What's next?

[pedro1720]

Hi everyone! Currently on day two of my AM2... Feeling quite confident that it's all going well. Would like to say a quick thankyou to everyone who has posted help/tips on these forums! Has been a great help guys!!!! Basically the point of this message is to find out what my next step is. I got kickd out of college for falling behind on my NVQ. Someone from the college told me that if I took the AM2, even though I didn't have my NVQ, I would still be seen as a qualified electrician. Was wondering if anybody knew if this was correct or if I'm just wasting my time?

Many Thanks

Pedro

What other qualies do you hold in addition to your AM2??

The JIB is a strange organisation. From what I can make out you will need the NVQ3 eventually to get an electrician grading, but if you have the AM2, are registered on the NVQ3 and get a letter from your employer you may be able to get a 'provisional' electrician grading, but that is only intended to be temporary while you finish the NVQ.

You can't get a JIB grading as an electrician without a full level 3 technical certificate and an NVQ 3, the AM2 will help but you still need to do the dreaded logbook I'm afraid.
