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

well, it's 3 choices...

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

multiple choice for a electrical trainee.
