do you need a qualification to do private jobs even though you are competant?

[that bloke.]

you know when i did my nvq year one my tutors would sit down and pretty much tell us the answers to our questions in our exams.
sure education plays a big part but many many educated qualified plumbers start out in the big wide world after going through college pretty clueless.
perhaps a lot of it falls down to the individual qualified or not , some are good at what they do and some are not , and to be fair the only way to tell if someone is truly competent is to test them , would you test a plumber if he came to plumb in your dish washer?
