NAPIT Certification Scheme Napit & na2391-5

[bristolianpasty]

Guys,

I am looking at signing up with NAPIT rather than NIC because i got bought up by a NAPIT spark, and he talked very highly of them. Anyway, you can do the NAPIT 2391 course, which is obviously not as good as the city and guilds one, but now it has become the 2394 & 2395 its guna cost £1200+, and this napit one is £550 if i join as well...

Just wondered if any one has done this course? or what peoples views are on it?

Like many other sparks, no money here, so would rather save the 600 off the C&G way and do the napit one... it will still get me the NAPIT scheme so it cant be all that bad??

Cheers!

dont bother with this napit `2391`...caus it isn`t....a 2391 that is....
all its worth is to wipe your arse with....

Although i normally use a swans wing for that job,i fully understand the sentiment...

 

[bristolianpasty]

GLENNSPARK surely it is worth a little something, I suppose its a cheap way of getting into napit, without doing both 2394&2395? That's what I gather, but if you go looking for a job else where they will jus laugh at you? So I suppose your tied into napit, an tied in to only doin testing for yourself...?

I think you've answered your own question . Do you want a qualification just to get into napit or one that is recognised throughout the industry . Who knows where your career will take you in the future?

Go for the proper recognised course from C&G. You then have it for life

2 people go for a job one has C&G 2391 the other has NA2391

Interveiwer to person with the C&G 2391: I see you have the C&G 2391 for Inspection and testing fine any other qualifications that I may want to know about?

Interviewer to the other person: Can you tell me what this NA2391 is please as it sounds like a Micky Mouse qualification to me?

Candidate: Informs the interviewer about it

Interviewer: Ah I see so it is a Micky Mouse qualification then

It's like in-house company training courses great while you work for the company but not much use elsewhere outside.

this is about the level of it Ian...
its no good outside Napit....
and what a sly way of tying you in to their scheme because as far as i am aware you have to hold this `ticket` to carry out your part pis work with them....

Ian you have to do what you have to do but as the others have said if you can, do the C&G, they have been around along time and will be here long after the scams are weeded out.

 

[ian.settle1]

Unless they have changed their rules their qualification only lasts 3-5 years then you have to do it again.
