Qualification?

[Robthebob]

Folks,

I recently past my trade test couple of weeks ago, so over the moon with that!

But once I got over that, the usual dawned over me like everyone else before and after me, I am getting paid off now...so much for motiviation!

Anyways, looking for a wee bit of help understanding this and if it sounds silly...then I will take the hit.

I quite fancy taking a different career path and going else where as I am pretty ****** off the now with the way i'm being treated (being paid off) and had a job interview the other day, guy laughed and said "Sorry son, need someone who isn't just out the wrapper"

On the job application (not an electrical job of any kind) it asks what qualifications do I hold. So I've fired in all the schools ones, but looking to slot in my qualification as a spark. Any ideas what this would come under? No one actually ever told me what the qulification is on a bit of paper.

If this is in the wrong area, feel free the move it.

Rob!

Hang on. You have done a 4 year apprenticeship. You should know the qualification inside out, including the city and guilds course number. You should have NVQ3 2356 or 2357 if you have just done it.

Hammer I think you mean. Cudn hold the wrong end cause the claw would stick in you hand

 

[davesparks]

The full title and course number is printed on the certificate. Much easier to read it there than rely on our guesses!

I can't wait to hear what it is.

You might have hit the jackpot,BSc,Phd,etc....on the other hand,it may have just been a prolonged,cycling proficiency test....

Asking would have solved this...:conehead:

 

[Knobhead]

I to want to hear what:
A/ the trade test involves.
B/ what the qualifications are in real life.

Sorry to say but it looks like the armed forces have let yet another down.

I'm guessing the trade test is the AM2 test taken by apprentices at the end of their third year, completing their VQ/SVQ quals. This allows them to apply for their graded (S)JIB card.

If the OP doesn't come back we'll never know.
