[electrician786]

Hey all, i was just wondering if anyone knew what jib grade I would come under with the following qualifications?

City & Guilds 2330 level 2 & 3

17th edition wiring regs

Any advice will be appreciated

Thanks

if you know the same girl I spoke to,

NOTHING

you are nothing without an NVQ3 :slap

apparently.

You will need the NVQ3 and AM2 as well as the above qualifications to enrol with the JIB apparently.

And will that make you an approved electrician.

I am not 100% sure I THINK so, do not quote Me, all the details are on the JIB website.

With my current qualifications I would not even get any sort of grading?

 

[Zeespark]

Nope, NVQ 3 is required, I phoned them to make sure.

Good topic I consider myself to be an approved electrician on my card it says completed apprenticeship nvq level 3 2391 and 17th edition regs but I'm only listed as an installation electrician where as other people I know have same qualifications but there's say approved electrician can any one shed any light on this cheers

Mark when did you get all of your qualifications sorted? I only ask as the JIB grade you after getting them all and having a certain amount of time on their register as to the grade you are if that makes sense?

Passed my apprenticeship in 2006 and 2391 in 2009 17th last year on my card it says 16th just checked my card expires this year so maybe it's cos I didn't have my 17th at the time

 

[Zeespark]

I wouldn't know about expired cards Myself Mark.

It just seems like a load of crap. There are time served electricians I have met who have not got any qualifications at all, but there workmanship is some of the best I've ever seen. And the JIB would not even grade them. There's something wrong with the grading system.

 

[Zeespark]

It's just a matter of butt covering by the JIB, if something goes wrong, and the electrician has papers, then the JIB's insurance carrier has no reason to pay out on a claim, I could be wrong though.

As far as I can see, unless you are employed by someone else, Youy need an NVQ3 to even be considered.

If you are employed you could be a Labourer.

After reading it I think the JIB are a load of ******* and a waste of time.

Its a back scratching club Phil, a lot of the big employers won't even consider your application without a JIB grading card.

I know it is, ask Steps

It seems to be a big money scam. Starts with qualifications, all the way to governing bodies, and then on top of that all the extra courses we all have to take all the time.
