They did it in 5 weeks

[Bacon]

I've just been reading this and it seems that NICEIC like the 5 week course because,

There's a shortfall of women sparks out there.

Sparky policewomen who took a course to become electricians launch a female-only franchise | This is Money

Ha that is just laughable, I wonder if they are still around in 2 years time?

What happens when they find a spider in the loft?

Shame on the NIC for promoting these silly courses

]What happens when they find a spider in the loft?

prob wonder why so many time served sparks use jb's

on another note....ok you all know i'm a 5ww but it took me a year to complete with he home study etc... no way could you do it in 5 weeks from start to finish

I think they have been going over a year or so already, I've got fed up reading about them.

They say the market they are after is the smaller jobs like fitting an outside light or changing a pendant which they claim most sparks are not interested in.

Well I would like to see them spend all day chasing render and red brick, or bending a bit of 32mm conduit.

This is taking 5WW to the extreme and should never be allowed to start with.

Fair play to them they've seen a gap in the market.

They will do ok because they seem to have gone all guns blazing for the "male dominated work enviroment & we want more females in it" sketch.........with the massive (what looks like proffessional & dare I say excellent) publicity & nicey bandwagon (lets use these to further the niceic reputation & courses) on board they will I suspect go far.

Thats not to say I agree with the super quick become an electrician in 5 days courses, that are openly touted by our scam providers.

this is exactly how I started out after re-training, though I did have the advantage of having spent 20 years in manufacturing where electricity was part and parcel of my work. And after 8 years its exactly the sort of thing I am trying to get away from, leaving a gap for someone else.

Reckon they'd make a complete fist of it............

 

[streetlighter]

I'm waiting to see what the Mrs makes of them LOL

 

[paul b b]

i cant help looking at those croc clips and what ....well you get the idea.

used to be a lesbian who ran a pub in my local town, her surname was biggerdyke, and its exactly what she was!

 

[davetheglitz]

I was in a partnership with a female electrician. We expected a big demand from old dears and sheltered housing etc - but it never happened. I can't help feeling these girls will find the same.

In my experience people want their electricians to be as local as possible (perhaps it's just a Cornish thing!)

We did get the benefit of the pink pound however as she batted for the other side and it's a very closed community.
