Are you sure you have all the qualifications needed ?

[JD6400]

I get bloody lost on which hoops we need to jump through to stay qualified !?
Here is what i have got , have i missed anything ?

1993 / 2361 part 1 Distinctions and merits
1994 / 2361 part 2 " " "
2004 / 2391
2006 / 2377
2007 / 2381 As i understand it this was a updated 2361 part 1 and 2 . I re sat it totally as i wanted reinforce what i already knew !
2008 / 2382-20

All passed first attempt .

Two days before i sat the 2381 exam they announced the 17th - was not impressed !!! After i booked the course i realised what a --- i would look in front of our blokes if i had failed it !:49:

Do I need more to be the MD or is this enough , i think it is but is anyone truly sure where we stand now days ?

Good point , thats a bit of a sore point as me other director / best mate did his two weeks ago through a company who we supply two men full time to , and the bugger never told me about it until the morning of the day !


Edit ; Would like to do something on fire and emergency lighting , what would these ones be ?

The the is we are allowing the tail to wag the dog here ie every 5-10 years lets shake up all the qualifications O and by the way you are no longer qualified because you need to pay us lots and lots of money for us to give you a shiney new qualification but if you come fro eastern europe then we are legally obliged under european law to recognise that dodgy electricians card that are being punched out for $100 a time
