approved contractor top dogs????

[Engineer54]

The NICEIC are not Totally to blame, Part P has dragged the standards down NICEIC have had to move with it or they would have no members, in my opinion they make it a little harder to join than the others like I said you need 2 completed jobs for them the others let you do it as you go along. Yes I agree and remember when it was hard to become approved contractor now anyone can, at 21 you have lots to learn getting there in you late twenties

Are they NOT?? So who endorses many of these fast track and ultra fast track training centres then?? At the very same time as passing themselves off as being the bee's knees of professionalism and flying the safety flag at every opportunity. Oh you're dead right about them changing with the times, but that to them, has nothing to do with maintaining standards, it only means, how can we squeeze more money out of these suckers!!

True, they do recognize it for technician status, however they won't let me jump to technician without without going through approved first. They told me I have to get the 2391 or whatever it is now. Basically telling me I have to go backwards in order to go forwards, seems a tad absurd to me.

and here`s the punchline..
they are telling you how to go about it...

i`d tell them where to go about it...

This as far as i can see, is one of the long standing problems with the JIB, one area office wanting or applying different criteria from another. I'd go higher up the ladder to get a decision. As far as i'm aware they can't apply things in retrospect, so if you had 2400 at the relevant time they can't then ask for a latter qualification etc....

just do the damn course , get the ticket , get the grading.
you'll pass no problem if youre smart enough to complete the 2400.
i understand your annoyance but the jib wont budge an inch , and to be fair , the criteria for each grading has been the same for years and is clearly noted on their website.

Understand that, but......If my quals are enough for technician grade, why do they expect me to get approved first? Doesn't make sense to me.
