JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) JIB card in scotland

[saldamar]

I have worked as a marine electrician for the last 10years, four years ago I started studying through a training provider and have obtained the city and guilds 2330 level 2 and 3, the 17th eddition wiring regs and have also obtained the level 3nvq 2356. I have been offered other work outside my main job on the condition I have J.I.B card. I stay in scotland so I contacted SJIB last week and they were not in the least bit helpfull and told me unless I had done an apprentiship they would not give me a card. Does anyone know If I can apply to get a card from J.I.B instead even though I stay in Scotland not England and is the J.I.B card able to be used the same as a SJIB card?
