I'm delivering a Wiring Regulations course and one of the candidates has completed his City and Guilds 2357, his NVQ Level 3 portfolio and his AM2, yet he confessed today that throughout his training and apprenticeship that he never handled, terminated or even saw a piece of steel conduit, steel trunking or steel cable tray whilst on his journey to becoming a qualified electrician..

Is this a sign of the times with electrical training as an industry?
