JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) jib card problems !

[stilllearning]

I am looking to upgrade my jib card and I'm wondering if I should be paying for it as I'm employed and on the books ? Also I guess I will have to take the health and safety test ?

24 quid, we all have to pay, and yes the CSCS exam is needed
, 40 questions 34 needed to pass

Depends if your compay is a JIB company the yes they should pay it if not it's down to you. Unless you have one of the exemptions then you will need to tke it

I would recommend you renew it Kate, if the single register does happen you will need it, Well I hope so anyhow.

I have another reason for needing...its my backup for if I go to a job and they dont believe im a sparky cause im a girl. Had a few people near end of my apprenticeship that refused me access.

I will renew...just not in a rush too. I had an email about the single register. I skimmed it but it didnt actually have much detail on if when etc.

You pay for ecs test then you pay for jib card £40 and £25

It is up to YOU to keep YOU up to date.

CSCS H&S test is of no benefit for ECS/JIB card - only the ECS H&S test or approved exemptions are.
