[QUOTE="Manator, post: 390486, member: 9561"] The catch 22 situation was never around when I qualified. All electricians were employed by companies under a recognised apprentice scheme. I do not think there were any night schools teaching the subject other than on a basic level. I seriously think that the level 3 and how it is gained these days is a total farce. You can sign up to a company, send pictures of yourself in a hard hat and Hi Vis doing something that may not have been you, and get a NVQ3? I recently did a job where I laid some cable management in, and started to pull cables through. The lad we took on to assist did not have anything to do with that part of the job but I found his mate taking pictures of him going through the motions of doing the job. Lets face it, if I posted a picture of myself in the cockpit of a fighter jet, would that imply I was a fighter pilot? Apparently if its for a NVQ 3 then yes I am. NVQ 3 defaced and devalued.
