Another waste of time and money then, The NVQ 3 is run by the colleges, depending on the one you go to it could take a week or a year. I had an apprentice that did it with a mate of thiers over a half term. They got a camera and some ppe and staged photos in one of thier homes. Two weeks later they had passed and still could not wire a 1 way lighting circuit or find a fault. Is the answer to have one uniformed body doing the assesment to make it fair to all?

Excellent point made flying ninja, I have read on here a few posts where people have stated that if you do the NVQ 3 then you don't need the AM2. My question would be can you wire a lighting circuit but if you can prove you have passed the AM2 i know that you can do it. Might seem a waste of money but it is a recognised qualification and well worth doing
 
So surprising this day in age that our trade qualification procedure is not simplified

Statutory courses to become "electrician", nothing more or nothing less to be covered over a set statutory period of time, each individual person assessed in the early stages of training, cause lets face it whenever you get an apprentice working with you, you can tell from day one which ones will excel and which wont, why waste your time and theirs.

The qualified ones should be put onto a national government register and whenever we need to carry out work make it mandatory to show your card to prove competancy, just like a driving license or passport
 
I tried to do a part P course when it came out and got told it wasn't for the likes of me because I had done a full apprenticeship etc and worked for an approved contractor.It was only for people who had not been trained as an electrician or were starting late ie job swapping.It had more to do with funding for "training non electricians" and taxing cowboys !! Well thats really worked then.
