hi guys, i have some confusion with 17th edition courses and my current qualification

[sparkie1984]

hi everyone. unsure if this is 100% right forum but basically i did a JTL apprenticeship from school.

ive moved house and have just received my replacement certificate that was lost in the move. i seem to need this certificate to do the 17th edition?????

anyway on my cert it says: "level 3 certificate in knowledge of electrical installation engineering"

and it was awarded on: 25/04/2003.

i also have a "gold" jib card with the cscs hologram on it (did that 2 months ago).

basically. i cant seem to find what my current qualification would be down as? it appears city and guilds have chopped and changed courses since i did it!

also would i be eligible for the 1 day 17th course? or do i have to do the 3 day course?

im currently redundant and desperate to get back into work. im applying to everywhere including the likes of british gas but everywhere i look at requires the 17th edition. so im stuck.

any help to spread some ideas on this would be absoloutely amazing guys.

thanks so much for any help

2351 done as part of an Advanced Modern Apprenticeship will enable you to take the 2382-20 update (see City & Guilds guidance). Unfortunately not all of the centres appear to be aware of this and may make you do the 2382-10 full course.

I did 2351 as part of an Apprenticeship but was made to do full 17th Edition course.

oh really?

so having done a proper apprenticeship through jtl im covered then?

i guess the answer is it to ring city and guilds?

edit: so you shouldnt have done the full course? when did you finish your nvq level 3

Finished NVQ about four years ago. Should have been able to do update but City & Guilds hadn't updated guidance at that time for 2351 I don't think so was made to do full 17th course.
