If someone is full time employed at, say, //.National Installer.// and they fit alarms in the evening they are hobby installers, and full time engineers for the worlds largest company. They are trade.

Not sure what you mean, need to elaborate or don't bother.

if you buy a panel are you then trade...

No.

it was quite hard to get trade at one time...

It still is. Just because a couple of people have decided that they don't like hobby installers doesn't mean that everyone not NSI Gold should be shot.

It has never been harder to get Trade Status...? Just look at our requirements.

3. All applicants are subject to a one month probationary period.
