Next step for approved electrician

[HJC]

Hi everyone

I’m fully qualified as an electrician with jib gold card and 2391 etc.
I am wondering what the next step to take in terms of qualifications.
The only thing I don’t currently have is the 2396 design which I’m not too keen on getting as I’ve seen no opportunity’s requiring this course.
I am looking to possibly do a HNC
The only problem I have is that I can’t find any college/university near me (Tamworth) that provides a HNC in Building services engineering, and I have found none in the uk which provide distance learning.
I’ve heard that the natural route for an electrician is BSE rather than EE, is this correct?
I have no plans to currently leave the tools but I’d rather get as many qualifications as I can while I’m fresh and my mathematics are hot.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Is that ban Approved Electrician with the appropriate C&G qual or an Approved Contractor?

Approved with JIB with the 2391 qual

Approved with JIB with the 2391 qual

ONC would be my next step

Hi Pete. The ONC doesn’t exist anymore, it seems there is no longer a clear pathway for an electrician to progress.

ONC would be my next step

You're at the equine ant to level 3 at the moment so next step up is HNC/HND if I'm reading right, see here;

Qualification Comparisons

Not sure what each of the City & Guilds levels really mean? Looking for NVQ Levels 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, 8?
