    Old qualifications equating to modern day equivalent

    Yes they are recognised. They are the modern equivalent to what's called the technical Certs. You need technical Certs , Nvq3 and sometimes AM2 to be a recognised spark in the eyes of the JIB.

    JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) Jib card Ecs gold

    NVQ was brought in the year I started my apprenticeship. Sept 94. There was total confusion at the college I attended. We did the c and g 236 1 and 2. Also we did AM1 and AM2. All the boys in my class left college with these quals however no one passed the NVQ. It took about 3 years to get the...

    JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) Jib card Ecs gold

    Oh I see, Electrical quals seem so complicated. Why can't there be one set way of getting qualified. Maybe it is better now with the 2357. But it's been a shambles the last 20 years. I've lost count of the number of courses and course numbers!!

    JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) Jib card Ecs gold

    I thought you would of had to have 236 part 2 before doing the NVQ 3. I would say you need the 236 part 2 and NVQ 3 to be graded.

    Exact same qualifications as me. You will have a approved electricians card. I was in the same boat as you and didn't do the Nvq. I later did it with xs and now I have the Nvq and jib gold card. Well done pal

    Green Oily Residue in Sockets & Switches

    I have come across this green slime lots of times. I done a CU change on a bungalow that had lots of this green slime. When I did a few tests prior to changing the CU, the IR tests were good. +200 M ohms on most circuits

    Ring end to end results not text book for cu change.. do we need to ensure 1.67 times

    Re: Ring end to end results not text book for cu change.. do we need to ensure 1.67 t I think r1 and rn should only have a difference of 0.05 ohms. That is the max acceptable difference in the measured values. That's what I got in my brain anyway!
