Discuss Level of qualification needed to obtain licence? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

LOLZ !!!

just looking through the poll results shows overwhelming votes in favour of the higher skills requirement of the nvq + am2 needed for a sparks "licence"...........

just like the JIBs requirements then ;-D

its nice to come full circle again lol
 
hmm i don't think its fair for older sparks like me to be told they need to do nvq3 as in go back to an aprentiship working under someone. Even though the gate has been open for too long for any cowboys to get recognised i would rather an option too show proof of trading for minimum years before a certain date.
 
well....as i sees it the government wont go there when it comes to even contemplating a Electrical Trainee gas man.....

too much comeback (although i know now of several kev`s that actively carry out gas work in folks`s properties......at least they do a drop test)...

so......

Depends when you completed your time. If an AM2 or NVQ wasn't needed at that time then there should be no need for holding them now!! The new core qualification is a very different animal to the Lv3 2360 that i took. In those days you finished your time having the appropriate trade skills gained during the apprenticeship, there were no AM2 or NVQs . Alas that's not generally the case with today's students, many of which will have little to no work skills/experience, hence the need for Lv 3 AM2/NVQ's....
 
Perhaps the JIB should introduce another grade, at the bottom end of the grading system but above a labour say a domestic electrician lo

No bloody way, ...you are then back on the slippery path of deskilling. It leaves the door wide open for others to want to start lowering all the grades to suit their own purposes....

The present grades have been around a long time now, and has on the whole, served the industry well.
