Can’t work in Ireland

A young man from the U.K. with the electrotechnical NVQ L3, 2391 and 18th Edition has been excluded from a job in the Republic of Ireland because their NVQ is said to acquire a level 6 status as indeed does the Scottish NVQ. The NVQ L3 in the U.K. is mapped only to Level 5. The essential criteria for the job was level 6. Believe it or not, the job is nothing other than installing meters for ESB.

anyone know how these qualifications are mapped?

  • What is an example of a level 6 qualification? Indeed, what is one for level 5? HNC? HND? Degree?

    Never heard of level 6.

    Then again, I have no idea what stuff is called these days. I went from the old C&G 200 series in the late 70s, to 2391 back in 2002 and stopped there.

    I was going to do the old 2400 at the same time but it got changed, broken down into more then one part, then done away with and lost.

    No idea if it has been rehashed in some form or other.

    I also stopped at the 16th Ed C & G.

    At the age of 60 I now go to books covering regs updates rather than continuously sit endless courses.
