its beside the point really, i know people with 15+ years of experience who would need to take a 2356 just to be called an electrician by the jib. I know what there reaction would be to that. Imo if you really want jib grading then obviously take the 2356.
You dont need 2356 to become a registered part pee electrician. Silly really.

part p is a complete and utter waste of this industries time but a qualified spark with 15 years of experience isn't a spark if he has no quals! You must have achieved the relevent criteria regarding quals. And a proven track record of experience to call yourself an electrician! You need both it's as simple as that.

Hes definitely an 'electrician' with plenty of quals, a successful one at that. Its up to the individual, hes never needed it for anyone to call him an electrician. I have worked with several people who are JIB sparks and my oh my do results vary, suspect is an understatement, yet that card says hes an 'electrician'.

So out of the 100 000 or so JIB/SJIB registered electricians you get a few bad eggs, so what are we saying here? that there doesn't need to be a regulatory body accountable to the electricians and the member companies? just profit making certifying bods and fast track training providers and the industry can look after itself?

My problem with you and alot of others is you think taht if you aren't JIB you aren't a proper spark. An NVQ3 qualification doesn't make you a fecking spark!

 

[Rikki Barrett]

My point is you can't just use 2356 as the qualification to say 100% that you are a spark and denie others such recognition because they don't have it. I was just trying to make a point that some of the clowns I have seen with the 2356 can claim they are 'electricians', when infact they are far from. Saying that I am saying there should be no regulatory body is pulling #/.p out of thin air. As stated before, IF, you really want it, you do have to take the 2356 unless you can prove experience another way.

Mate don't listen to these JIB obssesed bureaucrats, they haven't a clue, all the qualifications in the world couldn't prove you're a good spark. Most of them are probably bending conduits all day and thats there problem, theres their chip on their shoulder. Thats the reason why they say its a sparks job whilst every boss leaves the conduit work to others because its the pitts!

 

[ezzzekiel]

it is of course a combination of the two, experience is required to carry out the work and qualifications to prove you have been trained, the problem rises when qualification routes are altered changed, when originally sparks trained prior to the introduction of the nvq3 - now obviously a bar needs to be set, a minimum qualification required to be classed as an electrician and it currently stands at the nvq door but it should be realised that sparks trained prior to this should either be excempt or automatically graded as nvq3. Anyone not filling this criteria would be requires to attain the qualifications currently used as standard.

I for one do ALL my own conduit work because I really enjoy doing it.

Also I wouldn't expect anyone to do anything I'm not prepared to do myself!!!

The JIB is what it is, like it or lump it. Either way STOP turning every thread into a JIB bashing exercise as it's getting a bit boring now!

Your preference. But its realistic taht most mates jobs now say...must have experience in installing conduit & trunking £9ph. Fact Lenny!

The op was regarding what JIB grading he would be eligible for with his current quals. His question has been answered, we dont need to be told again what your thoughts are as the previous 40 odd pages of the other thread are there for all to see.
