City and guilds qualifications.

[silver surfer]

I did my part 1 and 2 city and guilds in the 80s and also did the course c, then in recent years the 17th course and then even more recent the 2391.
I never did the AM2.
Not sure what the equivalent pt 1,2 course c equivalents are and whats the NVQ 3 ?

Can anyone enlighten me?

my thoughts are : if you are going to get on in life as an electrician and get a job with a company (at least), you must lead up to get your 2391 qualification, you only have to go to the jobcentre and see that employers want you to have the 2391 as part of your qualifications, no 2391 no job simple as that unless you go self employed but if you are not capable of passing the 2391 and keep on failing it do you think it is safe enough for you to go self employed and self certify your work, some people will argue that the 2391 is a safety net to ensure that the electrician who is doing the work with this qualification knows what they are talking about but only 40% of the electricians have the 2391 what does that say about the other 60%?

self certify with a 2391 qualification??? What about the Part P requirements?
