Can we start again? Lol
Before part p there was the NICEIC & ECA. When part p came about the NIC realised that it would be easier to lower the bar and let anyone in rather than make them all become AC so they started the mickey mouse club (DI).What is wrong with being a DI.? The limited scope of works we do does not require AC.
I've seen plenty of poor workmanship from AC's.
What's the difference? A bigger cheque?
i wouldnt even say that bit is trueCanoeboy said:Its not a matter of competence, just a matter of the bigger the cheque the more your looked after......
i dont have and wouldnt put any scam info on any of my paperwork etc. some business cards have 'part p registered', but thats itmight make my cards and invoices look slightly better due to the letters AC instead of DI.
I have an e-mail footer with the various schemes we are members of. Nothing on anything else.i dont have and wouldnt put any scam info on any of my paperwork etc. some business cards have 'part p registered', but thats it
As an NICEIC AC i woke up,one morning to be told i was still competent and would become a DI at no extra charge if i wanted!The biggest scam on the trade in recent times is at the introduction of " Competent Persons " " Part Pee" schemes ...NICEIC decided to ignore the fact that all their existing AC members had already been checked , registered as competent , often for many years , and launched a second DI scheme .
Now I'm not sure on this but did all the existing members who were already competent in house bashing have to join the second DI scheme & pay twice ?
And if so .......why did they stand for it ?
I could say it was similar for people like myself who, for many years, had been graded as a JIB Approved Electrician but was suddenly deemed incompetent for house bashing unless I joined one of the new schemes . There you are running projects on hospitals , schools , MOD , Police , local councils , industrial etc etc but , on the introduction of Phart Pee are deemed to be incompetent for house bashing .
What a load of old ballcocks it all is .
As for what scheme I'm in its a "Mind your own business" from me .
