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?

    I wonder how many of you see a "training" opportunity for certain bodies here? If the qualifications list is changed regularly enough there is a significant cash flow in certain directions? The strange thing is that "competence" has little correlation with the possession of various bits of relatively worthless paper! Since all of the alleged qualifications have been significantly dumbed down to ensure high pass marks (which are rarely achieved), and are sold at high prices via course fees, what is really happening?
