SJIB (Scottish) Certification Scheme SJIB/JIB Approved Electrician card renew

[Deleted member 26818]

I wasn't sure about the 2391, I have been told that it is a requirement for re-newall of approved status, which is why I was curious as to if he had it.

A lad who use to work for me went for his upgrade from Installation electrician to approved at the JIB. He was told that approved status would need 2391-10 for a new upgrade, and if you had a lapsed JIB card then that also would be rquired.

I know this only becasue even after he got the 2391-10 the JIB wanted a reference that he had held a supervisory role, and he asked me to do him one. So the JIB are quite intense on this.

That's what I was thinking. Surely, if there was an exam it would say it?

I finished my apprenticeship in 1984 (City and Guild 236 Parts 1 and 2) and did a 16th edition test sometime after that, if I remember correctly. I called up the JIB in England and asked when my old JIB approved electrician card expired. I was told it expired in 2000. After calling the SJIB for details of which courses I needed to do to get a new card, I was told to to the ECS Assessment and this Select course. If I understand correctly, some people might have me be regraded as a labourer, even though I have been carting my sparks tools around with me for over 25 years.

Anyway, the main question I had was. Does this course -

SELECT - Scotland's Electrical Trade Association

Does it have an exam at the end of it. Wouldn't it mention it, if it did?
