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 a bit of a laugh, 

    As the IoM is and always was outside the EU (despite having UK dial codes - Mobile roaming - ouch !),

    nothing actually changes

    It was always just the allowance for 10 days (per year) 'temporary' worker status without a work permit.

    OR

    proof of a parent/grandparent being born and/or living at least 1 year there for worker status,

    else work permit required..


    As you say in effect you need a work permit for anything other than a quick installation.

    and there were always customs controls even if free movement and residence was allowed.


    Apart from how do you prove you don't need to prove your citizenship without showing it...

     any transport Co (airline , ferry etc) is allowed to set their own ID requirements anway...

    Hence most demand a passport.


    I love life (if I say it often enough... I will believe it)
