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?

    Nothing new here - go and look for (as an example) equivalence of UK engineering degrees against European degrees


    Our 3 year so called short cycle degrees are looked at with incredulity by the 5 year, long cycle degree  course providers in the EU


    I think (but I may be wrong) that many French people do three years bachelor's degree "la licence" followed by two years of master's "le master". I rather get the impression that the idea is to balance the labour market rather than to develop a better workforce.
