this response from non sparkies - “I’ve been told that I do a better job. Blah blah” 95% of the time the work is dangerous. So, forgive me for being sceptical.

@@deang5622 Aye, good point! 👍 So far, the work I've done is two replacement light switches (One of which got broken by accident and left exposed conductors, so had to be remedied ASAP) and a replacement outlet, and any works I do are pointed out and (If need be) checked during my next electrical inspection, so they're not entirely without professional oversight at least. 😇

All I hear is ( gold card ) 😂 it means nothing back in the day we had jib electrician / approved / technician BUT all you need these days is Part P ( FACT ) Comercial work can be carried by a domestic part p sparks but a Comercial sparks can't certify domestic work. The sudden gold car is a joke but like the ( master electrician in usa ) What we need is DOMESTIC SPARKS IS BASIC THEN COMMERCIAL SPARK CAN CARRY OUT BOTH after completing a Comercial training as lets be honest a sparks who has just become part p after NVQ should not be allowed to work on 3 phase until they have got a bit more knowledge. But as I say the ONLY thing you need at present is Part P ( not good enough in my eyes )

@zeljomirtanackovic1529 2 ай бұрын

I understand where you are coming from, but I think it’s not so much about qualifications and which once should be allowed to work in which branch, I think it’s down to electrician to understand he’s capabilities. I am talking as sparks with 17th edition, NVQlevel 2 and part P this is where I started as domestic electrician I new my limits than and now I got way more qualifications like 2391-92, fire alarms, emergency lights, ev charger installation. Point I am making people should know they limits and instead just have a go at something they not too sure about take additional courses and learn before you just have a go. And people who get into this kind of mess getting someone electric shock or even wurst electrocuted because of poor workmanship should be jailed.

@deang5622 3 ай бұрын

Claims to be a qualified electrician and yet still does shoddy work and has a level of competency so poor that people receive an electrical shock from his work. That doesn't say much for electrician's training and education.

to say some of the work was shoddy is a understatement
