Qualifications

[Sparkp]

Been a long time since I done my apprenticeship and back then to qualify it was c&g 236 part 1&2,got a lad who wants a job but it's all nvq's now what are the qualifications needed now to be classed as a qualified electrician?

wow, a highly unusual and original thread. i can't wait to see what gems are thrown up by this genius enquiry.

Currently, the main course is the C&G 2330 which is todays version of the 2360.

The 17th edition qual is the C&G 2382

Inspection & testing is the C&G 2391.

The NVQ is the 2356.

Someone who has all the above would be classed as an 'approved electrician' by the JIB.

If the didn't have the 2391, they would be an 'electrician'

I qualified by holding a SA80 A2 assault riffle to my examiners head while he signed my paper work!

i tried that with the A1, but he just laughed, and dared me to fire. Damn stoppage!

 

[telectrix]

well, it's 3 choices...

1. it works. 2. it doesn't work. 3. it goes bang.

multiple choice for a electrical trainee.

Thanks for all the "witty" replies main reason for asking was the lad in question started his c&g about 7years ago but never finished it gave up the trade now reckons he only has to get his nvq's to be qualified and as I qualified 20+ years ago not up to speed with what was classed as qualified now as all the update courses ive done have always been c&g

the FN slr was fine at close range, but could only hit a barn at distance by accident.

He needs to be quick about it as the current NVQ will cease to exist very soon and after that he will not be able to do it as a stand alone qual.

Also, can we please keep the threads on topic.

Thank you.
