JIB grading complain

[maza79]

first of all i would like to say hello to all members, hope this is a right place for my thread if not please move it

here is my problem, any help appreciated.
I think i have been graded by jib unfairly, anyone have experience with similar issue and know what to do next? is the appeal against the grade to jib the only way? Thanks in advance.

whats the gripe..quals etc..there has been issues with jib cards in the past

hi thanks for your answer, will try to explain bit more. im trained overseas electrician according to the jib pdf file from their site:
(http://www.ecscard.org.uk/pdfs/ECS003R_ECS_Card_Application_Form_May_2011.pdf)

"Anyone trained overseas should contact the organisation known as UK Naric in order to have their qualifications evaluated; Overseas-trained operatives must also hold:

•The current BS7671 IEE Wiring Regulations* – and -
•A current ECS Health & Safety Certificate (or recognised exemption)

Bona Fide references must be supplied to confirm experience and competence."

i satisfy all the conditions above and they graded me as adult trainee stage 2. Been doing the job in this country for the 5 years now (working as a improver) and decide i have enough experience now to apply for the golden card. Any idea what to do now? im affraid if i appeal against this decision to jib they wont do anything, so do you know if there is any higher institution i can ask for help or complain?

 

[alarm man]

its a no from me..sorry..

 

[The Ranger]

reading it you have no formal qualifications which would say to me they have graded you correctly

 

[maza79]

according to uk naric who evaluated my qualifications, my diploma is a BTEC National Diploma (which is a nvq l3 basically)

yes but what about the underlying knowledge

236 part1 part 2? AM2?

we all had to do it

Guessing they want NVQ3 /AM2..just bite the bullet.

Worked with a wizzard from Zimbabwe, arrived here by the seat of his pants, knew BMS, HVAC, motors, controls, way out of my league yet graded the same as you.

Unfair i know, maybe you could go to Sidcup and try and speak to someone face to face..?

from the ecs website:

Trainee electrician (Stage 2)

A copy of your City & Guilds 2360 Parts One & Two, 2351 - All eight units or EAL Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology Level 3 –plus your Employer’s sponsorship (See Section 1c of the application form)

so looks like they accepted all that the question is what more i can do? btw im from poland

 

[Marvo]

btw im from poland

I'm not sure why that's relevant or you feel it might be. Are you suggesting their decision was swayed because of your nationality?

 

[micknew]

It does not matter where your from, certain standards have to be maintained.

 

[maza79]

lol im not suggesting anything someone mention zimbabwe so i thought i will say where im coming from, thats it

 

[maza79]
