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?

    There was a discussion about Brexit earlier this morning on Radio 5, it was said you can apply for citizenship of another EU country, but it doesn’t help you with  recognition of qualifications to actually be able to work there.


    So going back to the original post, it just looks like UK electrical trade qualifications are not rated in other countries as being an equivalent of their own.

    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

    It was said this morning on Radio 5 that when we finally leave the EU this time next year that Holland will probably be the most difficult EU country to settle in and to do so UK citizens will almost have to renounce their UK citizenship and declare themselves Dutch.


    So think carefully about falling for A big bosomed girl with a Dutch accent. It will really change your life.

    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.

    Even if were were still in the EU, we could have opted out of the EU-wide vaccination scheme if we wanted to.

    It would have most likely had the same effect in or out of the eu medical system - we still couldn't have gone our own way on vaccine procurement. Many people today will owe their lives to the fact that we got out in time. I feel sorry for those in the eu who have yet to die simply because their non elected officials are still dithering whilst trying to make a fast buck from their respective pharma industries on the back of this crisis. Poo poo the AZ vaccine because it is British and then procrastinate until your own suppliers come on online. Meanwhile hundreds of your own citizens are dying needlessly. How democratic eh? What's next? Cozy up to Putin  for a dose of sputnik?

    Oh - they've already done that. Buy anything but British to save your political faces in front of your dying populations.

    Lovely folk in Brussels aren't they.
