part p is not a quailifcation! sorry to tell you that!

unless you are JIB and HAVE A JIB card disregard them rates Mate..! i would suggest you be paid £7.50- £9

i took the city and guilds 2393 certificate in building reg for electrical instalations in dwelling,my mistake and cheers,ill try and get one of them cards then lol

 

[DurhamSparky]

you need to meet a strict criteria for a JIB card bud..!

and even with one if your employer is not JIB they will not pay you jib rates!

How can you have the 2330 level 3 if you have only been doing it for a year? I'm in
My 3rd year and only on Level 3!

i take it that hes been working in the trade for a year, been to college before he got a job in the trade.

 

[DurhamSparky]

you can get level 2 and 3 in 12 weeks!

 

[wattsup]

You can blag part p in 12 weeks pay 2/3k and all real electricians are in awe of your wisdom
