SPARKSAFE ARRIVES ON THE MAINLAND

John Peckham
I saw the announcement at the Elex show in Harrogate that NAPIT had formed a partnership with Sparksafe. I assume all NAPIT registered contractors will gain automatic status for the License to Practice without needing the qualifications for direct membership?


I did hear that a well known rail contractor walked away from a contract as they did not have enough operatives that met the LtP criteria.


I am thinking that if it did gain traction a lot of contractors would be in the brown stuff as they would no longer be able to use cheap unqualified labour.


Google Sparksafe to see what it is all about. They don't seem to have many members at the moment.

    The simplest , quickest route could be

    For AC QS >=3 years in a row


    That gives you ECS electrician card* with gold blingy bit. Have that for a couple of years or so...then try independently for the JIB /ecs version-that being not so tied to certsure registration.


    It would seem all you are really short of is AM2 to get the JIB version of above. No NVQ required, just apply for card and most likely 2 or 3 good references, particularly from any MIET people would likely do it. I would think that once you have * the certsure version for a couple of years, a good application [CV of what you have done] and good references would then be enough without AM2


    The link provided by mike has this statement at the bottom
    If you completed an industry-recognised apprenticeship - even if it was a long time ago! - you can apply for an ECS gold card providing you can supply proof of your apprenticeship completion, such as signed papers/deeds.
