JIB graded me as labourer!

[sparkz]

Just been graded as a labourer. Iv got all parts of 16th edition up to level 3 and have AM1. I sent all my certificates and proof what i have achieved. Iv studied 3 years full time at college and didnt do my NVQ3 because i was not a day release scheme. Will i have to do 17th edition to gain NVQ3?

appreciate your help

i.ve got HND Electrical Engineering and they graded me as a labourer.!, just because i've not taken the time to do the 17th

Bit confused.....when you say you have "all parts of 16th edition" what do you mean??? The 16th edition (2381) was a course in it's own right.

To be graded as an "electrician" by the JIB you will need your NVQ 3.......you should have the 17th ed now anyway really.

this happened to me too depsite having done my city and guilds 2330 level 2 and 3, i wouldnt of minded so much but took the time to send it certs and didnt even print my qualifications on the back of the card, still im doing my NVQ 3 now anyways

I have had so much fun with JIB, the came up with a new grade for me after it went to the board?,they agreed with the qualification from three countries (british time served 2360+ all the way to 2391,2400 and a degree or,didn`t do the NVQ)and written recomendation from CEOs from three plc they would award me the card .But when it came had labourer on it ,they try there best but they do have a hard job and they have to set the standard somewhere and at some qualification. They do amaze me though that even with letters and a Bsc(Hons) you can still be a labourer so the card is in my office in Denmark till xmas in pride of place next to my Bsc(Hons),I managed to work for twenty plus years in major electrical contracts all over the world only to be told by JIB i`m dont get my card today sorry.

Don't want to upset you guys but i haven't got NVQ3 or AM2 and got an approved grade with JIB this year. I've been in the trade 10 years and underwent training as an apprentice in the armed forces. As long as you provide detailed references showing your experience and your qualifications and a nice letter they will grade you correctly.

 

[Anth]

Sure you don't need your am2 for the jib,only need it when your doing an apprentiship!

 

[sparkz]

I was told i can appeal against it and they would grade me again with a reference showing my experience. So im gonna give that a butcher

 

[chris gray]

ive got TRAINEE stamped across mine
it is what it is

 

[Bozza]

Could anybody tell me what grade I would get from the jib, with just nvq3, 7 years experience and 17th edition. Trouble is I ain't done the 2330 level 2&3 as I was told that, because of my experience I didn't need to do the 2330.

i think you have to do a level 3 theory i.e part2 which was 2360 now its 2330

So why would you apply for an Electricians JIB card, if your a degreed Engineer??

 

[Penance]

I've got 236 parts 1 and 2 and just doing 2382, looked at jib and I would only get adult training grade with that. Arse to that. I'll go without jib card.

we have two lads working for us, one lad is a really good spark has 2330 level 2 & 3, part p, 17th edition, and years of experience and is graded as an improver because he hasnt finished his NVQ 3, the other lad has just NVQ 3 and no other qualifications and is totally useless, dangerous and numb but he is a JIB graded spark with a gold card. I NO WHO I WOULD RATHER HAVE WORKING WITH ME.

The JIB Would not grade you as an electrician with just NVQ Level 3, I think you need:

2330 Level 3
AM2
NVQ Level 3
And maybe the 17th edition

If someone has been given a jib electrician grade with just an NVQ level 3, There has been a mistake somewhere and needs to be rectified! I love the JIB grading system for up and coming sparks, it divides the useless one who can't be arsed to finish off the NVQ level 3 in their own time to the ones who work hard and are serious about becoming an electrician and finish it!

The NVQ Level 3 was the hardest part of my apprenticeship.
