NICEIC. NAPIT no can do!

lyledunn

One of the very capable chaps on my 2396 course has been refused application to both NICEIC and NAPIT. Not one of those 5 week wonder graduates but someone with a load of unbroken experience with a well known large contractor and the NVQ 2330-07 Level 3 Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology Installation (Buildings and Structures) dated July 2007 along with his AM2. Simple reason given was that the NVQ is no longer recognised! 
That is bonkers as it was the foundation stone for competence recognition for thousands of electricians! Does anyone know why the qualification is not recognised?

    Shahab,

    See my post above. Without knowing your full details I cannot comment on your individual case. A recognised NVQ L3 qualification is required!

    So what your saying Is I have to do the experienced worker qualification. I checked and its nearly £2000. That's ridiculous. After 15 years of doing electrics. I am suddenly not qualified. Sorry not having a go but very frustrated.

    No, it means that the advice you got 15 years ago would have been that you completed the technical qualification and then complete the NVQ and AM2, both of which have been about for a far greater time than 15 years. You either misunderstood the advice, were not given it or chose to ignore it at the time due to the cost, regardless it is a requirement that you become qualified to the correct level.
