JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) JIB or not 2b

Can anyone advise?? I am gas safe registered with full acs quals, last year i decided to do a 5 day domestic installer course including part p so I could wire up boilers etc. I have just passed 17th edition Looking to do 2391 this september. I am currently installing single, 3 phase and gas smart meters. looking ahead would like to get involved with solar PV and micro generation.

My question is do I need to be JIB approved to work as an electrician? Can I become JIB approved without NVQ qualification? I am 38 and can not afford to spend 2-3 years at college doing an NVQ course.

Any advice would be very appreciated.

You need to check the JIB site for grading requirements but without that NVQ you'll struggle.....

In general a JIB card would only be required to work on costruction sites where CSCS cards are required.
Some employer's may require one, as part of their conditions of employment.
To obtain an approved grading, you would require the NVQ3 and the 2391.

you will need the 2330 level 2 and 3 also with the nvq 3 to get the card.

How would you know if you'd done a 'JIB appreticeship'? The Firm i'v done my time with isn't JIB as far as I know? My certificates have JIB plastered over them. Does that sound like I would get a JIB card? Thanks

When did you do your time Richard.

I did mine back in the 70's and it was a JIB apprenticeship, though I was not in a JIB company. I had a JIB deed of apprenticeship which was stamped/sealed by the JIB, this though as you can see was a few years back so it may have been different for you.

I finished it recently. I'm looking at them now, and the one that says I'v completed an apprenticeship has a JIB symbol in the top corner. I'm going to have to phone them I think!

Although the company I work has been of reasonable size, I doubt very much that their JIB registered. My god I'm going to be pi55ed if I still can't get one after all this time!!!

There's no requirement to have done your Apprenticeship with the JIB to get a JIB card.
It used to be, that an Apprenticeship with a JIB registered company was required to receive an Approved grading.
As far as I'm aware, now the requirement for an Approved grading is the 2391.
