Hi All


I have just completed ECCTIS skill map assessment, so stupid that I forgot to provide my apprenticeship cert to ECCTIS, thus the outcome is NVQ2 only. I have just provide my craft cert in EE only.

Attached is ECCTIS's recommendation for me.

Dose anyone know is that mean when i complete all these task, I am eligible to obtain ECS gold card?

Also, NVQ2 means nothing, or useless?

Last but not least, I would like to know where can take single unit of NETK3/01 (Understand Health, Safety and Environmental Considerations) since EAL rejected me to sit in one unit. They asked me to completed whole course"Electrotechnical Qualification"........

thanks a lot

I'm not sure about your first question, but yes your NVQ level 2 would need to be level 3. It's not useless, but it won't get you your card. In most situations I have heard of they just demand that you carry out the full apprenticeship rather than try to work out the equivalent to your qualifications due to the amount of differences in practices. However km not sure I'd Hong Kong also follows BS7671, of it does it could give you a significant advantage.
