Can’t work in Ireland

lyledunn
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?

    A guy I used to work with was a NICEIC registered contractor, he applied to go to New Zealand with his wife, he was accepted and allowed to work there with his wife being the lead applicant, but not was allowed to work as an electrician because his qualifications were not recognised in New Zealand. 


    Now it appears that electricians in Northern Ireland are not considered qualified to work as meter operatives south of the border.


    Being an older guy I have worked with countless Irish guys, the idea that people cannot move between the UK and Ireland to work because their qualifications are not recognised is laughable.
