Fire and Intruder firms don't ever seem to be interested in tech quals, only FIA and experience. Some FM firms don't seem to be bothered either, particularly in a multi - skilled type role. I imagine that is what you have found.

I Agree with Spin, you would definitely be suitable for the mature assesment NVQ3, it is aimed at people just like you. Just do it, get your gold card and have your choice of Electrical jobs.

To do the mature assessment the OP will still have to be in employment to fill in his evidence which seems to be the stumbling block.

He is employed in the industry carrying out electrical works. Fused spurs for intruder alarms.

Although the JIB/ECS application forms have lots of boxes to be filled in by your employer, I have always been Self Employed when applying for or renewing the card so have always left those boxes blank.
