JIB gold card

AFAIK you need NVQ3, that was certainly the case a few years ago, oh yes you need to sit their H&S exam too

Hi all,


I'm under the impression that 2391 and 18th edition are level 3... the only thing I can think of is needing the AM2 or what was, I'm in the same position, I hold all certs except AM2 

Any further help with this would be good to see the outcome.


Thanks

Hi there


At the time I was going for JIB Gold Card recognition in 2012 I had completed the G&G Level 3 Certificate in the Requirements for Electrical Installation and also the C&G Level 3 Certificate in Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations (2391).


I had not gone through an apprenticeship (although I had been an industrial service engineer) so, after contacting the JTL training people, I eventually chose a company called Electrotechnical Assessment Services who put me through a programme of assessment of various jobs over a year.  I paid the £900, or whatever it was, and they came to assess a number of examples of my work.  With that year completed I was then able to apply for the JIB Gold Card.  This meant, to the industry at large, that I had gone through a suitable practical assessment programme (similar to an apprenticeship - the AM2 path usually) and so had the required experience to begin all types of electrical work.  Clearly, that was only a start. Expertise in the various types of electrical systems only came with actually working on them.  However, the JIB rating is a pretty decent accreditation to have in electrical work.


I've attached the literature I was sent at the time.


Hope this helps a bit

Hi all and thanks for your helpful replies,

My point is, that  it is not fair for people with so many years of experience and so many qualifications,

 this is not enough to fulfil the criteria.

From the other hand apprentices with the only evidence,

photos taking on the side, and no experience to fulfil.

As I said before the same person can assessed from a company and get the gold card conditionally

Suppose to be something different.


Regards and thanks again
