In my defense, those mushrooms were considerably more potent than expected.

The trainee shouldn’t be doing any work unsupervised, very poor quality of work.

For me, the entire Level 2 needs an overhaul. It's full of irrelevant stuff like building services exams and health and safety and not enough practical. Learning about the construction of an atom or resistors in series is a complete waste of time for an installation electrician. It should teach the basics of how to use the guidance notes and OSG to select breakers, cable sizing, basic testing and fault finding. Then it should be all practical. How to run in and strip cable, how to mount stuff properly, how to terminate properly, how different circuits work, especially lighting. Proper earthing. Instead we have irrelevant modules and stuff that is covered elsewhere (H&S is covered by your CSCS/ECS card for example). The whole thing is a waste of time. Even the science and principles is taken completely out of context of the job of installation electrician.

My understanding about the electrician apprenticeship in my area of the Pacific NW it encompasses a five year program with 900 hours of classroom instruction one day a week and 8,000 hours of on the job training. There are so many areas of electrical work, inside wiring, commercial, industrial which takes time to learn.

looks like the work of a builder

"Not my job" Right Gary! 😉😜

He was on a butchery’s course. 😂👍😂👍

Looks better than some of the so called professional work I see.

Got your work cut out there 😯

Issue with the last light was too much sheathing taken off right? (Not an electrician)

As a "trainee electrician" who is currently at night college 2 nights a week for a year, and then hopefully "level 3" next year, ive never heard of this so called "short course" people are on about? Surely the way im doing it over 2 years or more, gaining knowledge and experience is the best way? You simply just cant be a professional overnight? Surely?

Wont blame the trainee , its the training providers that show them dreams to become electricians overnight and after spending fortune, trainees get pressurised to work and does blunders like these. The training providers needs to stop giving short courses and train them well so they can work independently

Maybe the customer had a go? it's a common story they think it will be cheaper than to get an electrician in to complete the work.

Defo NOT one of Garry's student done that work.

Wow, maybe his class was needlework, or baking.

Bring Mark Davis here so that we can listen to him rant 😅

🤯

sounds like the trainee probably needs to be with a better training provider & guidance from an experienced person.

The hardest job is another man's job (most times).

More like the customers work or the previous owners or a mate.

I have had ZERO official electrical training and could easily do better than this. Why the mitre? Such an odd way to fo it. What's with the switch wire? Why all the junction boxes. Why not decent conduit?

All I can say is 😂

Thats pretty ropey 😢

This is what you get when you get people who are handed free courses and training providers who just want bums on seats to bring in the ££££’s

Hes a plumber

If this was done by a 'trainee' why refer to him as an electrician? 🤔 Plus a trainee/student/pupil is only as good as their teacher... I'm sure Gary taught you that 😏

Perhaps they are colour blind.! Do these training course's test the trainee's for colour deficiency. Answer, probably NO. When my son left in 2016 and went on a year training course in level 1 Electrical. Only 1 of the 3 recognised training colleges in the Bristol, S.G. and Bath area tested for colour blindness before offering a placement. Guess which one we went with.
