Gold cards are white on the back now.

You can have much text as you like on the back of a gold card. They really ain't worth a lot these days given how easy they are to get. I have always been a great believer in the JIB and ECS scheme, but given the time scale the card can now been gained and the amount in circulation, the industry is on its knees. At the end of the day its all about who's got the most money in their pocket each week and I bet you it ain't the person with the most amount of text of the back of a Gold Card.

Open book 2391, EAL courses, easy gain Gold Card etc etc industry will be finished within 10 years.

Its not 'easy' as you say to get an approved elec card Anthony, your getting your wires crossed a bit I think.
It's quite insulting too as Ive worked hard and am proud to be at the stage I am.....yet I know I don't take home pay what I'm worth.
Yes i agree it's far too easy for Joe bloggs to go to a college or online these days do part p, 18th edition (that is open book) and crack on.....
But JIB still has its grading as defined as it always has done.....
To be approved you need:
NVQ3
2391 or is it 2394 today? Test and inspect which is not open book and with generally a 30% pass rate not exactly handed out easily.
At least 3 years working as electrician.

If approved cards are getting handed out willy nilly as you say......where's your evidence?

It seems cr8p for us more experienced.
Only '17th edition' and 'inspection and testing'.
No sign of 'A cert', ' B cert' (approved) or 'C cert' (Technician) as used to be.
It's still gold both sides though.
