That's a strange line up to say the least!!!!
Your problem is no mention of AM2 or NVQ level 3. The last thing the JIB will be impressed with is a C&G 2377 (PAT testing).....

LOL. Actually you can have it added to your JIB card. It is listed as "City & Guilds 2377 - Inspection & Testing". So, according to my card, I have two inspection & testing qualifications lol.

I always smile when i see that totally numpty qualification, though in reality, it's not something to smile about, not when the C&G institute has absurdly deemed this joke of a qualification ''level 3''...

Just out of curiosity is there just an electrician grade? I know there is approved electrician, but wasn't sure if there was a slightly lesser grade

Yes there is both ELECTRICIAN and APPROVED ELECTRICIAN GRADES. Basically adding a 2391 or current equivalent gets APPROVED ELECTRICIAN grade.

As stated, you need NVQ3. In reality that's all you need with JIB/ECS.

Cheers mega man.
So what happens if someone like me only has 2330 2&3 17th and part p qual (yes there is a qual for this) then gets 2391 but doesn't have nvq3? A trainee card?

Labourer unfortunately. I was in the same boat as you. Had to bite the bullet and do the NVQ 3. Was a lot of work but I got it now, so was worth the effort. Approved Electrician on my JIB card.

Contact XS training ASAP, might have a few pre registered C&G 2356 left

No, you will STILL need a level 3 foundation qualification. The NVQ is a skill based qualification, not a technical qualification. You need Both!! ....In fact, i believe SJIB requires proof of apprenticeship and not just the level 3 qualification. But i'll leave that for our Scottish friends to confirm or otherwise??
