New ruling

[Farmelectrics]

The government have announced that all electricians working in domestic dwellings need to be qualified to nvq level 3 and have a jib card personally I think it's a great idea what's your thoughts and has anyone else herd the same

 

[Englishman]

Do City and Guilds still offer the nvq as a stand alone qualification? I know a few years ago, when they were due to be scrapping the 2330, they were gonna include level 3 of the 2330 and the nvq as 2357?

Also, there are still plenty of us doing the job, who trained up properly, without an nvq3, this still needs addressing.

Biff see number 45 though you could of just googled it it's there for all to see jib news page as well so there's your link

 

[Knobhead]

Don't you think it would have helped to post that right at the start?

 

[GLENNSPARK]

Still won't address ALL the cowboys doing cash work on the side with no qualifications...

but at least it culls the `open house` we have at the mo...where anyone can be endorsed for a few quid....

especially insulting as those that are carrying out these endorsements all have stuff about safety in their titles/slogans etc...

 

[GLENNSPARK]

It can’t and won’t come in one fell swoop much as I would like it to (why I don’t know, I’ve never done domestic.) But I’ll defend true tradesmen to the last.

As in Steve Betts statement a progressive process has to be put in place. I’m sorry* if some of the Electrical Trainee’s fall by the wayside. But if they can’t cope with the requirements they shouldn’t have been in the trade in the first place.

*no I’m not! The sooner you in trade get your act together the better.

just highlighted a few bits...

This is just saying that the JIB agree with the committee recommendations and not been put into force in anyway.

 

[Engineer54]

Just tell me the JIB/SJIB still requires a core qualification (236/2360, 2330, 2365 etc) and not just a NVQ 3 to obtain a JIB Electricians ticket?? Without that core qualification, any add-on certificate, including the NVQ 3 is ''Meaningless''.

 

[Badged01]

It's all confusing but as I understand it from the 'young' lads doing the "current" apprenticeship route, to get the JIB ticket you need to have completed the whole of C&G 2375. This consists of the 2365 (theoretical underpinning knowledge), the NVQ3 (workplace experience with the employer) and the AM2 (practical independent exam).

So in a nutshell, for the new guys on the block just an NVQ3 wont get you a JIB ticket .....

In short - yes!

If you ain't got a core qual you ain't getting that gold card!

 

[Englishman]

Still nothing as to what they're gonna do about lads with a core qual but not an nvq3.

 

[Badged01]

Their doomed .....

So on that score my C & G 236 parts 1 & 2 and 31 years in the game count for zilch towards a JIB card having held an approved card for years.

You don't need an NVQ 3, as there was no such thing when you came out of your time 31 odd years ago or any need for them. With a decent company, the strength of your training in those days negate any need for an NVQ, unlike most of todays trainee's coming out of there time.

Your wrong Richard. If you have the 236 parts 1 and 2 and as you qualified quite a few years ago you would get a card I am sure, the parts 1 and 2 have a lot of respect and merit throughout the industry. I am suprised you didn't obtain an AM2 though, that would have helped hugely.

 

[R G]

I have got 236 parts 1 &2 and I got the 2391 in 2004 , Previously I had a registration card with the JIB , I asked what it would have taken to get an approved JIB card , they told me that I needed the 2391 , which I did and then they issued a Approved Gold card ,,
