How Skilled is your Builder?Category: Business
Article added by: UK Trade Street Ltd
When you find a builder you want to hire, many things may be on your mind: how much will the project cost, how long it will take, etc.? One thing you will probably take for granted, however, is that they are fully trained in building! But a recent rash of "fast-track” training courses for tradesmen of all types have been churning out tradespeople lacking industry-recognised skill levels. So what do you do if you want to find a carpenter or electrician without fear of being electrocuted or crushed by wonky shelves? UKTradeStreet has the answer.
Recent reports from a number of industry governing bodies such as the Electrical Contractors' Association (ECA) and SummitSkills, the skills council for the building engineering industry, have warned of a growing number of tradesmen in the market who are poorly skilled having completed speedy training courses that simply don’t go far enough.
Some of these short courses are sold with the ‘promise’ of being able to earn high salaries post-qualification, yet fail to provide enough real work experience or skilled teaching to meet the basic industry expectations. While the builders, plumbers and carpenters falling for these under-par courses need to be wary, consumers also need to ensure that their work is going to be carried out by a truly skilled practitioner.
UKTradeStreet can help those looking for an approved tradesman who really does have the skills to back up their qualifications with their online ‘find a tradesman’ service. They register only recommended tradesmen who have proved that they meet all the necessary skill sets. They list tradesmen of all types who come highly recommended, are fully approved and certified and have carried out rigorous training in their field.
The UKTradeStreet service, which is open to the public and the private sector, also allows potential customers to register projects that need to be undertaken. These projects are then matched to reliable and professional local tradesmen who provide non-obligation quotes.
If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled tradesman, or if you are that tradesman and want to differentiate yourself from the rogue element, go to www.uktradestreet.com to find out more.
