Skill and knowledge wise he would run rings around 90% of degree qualified people but he lacks the bit of paper. |

Shame, he sounds like he should be good at it. Until someone explains exactly how the regulations define "engineering work", I don't think we should get too excited about it. Even so, there are no small number of nurses who could serve as doctors for many purposes, but do you want them prescribing drugs they have no training about? Or performing surgery? Regulation may stop a small number from hanging a shingle who could do a good job of most things, but when being qualified is important don't you think regulation is important? |

The bulk of what he does is design work. I would call him prodigious ;) https://www.freetronics.com.au/ is 'some' of his design work and some more here https://www.superhouse.tv/products/ It is the sole operators like Jon that might feel some impact from the regs due to a lack of qualifications. People like Kerlin will most likely come under the umbrella of the companies they work from and as such nothing will change apart from likely the job title. |
