are you listening carefully ? i'll run through it one more time.............

send off your application with all the documentation they ask for....

if you meet the criteria , they will issue you a gold ECS card with the grading of electrician.

2 years after getting the first card , you can then apply for approved status , but they wont give it automatically just cos you got the 2391 , they will also want employer references proving that youve carried out all the duties and responsibilities of an approved electrician in recent roles.

and it doesnt matter if youve never worked for a jib company either.

got it ?
sheesh.
;-)

Yes thank you very much mate

Fair point, I've done shop fitting converting the costa coffees around the uk, I've worked on the council contracts, decent homes contract, agency for 6 months (Luton a&e fire alarms and the shard to name a few) now I work for BP on the petrol stations so a lot of TT work, I've done quite a broad range to be honest, wouldn't class myself as the mutts nutts as I'm learning every day although I've definitely class myself as competent.

good ! thats alot more important than the latest ****y pat testing cert.

I agree no discrimination, I think the JIB should take a leaf out of the SJIB's book so they both sing from the same hymn sheet as they say

well they're not going to do that until they make apprenticeships available to more people.

as opposed to vice versa............coming down here, sh***ing our women.

 

[iamelectric]

in haggisland you can do an adult apprenticeship for free as long you are working in this case with all ur certs you would get away with doing only the last 2 years and doing the am2 ie trade test but no matter how many years experience you have you still have to do a further 2 years to be approved
