Odd, isn't it? Now most boilers have electronic control, they are still fitted by a monkey with a 'gas safe' badge. Yes - people call in a Plumber to fix a boiler! People expect an electrician to be able to fix a washing machine. What some tradesmen lack is an understanding of "Control Logic". Time Served Qualified Plumber - what does this mean - can bend and fit pipes? I recall at a place where I worked we employed "Instalation Electricians! and "Maintenance Electricians" Different aptitudes. I spent some time training service leavers to become electricians. The company I worked for also ran training courses for plumbers and they came to me for basic electrics as part of their course. The intent was to educate them sufficient to safely install (in compliance with building and wiring regulations) power supplies, bonding and controls for central heating, showers etc. On completion of their course they had a portfolio folder with all the stuff they had covered and been assessed as doing correctly at least once. They could of course forget it all when they went out of the gate ....... Agreed. Such schemes don't take into account the persons aptitude and preferences. |
