JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) JIB & NVQ Level 3

[Jel]

Hi,

I have done my 2330 level 1 & 2, 17th and 2391, however i have not done my NVQ Level 3. I have been working as an electrician for 9 years, most of which is domestic and partly commercial.

I was thinking of doing my 2356 course with Delta, as i thought this would give me my level 3 and make me fully qualified.

Would this be the right course to do, or do i need to do my AM2 aswell?
Not that i would ever need it, but if i was to apply for a JIB card, am i right in thinking i would not be able to get a full one, unless i did this course?

Thanks

No site visits in my case buddy. Why would I say any different?

Maybe each provider has a different criteria?

Hi, i'm 34 and I have 2330 Levels 2 and 3, I'm doing the 17th 1st amendment now, but have not got the NVQ3 or have done the AM2. from what I can gather from the JIB website, their requirements for a "time served" electrician states that if I have all of these certs except the NVQ3, that I can apply for a qualified electrician gold card. Can anyone clarify this for me? I have been working for over 10 years in the industry. It appears the NVQ3 is being stopped due to the new 2357 coming in? how do you complete the course of study without it?

Hi mate when the new 2357 which is a combination of the 2330 and 2356 nvq comes in your provider should be able to cross match your quals over to the NEW2357 which will jsut leave you with the NVQ element to do but i also believe dont hold me to it that there is a new renewables unit you would prob have to complete
or register on the NVQ LV3 2356 Now before it ends i think its july 31st it should have ended march 31st 2011 as shold the 2330 but they changed there minds on the last day and extended to july this year

there are some private providers were you can do it al on line one is delta training and another XS training who i am doing mine with
there may be others and colleges are still running it as mine is at my college its about £690
I paid £780 as when i enrolled i didnt have technical cert only 2391 17th etc
now i am also doing the 2330 lv3

some of the lv1 students have jsut been told they cant complete to lv2 and 3 and would have to get employment in industry to go on the new 2357 so all people retraining etc will find it impossible to get on the new 2357 with a college as its mainly aimed at 16-19 yr olds who want apprenticeship as these are the only ones whose courses will be funded or part funded with employer

Hi Guys im looking to do this NVQ lvl 3 i have worked for myself now since 2004 and hold all relevant quals including 2330 lvl 2 & 3 and have enough onsite exp. I have looked at doing this with Delta training as i have loads of work examples of different systems only prob being i dont work with another spark who could sign it off which has me stumped any ideas of how i can get around this issue?
Cheers

Hi Mate do you not know any JIB sparks as this is what you need to sign your witness statements etc

Or speak to Delta to see if something could be arranged or look at XS training
good luck mate its not realy a good system the C&G quals

 

[Snapester]

Not many i can think of i will have a look around.

I just posted on a thred on another forum.
Apparently the JIB are now asking for the NVQ3 for renewals.
That's going to be a bugger when mine runs out in 2014.

I think i am going to do it with Delta training i will call them tommorrow, and get my mate to sign it off for me.
