My father was in Mosquitos in Bomber Command, on average 10 % did not come back on missions. He did 87 missions, I always thought of it as having a gun with 10 chambers and one bullet. Then you pull the trigger 87 times! They were brave.

From the numerous national reports of the case, The dry lining screw was into a metal partition, the cpc had been blown away due to the numerous times the fault had tripped the MCB, a R1 R2 and other tests would have found it. Inaccuracies were found in the Certificates and the testing...

Well when the ECA said that they were going to merge with the NICEIC, I was very suspicious, it now looks like a shotgun wedding. We really need to get shot of these Schemes, a Gasafe style system would be much better, £220 a year local policing of standards, helpline. End. When you add up the...

So the guy who did the testing did not know what he was doing he said so, he even asked a mate to help him. The QS was in the office signing off 40+ Certificates, he signed off the cert in this case with errors. The company were criticised for not ensuring that the guy was competent to to...

So why are we still paying for Assement every year, the EAS standard first stated that Risk based assesment up to every 3 years could be used in 2009, but DCLG refused to allow it! Why? June 2012 Risk based assesment was approved by DCLG and in the EAS document. Since then the Schemes have...

  While we are all discussing which register, have we thought about what our choices would be with the merged a ECA/NICEIC Monopoly, there will be NO competition, Membership fees will go through the roof.  There are already rumours of new Registers to join, run by the Monopoly. We need one...

If you pay an upfront fee for joining and assessment together with a years membership fee, you have paid for two assessments, so shouldn't you be assessed before they take the next fee, this was the stated procedure. Otherwise they make £200 x per member extra in the first year. Kerchiiiiiiing...

The replies above are correct, the criticism by others should also be directed more to the NICEIC who will have anyone with a cheque book. The Schemes have created a dangerous situation with their membership grab, preying on those that believe a short course can make you Competent. The Schemes...

Well Professional Electricians magazine is dependant on advertising, so prints this ****, rather than topics that affect Our Trade, so any criticism of the Competence or Accreditation industries will not appear. .

The whole Part P fiasco, created by a bunch of Scammers in DCLG Buildings Division with the assistance of the Schemes, have been responsible for damaging Our Trade. DCLG gave LABC responsibility for Part P of the building regulations, then stated that LABC could not charge, to bring someone in...

Set up some restrictive practices, tell everyone that it for safety reasons, then bleed the trade dry, with constant new courses. Set up a Competent Person Scam for safety reasons, then set up a committee with other Scams, agree a standard so low you can reach it in a few weeks, to keep the...

I keep hearing horror stories about JCC, I would not want to use their kit on a large job and carry the can for them.

All standards have disappeared from the trade, the Scams don

Hi Andy, It is understandable that when you have spent time keeping up with the regs, that having a qualification as evidence is the professional thing to do. It is a sad that there are NICEIC Approved Contractors that do not support their employees in this way and take advantage of the weak...

The screw was in a live cable in a metal partition, done under the 16th, no RCD The circuit was made live early in the project, then no IR test after, so what did the Cert say? The person that tested was not Competent under Part P, they were operating the QS system. Obviously if the QS did...

So no inspection since 2009 but you have paid for them, sounds like a total Scam. I would ask for a refund of all those

It looks like the Part P trough, is big enough to feed even more Scams.
