Advice needed on being able to issue Test Certs

richo106 · Jul 30, 2018

Hi

I currently work for a electrical contractor company

Ive got C&G 2330 installation etc... with gold card

My gold card has currently run out but obviously the company won't renew it if i leave, how can i get this renewed? do i need to?

I am looking to leave to and set up on my own but i was wondering what would i need to do be part p/be able to test and issue test certificates?

I know this may seem a simple question but any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

You can renew your gold card yourself.log into your MYECS and you will see what you need to renew.
Technically you don’t need any qualifications to I&T your own work.

Is your gold card a provisional gold card with your companies name on it?

If so then it'll become invalid when you leave and you'll have to do an NVQ Level 3 and AM2 to apply for one yourself

or they seem to give them away with promotional boxes of Kelloggs. . Or so it appears with the amount of 18 year olds flashing theirs about
