JIB gold card

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
