I doubt you will be eligible for a trainee card as the qualifications you are under taking have to be heading towards nvq3 standards, which by the look of the course you are doing is not as it seems to be a home study course.

You will be able to get an ECS card like a site visitor or something similar.

Out if interest what certificates do you actually gain from completing this course? Maybe some kind of in house certificate?

Hi,
My latest certificates which I have obtained are:

C&G Level2 Certificate in fundamental inspection, testing and initial verification. I think that is 2392 but certificate does not say that.
and
C&G Level3 Diploma in electrical installation (building structures ) to be honest I do not know what that means

I do not think that the college does any NVQ levels. They do some kind of technical levels.

All what I know at the moment that I can do any work in domestic premises but I cannot to issue any certificates.

Do you think that a ECS card is suitable for me? If yes please let me know which one it is and I will try to apply for that.

I am totally lost in the matter.

Thank you.

yes, it depends on the sites though, some sites wont let anyone under approved contractor work unsupervised.

you will be fine with the trainee card, the only ones that need constant supervision are the aprentice cards

The problem with the ECS/JIB card, is that there appears to be no standard for obtaining a card.
They seem to make it up as they go along.
Only thing you can do, is phone them and ask, even then it's hit and miss whether what they tell you is correct.
