Help gaining SJIB gold card ?

[Sean1997]

I’m a time served electrical maintenance engineer. I have my 18th edition and a HNC in electrical engineering. I’m now self employed working as a subcontractor but am only being paid as a sparks mate. I need the gold card to get full money, can anyone advise me on the best way to get a gold card? Thanks

Complete nvq , do testing exam and you have 18th, sure some maintenance engineers will say a little different.

Is the only way to complete nvq by attending college?

Not 100% sure, where you positioned and what's on offer. But ya can do night classes or day release here. You might skip 2 years..

Hi Sean. Get in touch with the SJIB and they will put you on the right track. With the experience and qualifications you already have you might be able to get a gold card by completing an inspection and testing course. You could do this through Select, they have a training centre in Cambuslang.
