Okay so it mentions;Same assessment, but less time allowed for apprentices on AM2S.
What is the Difference Between The AM2, AM2S & AM2E | XS Training Ltd
The AM2 is a practical assessment commonly taken as the endpoint assessment of an Electrotechnical training program, over 2-3 days at a NET approved test centrewww.xstraining.com
The point is the assessments are just made up by an invented body and have no recognised standing against a professional qualification which does not exist for Electricians.
Okay so it mentions;
AM2S is for apprentices,
AM2 is for Mature Canditates,
AM2E is for Experienced Workers route,
I am doing my level 2 and 3 in colleges, then possibly my NVQ3 with XS Training,
will I need to complete the AM2?
The relevance is to point out to the reasonable questions asked that the assessments mean nothing in the professional world of qualified professionals.Great point, Mike.
Not sure what I can tell you, other than it's still of no relevance to the simple and reasonable question asked.
isn't it required tho in order to obtain a JIB Gold Card? they're often viewed in the industry as someone who has the experience, which isn't necessarily true but that is how it is?The relevance is to point out to the reasonable questions asked that the assessments mean nothing in the professional world of qualified professionals.
I don't think it's just the system in the electrical industry that is broken, most systems are controlled by co-orporations and they control what is "value". If nobody considered it of "value" then nobody would lend it any importance and that is the issue nowadays. Even money, is worthless if nobody attributed any value to it.Does that not just show how broken the system is and the irrelevant's of the non qualifications available.
recruiters do too, if you look on Indeed Jobs a lot of them ask for a jib gold card if you wish to work on construction sites.The only people who regard them of any "value" is those that have that particular piece of paper.

I am not trying to dissuade anybody from undertaking an assessment, just pointing out that it is not a professional qualification, I have been out of industry for some time, but on most occasions would employ graduates to fill most positions, not for their qualifications, but for the fact they had demonstrated the capacity to learn.
It was a good standard back in the dayWhen I started out it was 2360 part 2 which seemed to be the industry standard qualification if you wanted to demonstrate you were qualified in the trade , it was certainly the qualification most employers at the time wanted to see that you had
