college course help

[stevo82]

Hi guys I've tried to enroll at bridged college for a 2365. But when enquiring about 2357 I was told that Bridged nor any other colleges in S.Wales that he knows of offer this course this confused me. I then asked what will the apprentices be studying next year and he told me they would be doing the 2365 is he mistaken or are apprenterships different in Wales I've checked the prospectus and there is a level 3 nvq diploma in installing electro technical systems and equipment is this an eal equivalent to a 2357. He was pushing me too enroll for the eal course electrical & electronic engineering technology he claimed this is an equivalent to 2365 i wasn't aware there was one. any one know what's what with these courses. Im currently not working as an electrician but may have a job as a mate part time soon. Any help appreciated also sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes posting this on my phone

BTEC National Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is probably what he's talking about. It's what I did, gives you a steady grounding as long as your lecturers are decent and the College isn't just a money horder, which a lot are nowadays. But I will say it's not really geared towards installation, there's a different BTEC National for installation. I think it's BTEC National Diploma in Electrotechnical systems and with both of these courses comes NVQs, the type of NVQ you do depends upon the apprenticeship you get/have. If it's Maintenance you'll be doing the Maintenance NVQ and if it's installation obviously it'll be installation.

Hi i don't have an apprenticeship are the courses you mentioned recognised by the jib . im worried about taking the 2365 if i can't then do the performance units because apparently there's nowhere to do the 2357 is it possible to do the 2365 and then eal performance units to get jib recognised

You're guna have to wait till one of the installation lads to pass through here to answer that one mate, I'm not installation. Sorry I couldn't help

So anyone have any idea

If it isn't a city and guilds qualification or an NVQ then I doubt it will be much use for JIB membership. Find out the precise name of the qualification and level on the National Qualifications Framework and someone might be able to give you more information as to its relevancy.

Sorry ignore that - I've just read your original post

I believe that EAL is recognised by the JIB.

Does any know if you can cross match the 2365 with eal nvq part bit worried about doing the 2365 if i can't then get the 2357 nvq. Also will city and guilds bring an nvq out to replace the 2356 so you could do that on top of the 2365 instead

you will not get a jib card now without the nvq L3 , its that simple.
