17th (haven't taken the amendment)
2356 nvq3
2391

delta training?

 

[tommy.dale]

Yes mate why do you ask?

 

[tommy.dale]

Sorry I completed the nvq last decemeber

 

[iamelectric]

whats delta training

 

[tommy.dale]

Electrical Training Courses & Electrical Courses | Electrician Course from Delta Electrical Training

Training provider,i done the nvq 2356 online as it was the easiest option for me at the time got the proper c&g cert etc

 

[shanky887614]

the am2 is part of 2330.

it supposed to be done after nvq to prove competency

 

[iamelectric]

dont know about england but in scotland sjib dont recognise these training courses , they are a con

 

[tommy.dale]

My boss at the time was a absolute grinch and didn't let me take the time off and I couldn't do it, will I still be graded approved?

May be a con but I came out with the 2356 nvq cert

 

[iamelectric]

not sure mate , may be different down there but no chance up here unless your have done the 4 years at college and your AM2

 

[shagbite]

looking at your qual's you should be eligible for the gold card. adults that have the 2356 are not required to do the am2 - and you don't need the amendment for the 17th.

 

[tommy.dale]

I done a 3 year apprentiship and came out my time back in 2009 but didn't complete the nvq or am2 so I went with delta training before the 2356 changed in jan??

Am I classed as a adult learner?
Thanks for everyone's input btw

apart from pat testing and solar power, the qualifications that he has are exactly the same as the ones that time served apprentices have. they're not short course qual's (apart from 17th and 2391 - but they're add-ons).

you should be classed as an electrician - you've got 2330 levels 2 and 3, nvq level 3 and 17th. after two years you can apply for 'approved' seeing as you've got 2391.

 

[iamelectric]

i know mate and am not want to p**s on anyones parade but i have heard of guys doing these courses paying a lot of money promised big things then sjib dont recognise them

 

[iamelectric]

surely theres someone on this forum that works for the jib

Finished my lv 2 in 2007 my lv 3 in 2008/2009
So would it be 2 years from this or 2 years from my 2391 and 17th which where done at the same time and completed in 2011?
Sorry for the questions just wana try and clarify it all,

and I don't agree with the short courses I done the day release apprentiship!

 

[iamelectric]

hope you get it sorted mate

 

[shagbite]

you'd have to have your gold card for two years before they'd consider you for an approved grade. so it's 2 years from the day you get your jib gold card, not two years from the date you got your 2391.

had a quick butcher's at the sjib site and, if i read it right, it does seem as though they'll only give you a grading if you've served an apprenticeship.

if that's the case, it makes me think that they won't recognise english jib gold card holders that haven't done an apprenticeship.
