Iv been working for my dads company as an electrician for 11 years now. I decided to start the adult apprenticeship course to get my cards but is there any point in this course if I can go and do an NVQ3 and get my gold card with XS training or someone similar.

So I am nearly finished with Level 2. Now I have signed up to do my Level 3. Now shall I do Inspection and Testing, or my 18th, or do you think I should do my Level 3 and then do the others. I’m just thinking of whether getting the other qualifications will get me a better chance of employment.
Good afternoon,
I am just looking into doing my testing qualifications but not sure what one to do, should I do C&G 2391-52, would that then allow me to test and sign off my own work?
I have been recommended doing the EAL version of this test because it is ‘easier’ is that true?
Hi
I took the 17th edition back in 2010 what course should I take, update or full course.

Any advice would be great.
Thanks

Hi all,
As part of my job I am involved in Electrical estimating, I understand there are a few one day courses out there but I wondered if anybody knew of any courses that would lead to a qual ?
Thanks
