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?

  • It is not an “EU thing” if left to the EU the grading would be the same across the EU.


    This is an example of each country doing things differently, so the gradings are scored differently in different countries.


    Welcome to 2020. Though the grading required for installing meters in Ireland still seems high.
