Hi Damselindistress,

Yes this does explain everything, a teacher with no Electrical Training working as an Electrician and as you say to become a qualified Electrician takes years.

That is really really bad, I don't know what to say, no wonder there are no Western Trades working in Qatar.

This has taken away any idea of every coming to Qatar, even as a contracts manager I could not oversee such practices,

Any proper trades person could not live with themselves. Especially as far as Electricity is concerned. We are talking about people's lives.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

But please think of yourself and your family see someone, complain, this is completely wrong.

Qatar are in line for hosting the world cup I will bring this to the attention to the British Institute of Electrical Engineers and NICEIC. When Brish people are informed of these practices they will not go to Qatar.

Take Care of yourself.

Mick
